Parent organizations are pushing back after learning that Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and others were bankrolling woke education programs.
Over two dozen groups of parents are requesting that five different organizations stop funding social emotional learning (SEL) and race-based education programs in public schools, a report from Fox News explains.
Among the five organizations are the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Both the Wallace Foundation and the Windward Fund are also involved in the funding of the SEL and race-based programs.
Fox News reported that an investigation from Parents Defending Education found that 72 school districts received over $200 million from the five foundations from 2017 and 2021. While most of the money went to Denver Public Schools in Colorado and Battle Creek Public Schools in Michigan, funds also went towards eight other districts in Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, and California.
Fox News pointed out that the Gates Foundation also provided monetary support to “implement equity-focused programming such as equitable grading” through the Denver Public Schools’ Foundation, the Baltimore City Public Schools’ Fund for Educational Excellence, the New York City Department of Education’s Fund for Public Schools Inc, and the Tulare County Office of Education.
The Collaborative for Academic, Social, Emotional Learning also received financial support from several of the foundations. Breitbart News reported that the Allstate Foundation is listed on CASEL’s website as a corporate sponsor. CASEL has endorsed the core tenets of Critical Race Theory.

It is hard to imagine anyone reads anything in the Baltimore schools anyway.
These foundations sound like thinly veiled pedophile
grooming rings.
They sure do.
More exposure is needed to out these leftist moneybags and destroyers of American education.
Nah.. if you are still sending your kids there.. it is by choice. The only solution is to dissolve government education which should have never existed in the first place.
RICO
The vast majority of upper middle class (and up) families have OPTIONS other than sending their kids to public schools. So, if they still send them to those schools, they deserve everything that happens to their kids.
