California School District Starts Three-Year, Six-Figure Plan To Turn Students Into Critical Race Theory Activists

A school district in California’s Bay Area is launching an initiative to train over a hundred students to become Critical Race Theory activists in a plan that could last three years and cost more than $100,000.

Martinez Unified School District (MUSD), located just inland from Berkeley, California, is preparing to train students to become leftwing activists with the help of Lori Watson, the CEO of Oakland-based racial equity consulting firm Race Work, which aims to “interrupt systemic racism” and calls on allies to become “co-conspirators.”

While many equity consultants aim their trainings at teachers and administration with the understanding that it will trickle down to the classroom, Watson targets her agenda at children. Her Student Leaders’ Anti-Racist Movement (SLAM) seeks to “empower and mobilize” students “as catalysts for change through an anti-racist leadership youth movement.”
