Leaked emails show a California school district is using critical race theory

Critical race theory — it’s not just for law schools anymore! And as this radical leftist indoctrination program receives more scrutiny, it is becoming evident that it was never exclusively taught in law schools. The latest example involves a school district in Poway, California, a city about 22 miles northeast of San Diego. Leaked emails show that Poway Unified School District is using critical race theory.

The school district’s Equity Advisory Committee recently held a meeting in which there was a presentation about critical race theory. The leaked email was from Shawntanet Jara, the director of equity and improvement for Poway Unified School District. It included a request from one committee member who asked if they could gather outside of school “to discuss the topic of CRT as a follow-up to the presentation.” The email was sent from Jara’s Poway Unified School District email address on Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
