Editorial: Anti-’woke’ map targets hot spots in Missouri. Every single one of them is a school

The arch conservative Liberty Alliance has unveiled its new “Woke Heat Map” of Missouri, dotted with “hot spots” where it says the “the Woke agenda … is permeating all across” the state. Click on one, and you’ll see the spots tie to instances where someone has raised a stink about one of the right-wing culture war outrages of the day: diversity training, a lesson about George Floyd, “gingerbread person” cookies.

What ties all these hot spots together? Each one targets a school. And what reason could there be to drop pins on a map other than to mark the sites for protest — or worse?

If there’s another reason, the group hasn’t told us, even after we asked repeatedly Tuesday why it’s doing this now, of all times.
