    So a school with horrible test scores calls in the Woke Kindergarten folks to help them, and instead of helping the kids improve their math and literacy skills, they got a good dose of left wing woke propaganda such as everything is racist, cops are bad and Israel needs to go. The proof of how well this worked out is seen in the test scores which fell even lower.

    When will people learn that going woke only makes things worse?

    For those who like to question the source, I provided 3 links.

    Bay Area elementary school where just 4% of students are proficient in math and 12% in English spent $250K on 'Woke Kindergarten' program where third-grade teacher was told to 'disrupt whiteness', and whose non-binary creator wants to abolish police

    • Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward spent $250,000 on a ' Woke Kindergarten' program only to see its student's literacy and numeracy rates plunge
    • The program states its mission as an 'abolitionist early learning ecosystem' that trains teachers to uproot white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression
    • The for-profit company was founded by non-binary early educator Akiea 'Ki' Gross who previously hit headlines when their audiobook for children suggested kids should not feel safe around police
    A Bay Area Elementary School has spent $250,000 on a 'Woke Kindergarten' program only to see its student's literacy and numeracy rates plunge.

    The 'Woke Kindergarten' program states its mission as an 'abolitionist early learning ecosystem' that trains teachers to uproot white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression which are barriers to learning.

    After spending the federal money on the program Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward saw numeracy among its 474 students fall to a new low of just 4 percent and literacy just 12 percent.

    The scores, recorded last Spring two years into Woke Kindergarten's three-year contract, represent a 4 percentage decline in each category.

    The school also remains on the state's lowest-performing level on the Comprehensive School Improvement list and has a lower rate of attendance than before the program was introduced.

    Let them! Lib kids will get dumber and dumber and will be working for the kids of republicans who were smart enough to homeschool their kids and keep them safe from nasty pedos (oh I’m sorry left. I meant to say “maps- minor attracted persons)
    The left is so stupid with this woke crap they don’t even realize they are building the Republican new world order. Let’s keep letting them think they win. Seeing their spirits get crushed is gonna be entertaining

    No big surprise the amount of liberalism kids are indoctrinated with is directly proportional to how stupid they become

    How does “disrupting whiteness” impact math?
    And what the hell is “disrupting whiteness”? Sounds like a ridiculous idea.

    Test scores are dropping nationally. Not seen a breakdown by State but doubt the decline is limited to blue States or that the left is totally to blame.

    The OP posted the topic and used weak sources. It's on him to provide a legitimate news source. DailyMail and Redstate are part of the right-wing echo chamber.

    What was the scores before?

    And what is a woke kindergarten program?

    When did the program start, and were the children's scores even related to these kindergarteners classes

    I believe the scores have gone down. I just find the reason for the decline to be a bit suspect. Again, how does “disrupting whiteness” impact math?
    Does “disrupting whiteness” somehow prevent one from memorizing multiplication tables?

    They are like the ones that was in the news not too long ago where they were forcing the white children to arrest the black ones. but I think those kids weren't even of kindergarten age
    Dayum! The sickness of the left has no limits (or at least it seems that way)

    I doubt the kindergarten class had much effect, if the students tested even participated in the class as they are older

    that said, I would be against any woke type classes for these young children - teach children to get along.... not teach them some children are better or worse then other based on whatever

    and never teach children they can be anything they want when they grow up (this creates narcissists), teach them anything you want to accomplish will take hard work, time and effort to accomplish

    a good quote

    "We learn by doing, by taking risks, by failing, and, only then, by succeeding. We grow from our mistakes and from our failures.
    If we cannot see that failure is the essential other half of success, then we try to avoid the failure and, in so doing,
    we avoid success." ~ '2150 AD' by Thea Alexander

    Who knows if their teachers even know the right answer. I found a scholarly article supposedly on math written by two people neither of whom noticed their own math error. "Thus, learning the full multiplication table is hard, but it should be possible to learn a subset of multiplication facts as long as they are dissimilar from each other (e.g., 9 × 9 = 63 and 7 × 4 = 28 ." https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41235-022-00451-0

    Leftist math can't be taught because its dictated and is in constant flux.. You can find numerous examples right here on PF almost in every progpost..

    You won't find stories like this on your propaganda news sources.

    But instead of asking why, realizing how absolutley stupid some of this woke non-sense is, you double down and scream nuh-uh!

    Well, actually, uh-huh.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost...funds-spent-on-woke-kindergarten-program/amp/

    Care to actually defend or oppose this so we can actually have a conversation? Or do you just prefer to scream at the sky about MAGA?

    Well, since you want to compare, how many schools are less than 5% proficient?

    No, the **** it isn't.

    Sorry to knock you off your ivory pedestal, but you don't get to dictate what is acceptable sources. If you think the source is inaccurate, prove it.

    The fact is, you don't want to admit the truth. The progressive liberal agenda is absolute dog ****, and you support it.

    So you hide.

    The point from the OP that you would like to avoid.

    This school has abysmal proficiency scores, they spent a quarter million dollars on left wing propaganda, and the scores fell even further.

    Alameda County has voted Democrat since 2020, and in the last election 80% voted for Biden.

    This liberal agenda is dog ****. Let's teach little kids wokeness and pretend to ourselves we are doing anything but indoctrination.
