California is finally ending racism. Or something.
For nearly a decade, the state has been molding an Ethnic Studies course that will soon be a graduation requirement. Already, many high school districts across California have been mandating the course for freshmen. Government bureaucrats desperately want your kids to take this course. Parents don’t.
It’s not hard to see why. Ethnic Studies is just one of California’s schemes to use taxpayer dollars to canonize radical leftist identity politics into K-12 education. If that wasn’t inherently obvious, State Senator Jose Medina was kind enough to spell it out. When the initial attempt to require Ethnic Studies in high schools was vetoed in 2020, Medina — the author of the bill — responded by saying it was “a failure to push back against the racial rhetoric and bullying of Donald Trump.”
