A salmon does it everyone is happy. Your local priest does it, everyone loses their minds

Someone could fake nearly any weird messed up scene and claim it happened in "The Magic School Bus" - and I would believe it.

I've seen enough of that show to just assume the editors only knew the phrase "did the kids survive? That's fine then."

The above is misleading though, they weren’t in eggs at the time

As with so many scenes in "The Magic School Bus", that clarification makes me think "oh, that's better then...I guess...?"

Can't do this anymore. Not since teaching became "woke".

This is like the wokest show, it's so wokes that it teaches science to children

The Magic School Bus was from a time before woke pollution. I fondly remember every episode ending with the class yelling at the Latino student.

Because he was the class clown, not because he was brown.

From my limited insight (only seeing it on the internet since this only exists in English) it seems to be a loose term to refer to many, but not all progressive societal movements that contradict the world view of the last few decades.

Examples: LGBTQIA+ culture (pride month / parade, featuring them in movies/books (this one isn't new but still apparently counts as woke), ...), new laws to require a certain percentage of [whatever, for example a company's employees] to be female / to be coloured, ...

Somehow apparently not included (correct me if I'm wrong, again, I only know this term from the internet): Women getting less children but working more, the fight for equality for women.

So far I've usually seen it in negative context, not always but often hostile.
