A California elementary school is paying $250,000 to an organisation called Woke Kindergarten for a program to train teachers which includes asking students if the US military should be defunded to rebuild Palestine.
The San Francisco Chronicle revealed that Glassbrook Elementary is paying the group through a federal programme aimed at helping low-performing schools boost achievement. However, two years into the contract, student achievement has fallen further.
Some Glassbrook teachers told the San Francisco Chronicle that Woke Kindergarten is rooted in progressive politics and activism with anti-police, anti-capitalism and anti-Israel messages
