I am responsible for interviews and some hiring at the company I work for in middle TN. We use a temp service to staff us but we get the final say. If I sense they are the woke type I will give my boss the signal and he knows this is a hard no. If the temp agency asks why they didn't get the job we simply say we felt they were not a good fit end of story.
Some variant of "Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself?" can be a gold mine. People can tell you about stuff that pertains to the job, but doesn't fit in the legally defined boxes you are allowed to ask about, or they can shoot themselves in the foot. We tended not to hire very many of the people that stayed silent for that question.
