California schools compare January 6 protesters to Ku Klux Klansmen with Founder and President at USPIE Sheri Few

Controversy is growing over curriculum in some California schools that reportedly draws comparisons between participants in the January 6 Capitol riot and members of the Ku Klux Klan, sparking backlash from parents and education advocates. Sheri Few, Founder and President of United States Parents Involved in Education, says the material reflects a broader concern about political bias in classrooms, arguing that such comparisons are inappropriate and divisive for students. Few is calling for increased transparency in school curricula and greater parental involvement, while supporters of the lessons contend they are meant to provide historical context and encourage critical thinking about extremism and civic responsibility. Even if that is not the case.
