How "woke" math threatens our schools - from Real Clear Investigations | Eastern NC Now

The "woke" far left ideologues who push DEI, CRT, radical gender ideology, ESG, and similar "woke" garbage have long targeted K-12 education.  Liberal textbook companies have been eaten up with it, as have the radical teachers unions.  Some states like Florida and Texas have been fighting back to keep this political propaganda out of the curriculum, but not North Carolina.

Woke dogma even finds its way into math textbooks.  Florida rejected the math textbooks of the liberal Savvas textbook company finding their math curriculum loaded with DEI and CRT.  Here in Beaufort County, the school board on a 7 to 2 vote adopted the Bridges math curriculum which contains DEI and even worse is based on the Common Core concept that has failed students around the country.

Now Real Clear Investigations has published an excellent article on the far left's distortion of math education in grades K-12:

When conservatives on the Beaufort County School Board objected to the Bridges math curriculum due to its DEI content, they were given the same canned excuse used by the liberal foundation in the article from Real Clear Investigations.
