Enos: Colorado’s 2025 session pushed the most woke agenda we’ve ever seen

By Colleen Enos | Commentary, Christian Home Educators of Colorado “Woke” does not begin to describe the ideological beliefs of the majority in the Colorado legislature. They have become bold in their desire to reorder our lives in accordance with two basic ideological beliefs. First, there is no intrinsic value to human life.
