Our K-12 schools are organized more like a swim meet focused on recording student placement results rather than a swim lesson devoted to student learning.

Education}

A form of reverse racism is not only dominating the national conversation but is now a bedrock of teacher training and student academics.

Extreme ideologies are quickly taking root in U.S. K-12 public schools through new school policies, practices, and curriculums — with devastating effects on students.
