Do You Really Know What’s Being Taught in Public Schools?

Parents send their children to public school expecting them to be taught the ABCs and 1, 2, 3s. But lately, parents are shocked to see that the fundamentals we grew up with are being replaced with radical political agendas. From imposing anti-American ideals, teaching children that they’re racist, and passing off new theories about gender as reality, schools are crossing the line and are damaging our children. The worst part? As a parent, you’re being kept in the dark and may not even know what is being taught to your own children.

Parents have to ask:
What are public schools really teaching?

Since many schools aren’t being transparent about what is happening in the classroom, it can be hard for parents to discern what their children are learning. What are the lesson plans that guide the class, what books are being taught, who is speaking to our children, what movies are shown? Controversial topics like Critical Race Theory, Marxism, and other politically-charged issues are being pushed on our children without parental knowledge or consent.

Parents can stand up and hold schools accountable for what’s being taught in the classroom. It all starts with exercising their right to ask questions and demand answers. We can come together and refuse to be left in the dark when it comes to our children’s education.

The Goldwater Institute is helping parents like you understand how to approach difficult situations armed with knowledge and confidence.
