Or maybe they cannot handle you actually knowing the truth. While this has been going on for some time with Three Pee Uh-Oh, where governments outsource transparency, it has now happened with schools who have been pursuing woke CRT indoctrination. That's right. They've outsourced the very thing they are supposed to be experts in, curriculum development and education, to commercial third parties and now they hide behind an NDA because they refuse to take responsibility for their failures.
But this may be the Education Industrial Complex's Operation Market Garden. With CRT bouncing around in the LibLabs of Ivory Tower Academia for over forty years it was only a matter of time before there was a Lab Leak. And it couldn't have happened at a better time with society reeling from the one-two punch of a fascist cancel culture and radical woke-ism. The Ivories had been creating a compliant, receptive host throughout education but now was the time to inject their lab-created virus.
Or was it?
The other epidemic, CoVid-19, exposed parents to exactly what and how their children were being taught as the classroom was zoomed into their dens. And they were not happy. Many fled. Many will never return. But everyone is on high alert. Parents are hungry for answers; starving for transparency. This is particularly true when confronted with the reality that their schools long ago pivoted from education to indoctrination.
But this is different. This is not the now-universal fiduciary incompetence or easily dismissed, or avoided, silliness infusing the school day. This is cultural genocide targeting their children awakening a horde of Tiger Parents. Angry parents who will not be deterred by an NDA, who see no defense for this indefensible assault on their children. Angry parents who will not be satisfied with transparency but who will demand accountability and fidelity to the original mission of education.
Parents may not be woke enough for the radical left but they have awakened. They will work through the opacity of the NDA by first demanding a copy of the NDA itself and then every communication between school bureaucrats and outside organizations force feeding their children this racist indoctrination. Teachers and administrators will be ousted. Board members will be recalled and replaced. Demands for transparency will be incessant and scrutiny will remain intense. But trust will never be rebuilt without fundamental, permanent changes and if it isn't, the extreme left may see their most powerful platform, public schools, fall victim to a vigorous defund movement.
