That’s the gist of a new project launched by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, who has created a portal called “Eyes on Education” that encourages members of the public to tattle on teachers they believe are pushing so-called “woke” content on kids.
Eyes on Education enables self-styled whistleblowers to submit evidence to the state of “objectionable curricula, policies, or programs.” And the site presents a selection of such content, organized by school district.
The new state website asserts it is non-partisan, claiming to be interested in rooting out “political ideology — either left or right.” But when he announced the launch of the portal earlier this month, Rokita made the bias of the project clear, insisting Eyes on Education exists to expose “examples of socialist indoctrination” in the classroom — and seeks to highlight “destructive” teaching practices that “divide kids from their parents” and from what Rokita deems “normal society.”
This includes screen grabs from YouTube transcripts where a superintendent mentions the words “black lives matter” or references “diversity and inclusion.” The supposedly objectionable material includes a screenshot of a social media post by Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter Bernice, in which she writes: “There is no form of protest against racism or method of teaching about racism that will be palatable to racists.” (The word “racists” has been highlighted.)
One document posted to the site and reviewed by Rolling Stone contains personally identifying details of instructors, including email address and phone numbers, effectively doxing these professionals, and opening them up to public harassment.
The open letter calls Eyes on Education a violation of teacher privacy that engages in the “intentional act of doxing.” And it accuses Rokita of pushing “manufactured outrage” to target a profession that is being “incessantly denigrated” by the state government.
The original article contains 1,157 words, the summary contains 297 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
