California School Struggles After Spending $250K on 'Woke Kindergarten' Program

Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California, spent $250,000 in federal funds on a "Woke Kindergarten" program, resulting in some of the lowest math and reading scores in the state. Despite a 4% drop in both areas over two years, the school's superintendent defended the program, emphasizing increased attendance. However, teachers expressed concerns about the program's focus on disrupting whiteness and its impact on classroom dynamics, with some feeling silenced for dissenting. The controversial program's emphasis on abolitionist early education and challenging societal norms has sparked criticism and raised questions about its effectiveness.
