California School District Works to ‘Decolonize Education’

{snip}

Sunnyvale School District has worked alongside Quetzal Education Services, (QES) a leftwing education consulting group that advances Critical Race Theory.

QES describes itself as a “Queer, Black, and Indigenous women-led education consulting firm” that exists to guide schools as they “make cultural and policy changes that reflect an antiracist climate, praxis, and pedagogy.”

QES, which is based in Oakland, California, explains one of their goals is “To empower BIPOC communities to decolonize education.”

“We are interested in partnering with educational institutions committed to dismantling oppression and creating new possibilities for liberation in education,” QES states.

QES is even too extreme for the diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE) agenda which they claim centers “whiteness.”

Instead, their website says “We are abolitionists and antiracist practitioners” and argues “Diversity, inclusion, and tolerance fail to provide the empowering education we seek for Black and Brown youth & our communities because those efforts continue to center whiteness.”
