The Californians for Equal Rights Foundation filed a civil rights complaint in February against a California school district known for implementing a “Woke Kindergarten” program. The complaint alleged that Hayward Unified School District retaliated against a whistleblower who criticized the district for spending federal funds on left-wing indoctrination programs instead of programs meant to improve student academic performance, as many students are not proficient in reading or math. 

“Three courageous and fed-up HUSD employees had contacted CFER for support and given us all the training materials,” CFER said. “To help defend their constitutional rights to equal protection and free speech while protecting the whistleblowers’ anonymity in fears of personal retributions, CFER has filed a civil rights complaint on behalf of them against the HUSD with the Alameda County Office of Education and the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.”
