PragerU CEO Warns 'Adultism' in 22 States' Ethnic Studies Undermines Parental Authority

Summary
Marissa Streit said teacher-training programs are recasting "adultism" as oppression, turning routine parental limits on clothing, sex and medical decisions into alleged abuses of power.
A teacher manual she highlighted — "Lessons in Liberation" — promotes abolitionist and anti-capitalist ideas, she said, arguing ethnic studies repackages DEI, social-emotional learning and CRT under a new label.
San Francisco ethnic studies workshops have already drawn controversy over materials describing student-educator relationships as inherently oppressive, echoing the broader spread Streit says now reaches more than 22 states.
Streit tied the trend to fights over parental-notification rules in gender-transition cases, noting major teachers' unions oppose "forced outing" policies and framing the curriculum push as part of a wider socialist political project.
