A decades-old clip of the Christian conservative former educator and VP nominee Ezola Foster resurfaced and went viral last week.
In an almost prophetic speech posted by the X account End Wokeness, Foster discussed the far-left ideology taking root and growing within the American public school system.
Commenting on the push for “diversity,” Foster stated, “I’ve been on this earth more than half a century and as long as I’ve been in America it’s always been diverse. So I’ve been wondering, what do they mean by that?”
