Controversial teacher training targets parental authority as oppression, education expert warns

Teacher training programs across the country are adopting radical new educational theories to undermine parental authority and drive a wedge between parents and children, PragerU CEO Marissa Streit warned in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Streit is raising concerns over the rapid spread of the “ethnic studies” curriculum, which she says is being implemented or endorsed in more than 22 states across the nation. She specifically cited the controversial term “adultism,” saying it paints standard parental boundaries as a form of oppression.

While the term “adultism” historically originated in sociology to describe age discrimination against children, Streit argued it has found new life in teacher training materials and is being used to portray standard parenting rules on clothing, relationships or major medical decisions as a form of “fascism” or tyranny.

Streit displayed a teacher training manual titled, “Lessons In Liberation: An Abolitionist Toolkit for Educators,” which she says promotes anti-capitalism, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and the rejection of adult authority.

The textbook’s publisher, AK Press, says the book is “designed for educators, parents, and young people, this toolkit shines a light on innovative abolitionist projects, particularly in Pre-K–12 learning contexts.”

However, Streit argues that ethnic studies modules simply repackage concepts like DEI, social-emotional learning, and Critical Race Theory, that have received negative attention, to promote many of their same anti-capitalist and Marxist ideals.
