A San Francisco Bay-area school has cut ties with 'Woke Kindergarten' after nationwide backlash against the program's curriculum and its founder's statements. Glassbrook Elementary spent $250,000 in federal funds meant to help boost test scores for some of the country’s lowest-performing schools on the program, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, but after two years with Woke Kindergarten, students’ scores are reportedly worse.
Bazeley said HUSD had become aware of certain 'statements by Woke Kindergarten staff,' and, 'Although we respect freedom of speech and the right for individuals to hold a variety of political views, the social media and other public statements of the vendor do not align with the values of the district and those of many of our community members.' 'The personal political and social views are separate from the work Woke Kindergarten did with us,' Bazeley said.
We will continue to support Glassbrook Elementary School as its teachers, staff and administrators proceed with the work of supporting the students and families in the school community,' Bazeley said. 'Anti-bias/Anti-racist teaching, restorative practices, multi-language learning, literacy and mathematics will remain a focus for Glassbrook, building on the work that school has undertaken over the past several years.
On Thursday, a Glassbrook Elementary teacher, who publicly criticized his school district's investment in 'Woke Kindergarten,' reported he had been placed on administrative leave over 'allegations of unprofessional conduct.' Bazeley told Fox News Digital at the time, 'We don't comment on private personnel matters,' but denied the teacher was put on leave for 'retaliatory purposes' or that he was being punished for speaking to the press.
