'They're Teaching Children to Hate America': The Culture War Dividing US Schools

Hofstra Cultural Center and the Office of Intercultural Engagement and Inclusion present

Documentary Viewing and Discussion: 'They're Teaching Children to Hate America': The Culture War Dividing US Schools

by Amudalat Ajasa, Class of 2022

Join us in the close of Women’s History Month with a documentary viewing and discussion showing the fight in America's school boards by our own Hofstra student, Amudalat Ajasa. The documentary looks particularly at the town of Carmel, Indiana, and their struggle over the introduction of diversity, equity and inclusion in the classrooms. A battle has erupted over those that welcome the changes and others that view it as "leftist indoctrination of their children," or the introduction of critical race theory in schools.

Facilitated by: Amudalat Ajasa
