Critical race theory. Drag-queen story hour. State-wide “liberated ethnic studies” requirements. Powerful forces are coming for California’s kids. Who’s behind this and to what end? Luke Rosiak, the investigative journalist who elevated school corruption to national news with his groundbreaking reporting on Loudoun County, Virginia, explains what you need to know and what you can do about it -- whether or not you have school-aged kids of your own. He shows how far-left special interests have formed an alliance of convenience with self-interested bureaucrats who hide behind social-justice language to hide the real story: That educators have abysmally failed to make our kids proficient in math, science, and writing. He illuminates the end goal of educational “equity,” and why it poses a particular threat to those who value innovation, merit, and prosperity.
