Dig it up, shouldn't be too hard with a few Google keywords.
How is your autistic child (whom you bring up all the time) relevant to this?

The left has gone full retard, or Marxist.
But then again, I'm being redundant.
How is that Left?
That's just way gone into the no sides stratosphere.

A balance is needed. There is more to life than the 3-Rs.

The students are failing miserably. The 'woke kindergarten' teachers brought in are pushing anti-white hate, anti-America and anti-Israel hate and divisiveness, and YES, the one quoted even talked about ETs being liberated, it doesn't have to be on their website, she said it. Obviously the time spent on this woke garbage should have been spent on teaching reading and math. The woke program is an expensive failure - expensive financially and expensive as in it cost the students years of actual learning that they should have had.

I wouldn't call Marxism "woke".
Deluded, unworkable and ultimately catastrophic, yes.
WOKE -- seems to have taken on a life of its own.
Anything not Right/Chrisitan National -- is now referred to as Left or Woke or Marxist.
Personally -- I see WOKE as positive human evolution.

Sorry, your source is doing that 'shock' social media for attention, without much substance.

Sorry, but the facts show that the students spent their time being indoctrinated with woke anti-America, Anti-Israel, Anti-White, crap while the actual learning of ABCs and 123s were neglected. Less than 12% of the students can read at their grade level and under 4% are proficient in math, a 4% drop in both subjects in the last two years - those facts are A LOT OF SUBSTANCE.

This group is invited into schools to consult and hold workshops they are not teaching kids the 3Rs.
Again, attention-getting article for the shock value for a specific target audience.

That's the point. The school is spending time and money with far left woke indoctrination of anti-America, anti-Israel, anti-White, etc etc instead of spending the time and money on learning ABC and 123. The students all FAILED. Instead of bringing in woke kindergarten teachers who call for the destruction of America and Israel, the time and money could have been spent on actually teaching children what they should be learning ... how to read and count.
Again, attention-getting article for the shock value for a specific target audience.
Again, NOPE. It's an article exposing the fact that the destructive woke agenda is a failure.
The failing stats of the children in reading and math show it.
And their attitudes later in life will show it as well.

It's not for you or anyone else to decide what's best for which children in a school, that decision belongs to the parents and the school administration.
Not all schools are created equally. Some schools with a diverse population should be consulted or have workshops as to what is specific for them. All others can opt out.
The failing grades cannot be attributed to anything else but the curriculum, look there for the problems or lack of progressive teaching strategies.

We most certainly CAN say what is best for children in a school if we want to. We all have a right to our opinions and having the opinion that it's obviously a failing system is definitely allowed. The tax payers of this country are going to have to support the students who all fail in schools and will have to support the students who become criminals because it was pounded into their heads that America must be destroyed. It becomes our business.

Being anti-America and anti-Israel and anti-White in Kindergarten isn't 'diversity'.
It's just far left woke activism polluting children who should be learning ABC and 123.

Again ... the 'curriculum' was woke anti-America, anti-israel, anti-white woke ideology and not ABC and 123. The students all failed because of that.

If you are not directly involved with that school or the children in it, then your opinion matters not.
The curriculum has nothing to do with this group. This group are not teachers, they are consultants who consult and hold workshops when booked in to do so, with the approval of the parents and the administration.
This group is pro-Palestine and introduce diverse children to abolitionist themes appropriate for their age.
Anti-israel, anti-white, saving ETs - nowhere on their site to be found.
