The cultural and political rot at the Department of Education runs deep.
According to material shared by the conservative anti-DEI activist Christopher Rufo, the department funded a teacher training program implying that babies develop racist traits from the age of just three.
In online training session shared by Rufo, the instructor explained the issue of “Racial Awareness in the Early Years.”
Her training is supported by a PowerPoint that states:
AT 3 MONTHS — Infants who are shown pictures of faces can visually categorize them by race. They often show a preference for faces reflecting the race they see most often, which is typically their own race.
AT 9 MONTHS — Infants are unable to distinguish the facial features of people from racial groups other than their own unless they frequently see books and images featuring racially diverse people.
AT 2 YEARS —Children make strong associations between racial features and human behavior, and begin to use racial categories to understand behavior. Children are observing and internalizing power dynamics among children and adults.
AT 3 YEARS — Children of all races demonstrate social biases primarily by attributing positive traits to the dominant (white) race. Children can respond to positive messaging about their own and others racial identities.
AT 5 YEARS —-Children of all races demonstrate social biases primarily by attributing negative traits to non-dominant (non-white) races. Children are capable of recognizing and acting against racial injustice.

Rufo, an influential activist who has successfully shut down many DEI programs, said it was evidence that the Department of Education needs to be shut down.
“The Department of Education funds left-wing activists who push the idea that babies are racist, kids should do ‘sex work,’ and America is a ‘concentration camp,’” he wrote.
“Enough. The department needs to be razed to the ground.”

Last month, Trump confirmed his intention to eliminate the department entirely and have return the management of education back to the states.
