California School's 'Woke Kindergarten' Program Fails Academically

Glassbrook Elementary School in California used a $250,000 federal grant to fund 'Woke Kindergarten', a program aimed at confronting white supremacy and racism in schools. Despite claims from the school's superintendent that the program has improved attendance and suspension rates, the school's test scores have markedly declined, with less than 4% of students proficient in maths and under 12% reading at grade level. Critics argue that the program, which also supports 'abolitionist early education' and 'pro-black, queer and trans liberation', has not improved academic performance.
