this so-called woke indoctrination agenda. i really take offense to the continued use of wokism referring to the democratic party. john: not just coming from the classroom but also disney. a cartoon under fire for what it s telling kids about race, such as pushing for reparations, not just for slavery in the nation s past, but also what s happening right now and wait until you hear why the show is telling kids that abraham lincoln was no hero. welcome back as america reports rolls into a second hour. hi again, sandra. sandra: a lot of tense moments in that education hearing as democrats suggested parents concerned about woke lessons were worked up about nothing. we ll show you how republicans are responding. john: and the controversial disney cartoon may help prove their point. it s all ahead after a fox news alert. sandra: a bust at the southern border putting new perspective on a jaw-dropping statistic as we learn from border that enough fentanyl has been seized
