Charles Fain Lehman chronicled in The Washington Free Beacon how school districts and private schools around the country are adopting woke, “anti-racist” policies based on critical theory ideologies once ensconced in the ivory tower.

Schools are adding the Pulitzer Prize-winning but factually challenged 1619 Project, to their curriculum. The 1619 Project was aimed at reframing American history as being rooted in slavery rather than the ideas of liberty from 1776.

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Los Angeles’ elite Harvard-Westlake School recently announced that it will start teaching 11th-grade history from a “critical race theory perspective.”

Virginia’s Fairfax County public school district paid Ibram X. Kendi, the leading proponent of “anti-racism,” whichseems a lot like racism in the name of social justice, $22,000 to deliver an hourlong lecture to teachers and staff.

Lehman continues:
Meanwhile, the tony Connecticut boarding school Loomis-Chaffee has introduced mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training for students and now requires faculty members to read Kendi’s ‘Stamped from the Beginning’ and [Robin] DiAngelo’s ‘White Fragility’ for ‘professional development.’
