It did not return a request for comment on whether it was involved with the march.<\/p>\n<p>According to tax records, the Black Girl Freedom Fund is sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers and funded by billionaires including the the Marguerite Casey Foundation, real estate developer John Picerne\u2019s foundation, the Estee Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation, the Raikes Foundation \u2014 led by the former CEO of the Gates Foundation \u2014 and the Foundation for a Just Society, which says it is dedicated to \u201cthe liberation of women, girls, and LGBTQI people.\u201d Women and gays are subject to severe oppression under Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>In D.C. where the protest is being planned, only 23% of eighth graders are proficient in reading, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationsreportcard.gov\/highlights\/geography\/2018\/\">Nation\u2019s Report Card<\/a>. That test last evaluated geography in 2018, finding that only 25% of eighth graders in the United States were proficient in geography, and 10% couldn\u2019t even remember if they learned geography in school.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Nester, an investigative fellow for Parents Defending Education, said children are \u201cencouraged to be mindless, hateful activists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s bad enough that the protest\u2019s organizers are encouraging students to forgo vital classroom time for a political demonstration, especially while proficiency rates in D.C. schools remain abysmal,\u201d Nester said. \u201cWhat\u2019s far worse is the fact that the protest organizers ignore critical facts about the conflict and instead encourage kids to blame and hate Israel. Nowhere does it acknowledge that Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis on October 7, or that Hamas leaders have repeatedly denied Israel\u2019s offers for a ceasefire. Instead, kids are encouraged to be mindless, hateful activists, and that is shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socialist agitators are mobilizing children to boycott school on May 24 for a &#8220;School Strike for Gaza.&#8221; The Daily Wire reports materials reveal militant teachers pushing politicized school students near Washington, D.C. to rally at the White House<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":2250528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/05\/school-strike.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2250527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/05\/school-strike.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2250527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2250527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2250527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2250528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2250527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2250527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2250527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
