I’m repeatedly told these people are the fringe and that we have nothing to fear from them.
From the article, since some are too lazy to read it but will argue anyway:
" 'Woke Kindergarten' describes itself on its website as "supporting children, families, educators and organizations in their commitment to abolitionist early education and pro-black and queer and trans liberation."
The organization also has "Woke" words of the day like "ceasefire" "abolish" and "Woke Wonderings" about challenging the "legitimacy of the Supreme Court" and abolishing the police, money and the military.
Another "wondering" asked, "If the United States defunded the Israeli military, how could this money be used to rebuild Palestine?"
"Our reading scores are low," a Glassbrook teacher, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Chronicle. The funds "could have gotten us a reading interventionist."
The teacher added of the "Woke Kindergarten" training, "It slowly became very apparent if you were a dissenting voice that it’s not what they wanted to hear."
Tiger Craven-Neeley, another teacher at the school, told the Chronicle that "Woke Kindergarten" trainers told him he should focus on "disrupt[ing] Whiteness" in the classroom.
"What does that mean?" he said to the Chronicle. "I just want to know, what does that mean for a third-grade classroom?"
Craven-Neeley, who said he supports discussing racism in the classroom, said his requests for clarifications got him temporarily banned from training sessions.
He added that one of the trainers referred to the "so-called United States" in one of the sessions."
I mean, it just isn't in schools, right?
