Sweet. Unsourced claims in a magazine published by the Manhattan Institute. Well I'm convinced. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Manhattan_Instit...
Because I know for a fact this ideology is being pushed hard right now, as ridiculous as it is.
I've encountered this sort of ideology before in education. My plan is to send my children to Chinese public schools in Shanghai. They will live with relatives. They will obtain a better education, better peers, with none of this article's indoctrination at a cheaper cost. I will not risk my (white) children believing they are inferior to anyone else in academics. I do not trust the American education system to bring…
While i have heard people issue the sentiment of this article, its hard to take anyone seriously when they use the term "woke". The word is only ever used in a derogatory manner, which is a give-away that the author has clear bias and agenda (as opposed to reporting on the parents and opinions themselves).
Not that it matters to anyone here, but "woke" is def not a class-marker.

Are you saying that, if what was reported is true, you would find it disturbing? Or are you saying, the source itself is suspect, so you can't believe it? Because I know for a fact this ideology is being pushed hard right now, as ridiculous as it is.
Without some sort of verifiable information it is difficult to determine if those arguments are valid. However, as the saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

And yet you have ironically failed to furnish evidence. OP rightly observes that the article is riddled with anonymous hearsay, and published by a tax exempt lobbying group. For those who choose to read comments first, here's a taste of what you have to look forward to in the article:
"says one of the fathers(...)'What he has a problem with is a movement that tells his children that America is a bad country and that they bear collective racial guilt. They are making my son feel like a racist because of the pigmentation of his skin' one mother says."

If "woke" is verboten, please suggest an alternate word for this groupthink phenomena which is aping all the worst aspects of Catholicism (catechisms, original sin, inquisitions, etc.)?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is the ideology of the Manhattan Institute your problem? Because there are endless left-wing tax exempt "lobbying" groups (aka any nonprofit in America that tries to advocate for policy change), so I'm not sure what groups you can possibly trust given your criteria.
