                       EXPOSING WOKE KINDERGARTEN

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, at a San Francisco Bay Area school, only 16 
percent of students were reading at grade level and only 8 percent were 
proficient at math.
  The school spent $250,000 in taxpayer money on a group called Woke 
Kindergarten to help boost test scores for some of the country's lowest 
performing schools.
  However, after 2 years with Woke Kindergarten, student scores are 
worse. Now, only 12 percent are reading at grade level and fewer than 4 
percent are proficient in math.
  There is more. The head of Woke Kindergarten is on record wanting ``a 
world free of the U.S. empire''; believing space aliens are oppressed; 
and supporting ``a free Palestine from the river to the sea.''
  A teacher who questioned the program has been put on leave.
  I wish this were made up, but it is real and, sadly, encapsulates so 
much of what is wrong with our education system.
