"California School's Struggle After $250K Spent on 'Woke Kindergarten' Program"

Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California, spent $250,000 in federal funds on "Woke Kindergarten" training for teachers, resulting in a 4% drop in math and reading scores over two years. The program, aimed at boosting attendance, has faced criticism for its focus on disrupting whiteness and promoting abolitionist early education. Teachers have expressed concerns about the lack of clarity and dissenting voices being shut down, while the school district superintendent defends the program's focus on creating a safe and inclusive environment.
