School District’s ‘Anti-Racism’ Teaching Starts In Kindergarten, Documents Show

Maryland’s largest school district is promoting a so-called “anti-racism” curriculum for kids focused on “white supremacy” and racial and gender identity, according to internal documents.

Newly revealed training materials from Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) detail the “Characteristics of Anti-bias/Antiracist Curriculum” and instruct teachers to focus on topics of injustice, racism, oppression, implicit biases and inequity, parental rights watchdog Defending Education (DE) shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The documents were originally discovered by parent group United Against Racism in Education.

The curriculum was reportedly discussed at a PTA meeting on Jan. 20, 2026, according to DE.

“Schools should be the place where students can analyze the forces which maintain injustice and develop the knowledge, hope and strategies needed to create a more just society for all,” the “Culturally Responsive & Antiracist Teaching Framework for Social Studies” document states as a teacher’s desired classroom outcome, citing anti-racist writer and consultant Enid Lee.

Classes should focus on examining “systems of power and oppression created by white supremacy” and challenge the “Master Narrative, which is a focus on white, Eurocentric versions of history,” the documents state, according to DE. Content is meant to “critically examine resistance to and liberation from white supremacy” and center “the stories and resistance of communities of color and tribal sovereignties.” (Read more from “School District’s ‘Anti-Racism’ Teaching Starts In Kindergarten, Documents Show” HERE)
