The Daily Mail reports that the appropriately named "Non-binary activist Akiea Gross who founded controversial for-profit 'Woke Kindergarten' program that calls to abolish police and Israel now posts online rant saying 'US has no right to exist'." And why is it so hateful? Because its woke kindergarten program doesn't work. Per the article, "Akiea Gross, who goes by Ki and uses they/them pronouns, posted the shocking video after it emerged that the program that they founded has seen literacy and numeracy rates plummet since being implemented in a school in the Bay Area."
'I believe Israel has no right to exist. I believe the United States has no right to exist. I believe every settler colony who has committed genocide against native peoples has no right to exist,' Gross told their followers on the official Woke Kindergarten Instagram page while wearing a keffiyeh.
I'm reading a book on the history of the Comanches who were very much slavers and settlers that committed genocide against the native peoples of the lands they invaded. Does she believe that they have no right to exist either?
The article explains that "Woke Kindergarten's philosophy of 'abolitionist education' aimed at elementary school aged kids centers around the idea that the education system as it is, steeped in racism and other oppressive structures, cannot be reformed." Well, certainly not after it is done with the education system.
The Aptly Named Ms. Gross.
