This is indoctrination. There is no other reason to involve young kids in this.

‘Power Rainbow’ by Harvard grad students teaches 3rd graders about systemic oppressionTwo Harvard University graduate students developed a “Power Rainbow” tool to teach elementary schoolers about systemic oppression, including one who was the recipient of a publicly-funded scholarship that recently came under Congressional scrutiny.Anna Deloia, who has since graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Hania Mariën, a doctorate student, published the “Power Rainbow” in 2023 to help third- to fifth-grade children “make sense of power and how it shapes our lives and societies,” according to the school’s website.The curriculum tool is designed to shift children’s thinking away “from an individual or interpersonal perspective on injustice.” Instead, it teaches them “a more accurate, structural analysis informed by how power operates at different levels of society (e.g., individual unfair actions are influenced by institutions, laws, and cultural norms),” the webpage states.Deloia was a 2017 recipient of the Truman Scholarship, the subject of a recent Congressional hearing. A series of analyses by The College Fix found that the scholarship is overwhelmingly granted to left-leaning students, and, in some years, no recipients were openly on the right politically.Overseen by U.S. Congress and funded by taxpayers, the $30,000 scholarship is awarded to around 50 students annually. Awardees promise to spend three of their first seven years after finishing graduate school in public service.Adam Kissel, a visiting fellow in the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Higher Education Policy, told The College Fix in an email last week that Deloia “appears to be the kind of progressive ‘change agent’ the Truman Foundation privileges in its materials.”“If the Foundation refuses to remove such biases from the program, Congress should find a better way to honor President Truman’s legacy,” he said.
