Most pre-school/elementary/middle/high school teachers weren't explicity trained in intersectional feminsm over the past 70 years. Feminism and Critical Race Theory aren't even electives in most Teacher College Curriculums, much less requirements.
The idea that people that aren't taking those courses are being "indoctrinated" is a right wing talking point. Most college kids aren't taking those classes. It's like a couple of purple haired Lesbians per 1,000 students. There just aren't that many people that are die hards for this stuff. Just like the trans people in sports. Like maybe 1 out of 100,000.
The Right is attacking these aberrations, because they're trying to take down the institutions that criticize them.
No, the origin of this hatred, this prejudice... is far worse when it comes to Black Boys.
This hatred of Black Boys, of young Black men CAME BEFORE any of this academic stuff.
That's what a lot of these FD Signifiers types don't want to talk about.
It would mean looking at their mothers, aunties, and grannies very differently.
They might go back through their own background, their own education, and become horrified.
Folks think about their upbringing and realize that a lot of that "love" was misguided, if not intentionally harmful.
With female teachers and young black boys specifically, we know from jump their already biased against pre-schoolers.
They didn't need a fancy academic to feed them something about "the patriarchy" to feel something negative towards these boys.
And that's what makes this problem much deeper than a few bell hooks books on a chick's shelf.
