Lesson plans for California K-12 schools are riddled with anti-racism language, and even compare the January 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol to Ku Klux Klan demonstrations.
The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) created “The History & Civics Project” to offer “high quality history and civics education” resources and lesson plans to teachers at K-12 schools across the state. However, a recent investigation by Defending Education (DE) shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation reveals the lessons focus heavily on race and racial identity, “anti-Blackness,” and anti-racism frameworks.
The materials also repeatedly reference the January 6 Capitol attack across multiple lessons and grade levels, using the event as a point of comparison in many different historical contexts.
