Findings are likely to be “underestimated”: record
In accordance with a new report, school districts across the nation have spent more than$ 9 million in federal tax dollars on “diversity, equity, and inclusion” and “restorative justice” programs for K-12 students over the past few years.
According to the Defending Education analysis, in one instance, an Illinois college neighborhood spent$ 55,000 on “professional development rooted in Critical Race Theory.” The grass movement aims to end open education institutions ‘ activism and education.
According to the research, “57 school districts have contracted with agencies and professionals for far-left programming over the past few years” using more than$ 9 million in federal money.
According to Defending Education, DEI, “equitable marking practices, race and sex-based development, therapeutic practices/restorative justice,” and “other far-left ideologies” are just a few examples.
The report will be updated as more details are discovered, and the organization noted that the$ 9 million figure is likely to be “underestimated.”

The funds are intended to support schools with large pupil ratios from low-income people, many of which have been made available through Title I and Title II of the Every Student Succeeds Act.
Despite the funds ‘ intentions, they frequently have been used for activities like cultural equity consulting, training teachers to use equity, and another DEI initiatives.

School districts across the nation have spent almost$ 20 million in federal money on companies and professionals promoting liberal philosophy in K-12 training, according to Defending Education investigative writer Kendall Tietz.
Tietz claimed that the new document also demonstrates that “far-Left” training software is a “lucrative” services.
