I really have nothing more to add to this article, so I will just post it here in hopes more people read it. Everyone needs to read this!!
Johnny can’t read or do math, but philanthropists are making sure he learns ‘equity.’
“If public schools and nonprofit groups are serious about reducing the educational gap between racial groups,” writes Rhyen Staley at the Washington Examiner, “they will start dedicating the time and money necessary to teach students to read and perform math at or above grade level.” Instead, many groups waste millions “convincing students to feel good about their failing reading and math scores.” And some philanthropies use grants to steer public schools in “certain ideological directions,” though “studies reveal no evidence that these grants have improved student outcomes.”
In Denver, where only 38% of middle-schoolers are proficient in reading, the system is using a $10 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation “to implement systemwide anti-racist and equity-focused policies.” School boards must manage outside funding to “shift the focus away from promoting woke ideology and toward teaching children the reading and math skills they need to succeed.”
