Criticism of Woke from the left: "Woke Kindergarten"

[BidenPresident]

That's the actual name of a business, and this sad story is a good example of how race-centric thinking is actually dangerous to the well-being of people, in this case, schoolchildren:

A Hayward elementary school struggling to boost low test scores and dismal student attendance is spending $250,000 in federal money for an organization called Woke Kindergarten to train teachers to confront white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression and remove those barriers to learning.

But two years into the three-year contract with Woke Kindergarten, a for-profit company, student achievement at Glassbrook has fallen, prompting some teachers to question whether the money was well spent given the needs of the students, who are predominantly low-income.

In the United States, there are two verboten topics: class and (bizarrely) Israel. But around these two topics, elite opinion is unified, although for different reasons (I'll bracket the inability of elites to seriously discuss Israel for now).

Not a joke. Here is the story:

The anti-racist consulting firm Woke Kindergarten will no longer train teachers at an East Bay elementary school, the three-year, $250,000 contract terminated Monday after a national backlash over the provocative content as well as the questionable use of federal funding.
