In many parts of the country, ideological frameworks are entering K-12 classrooms, undermining academic rigor, creating division, and fueling anti-American and anti-Western viewpoints. This is happening amid a national academic crisis marked by declining test scores, weakened literacy and math performance, and growing concern that schools are losing focus on their core mission: educating students.
Behind these classroom trends are powerful institutions and networks—including state bureaucracies, teachers’ unions, schools of education, and national advocacy organizations—that can shape what schools teach, how educators are trained, and which ideas are elevated or excluded.
A growing number of parents, educators, and policymakers are looking for solutions to help them push back.
WE ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF EXTREMISM AND ANTISEMITISM: We expose and challenge the ideologies, networks, and institutional practices that undermine academic rigor, open inquiry, and a healthy learning environment.
WE EQUIP PARENTS TO TAKE ACTION: We provide practical tools, resources, and strategies to help parents recognize problems, organize locally, engage decision-makers, and advocate effectively.
WE DISRUPT HARMFUL SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS: We combine research, advocacy, and strategic pressure to challenge the people, institutions, and networks that enable extremism and antisemitism to spread.
WE TURN LOCAL ACTION INTO LASTING CHANGE: We connect parents and communities to a national network, elevating local concerns into broader strategy while channeling national expertise and resources back to the local level.
