California schools push woke agenda while kids fall behind parents furious over failing basics

California’s schools are failing our kids—and it’s not an accident. While families are desperate for real education, the state’s “leaders” are turning classrooms into left-wing activist workshops. The California Department of Education just held a so-called “Black Student Achievement” webinar. Don’t be fooled by the title. You won’t find useful information about raising reading scores or closing learning gaps. Instead, you’ll see a parade of activist buzzwords, woke propaganda, and the latest fads cooked up by radical bureaucrats.

Parents hope teachers will focus on basics like math, reading, and science. Sacramento has other plans. Rather than actually improving achievement with proven tools like the Science of Reading, these bureaucrats are doubling down on political training. They’re obsessed with dividing students, politicizing teachers, and pushing failed ideas. Instead of lifting up kids with knowledge, they’re pushing agendas that have nothing to do with real learning.

It’s insulting to every hardworking California parent. Kids in this state are falling behind. Test scores are embarrassing. Yet the only thing the Department of Education seems to care about is telling teachers how to examine race, privilege, and “systems of oppression.” The result? More wasted time, more bureaucratic nonsense, and less real education.

This isn’t about helping students. It’s about brainwashing teachers to become foot soldiers for leftist ideology. The radicals in charge don’t care about reading and math — they care about spreading their worldview, even if it means leaving another generation hopelessly unprepared. Meanwhile, American values like merit, discipline, and achievement are tossed in the trash, replaced with guilt trips and social experiments.

When will someone in Sacramento have the backbone to call this what it is—political indoctrination, not education? California parents deserve better. Their kids deserve basic skills, not lectures about which “oppressed” group they supposedly belong to. The only thing the Department of Education is achieving is the collapse of public trust in schools. If California’s bureaucrats spent half as much time on reading instruction as they do on radical ideology, maybe students would finally get the education they deserve. But that’s not the point, is it?
