Over the past half-decade, millions of parents have learned the hard way that when ideologically driven, unresponsive officials control public schools, their children are the ones who suffer. As former President Joe Biden’s administration began flooding America’s schools with $1 billion for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs based on critical race theory, parents across the country were shocked to learn that educators were profiling their children by race.

Instead of places of learning, classrooms became incubators of divisiveness. Teachers underwent indoctrination in DEI and CRT. Librarians filled shelves with new reading materials bearing the DEI and CRT stamps of approval. Students from “oppressor” races and ethnicities were pressured into becoming DEI and CRT “allies,” taught to condemn their history, society, and even parents who refused to accept the new ideology. The alternative was ostracism.
