That’s the real equity crisis—and we’re fighting it.
In just two states—California and Minnesota—school districts have spent over $33 million on race and sex-based programs since 2016.
One organization alone, Improve Your Tomorrow, has received $30 million—including over $10 million in federal funds from AmeriCorps—to run “young men of color” initiatives.
These contracts often include access to student data: race, test scores, even Individual Education Plans.
But what about every other student?
What about academic achievement?
What about education—not indoctrination?
This is a betrayal to our children—and it’s happening in school districts across the country.
At Defending Education, we’re not just watching this happen—we’re doing something about it – and with your help.
With your support, we are:
- 🕵️♀️ Investigating how schools are spending your tax dollars
- 📢 Exposing contracts that push political agendas over academics
- ⚖️ Holding school districts accountable in the media, in public, and in court
- 📚 Fighting for real education—books, not bias.
Every dollar helps us dig deeper, speak louder, and fight harder.
Whether it’s $35, $50, or $100—your gift fuels the fight for healthy, nonpolitical education.
Thank you for making your generous, tax-deductible gift to stand with Defending Education today.
