Leftists bristle when you accuse them of indoctrination. What would you call this?

California activist group teaches teens to push for ‘racial justice’ with taxpayer funds: Report
A California activist group, Californians for Justice (CFJ), was paid “nearly $2 million to facilitate equity and leadership development training for students and teachers” between 2019 to 2023, per a Free Press report.
The Long Beach Unified School District used taxpayer funds to pay CFJ, The Free Press revealed.
CFJ pushes to teach youth about “racial justice” and is active in San Jose, Oakland, Fresno and Long Beach, according to the organization’s website.
Long Beach Unified School District spokesperson told Fox News Digital that it believed in educating students to value “justice, equity, and inclusion.”
“Californians for Justice (CFJ) assists Long Beach Unified in developing programs at five comprehensive high schools, focusing on creating opportunities for students of color to have a voice in decision-making and experiences at the schools,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson continued, “As a district, we collaborate with all communities, striving to educate students as stewards of justice, equity, and inclusion, celebrating our collective differences. Long Beach Unified values CFJ’s expertise in equity training and professional development for students, fostering an inclusive learning environment. Our practice of providing stipends, referred to as internships, up to $1,400 per student and family ensures equitable participation in CFJ programs, embracing diverse perspectives in education. We address concerns promptly, ensuring educational materials are unbiased.”
The statement also claimed that the school district “prioritizes a safe, inclusive environment for staff, actively addressing instances of discrimination or exclusion.”

Comments
The headline is wrong, the result of careless reading.
The FOX story’s headline is “California activist group teaches teens to push for ‘racial justice’ with taxpayer funds: Report”. Which is slightly ambiguous, but not very, and the body clarifies what ambiguity there is.
Somehow Mike LaChance managed to twist that into “Activist Group in California Teaches Teens to Use Taxpayer Funds to Push for ‘Racial Justice’”. I can only assume he didn’t bother reading the article before writing that headline, and never noticed the contradiction.
As for: “Leftists bristle when you accuse them of indoctrination. What would you call this?”, they call it “education”. If their premise were true, then that’s what it would be. And nothing stops equivalent conservative groups in Republican states from obtaining government grants and using them to educate teenagers in correct principles and ideas.
