‘Woke weaning’ is coming to a school near you—and parents are too scared to question it

Certain US schools are taking the sledgehammer approach to race and equality, and teachers and parents are too afraid to speak up against it

Imagine your little boy coming home from school and announcing that he is “bad” because he is white, “and that makes him racist and an oppressor”. Imagine a school where white teachers are told, as part of their strident Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) programme, that they have been guilty of “spirit-murdering” black children, a school where traditional “white” texts such as To Kill A Mockingbird and Little Women have been banned, in favour of literature with titles such as Racism, Antiracism And You, and Yaqui Delgado Wants To Kick Your A—.

Imagine a world in which “woke weaning” is the dominant educational ideology – one you, as a parent, are too scared to question.
