WTW40: The Woke Kindergarten Fallout - School Board Members Gone Wild

It's Part 2 of our research into the Woke Kindergarten controversy! Lydia gives us more detail as to the repercussions of the firestorm that we broke down in Part 1. We visit the scene of the crime, Hayward Unified, and spend some time with their school board and perhaps one of the worst Board Members WTW has covered so far. And - are some entities weaponizing this news to further their own agenda?   Goldwater Institute's Academic Transparency Act (PDF) Hayward Unified's Equity & Antiracism Board Policy   Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
