What's At Stake, Elmbrook
We are grateful for continued media coverage of the issues the community has been bringing to light in Elmbrook. Excerpts from this 3/29/22 article are below:
"Elmbrook parents have had to fight schools for a hyper-sexualized curriculum. Students there have been given access to instruction on how to use sex apps, along with explicit illustrations, as well as sex surveys, asking about the number of sexual partners and substance use during sex. The district has failed to keep in place filters for explicit material on iPads, allowing Kindergarteners access to explicit materials.
[...]
The district is pursuing an agenda to shift to a CRT curriculum that 'prioritizes marginalized communities’ and 'de-centers whiteness.’ The Superintendent of course assured parents that CRT was not being taught in the district despite direct evidence that it was. When these Equity Principles – a plan to treat students differently based on their race – met with opposition, teachers were told that the district would rename the plan and move forward."
