The UCSC program was created to provide \u201chigh quality history and civics education\u201d resources for teachers statewide, but DE\u2019s inquiry claims the lessons heavily center on race, anti-Blackness, and critical theory frameworks, with the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack used repeatedly as a comparison across multiple grades and contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Key points raised by the investigation include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The curriculum is said to guide students to interrogate and re-imagine historical representations, a stance rooted in critical theory, and to introduce sections like \u201cHistoricizing Race &#038; Whiteness\u201d to build anti-racist classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Several materials reference the January 6 insurrection as a touchstone in various historical discussions, including documents and activities that frame the event with terms such as mob, insurrection, terrorism, and coup, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >incorporate left-leaning social media posts<\/a> from that period.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Other components discuss activism (e.g., Black Lives Matter) and link to readings such as the 1619 Project and Ta-Nehisi Coates\u2019s The Case for Reparations, presenting a outlook on racial justice movements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Examples from the reports include a lesson that compares Jan. 6 to Reconstruction-era white backlash, contextualized with the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898 and imagery of Klan members, as well as prompts that align Capitol Hill events with hero narratives or WWII comparisons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Critics, including Paul Runko of DE, accuse UCSC of indoctrinating students rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-judge-stops-most-of-iowa-book-ban-law-from-taking-effect\/\" title=\"Federal judge blocks Iowa book ban law from being implemented\">fostering open debate<\/a>, urging parents to be aware of perceived partisan biases in the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The article notes that at least one California district, north Monterey County Unified, contracted with UCSC for this program, paying about $23,200 for 2024-2025.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The piece is published by the DCNF and includes their framing and commentary, along with Disclaimers about licensing and sourcing.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the report portrays UCSC\u2019s history &#038; Civics Project as a program that many critics view as advancing a particular interpretation of race and U.S. history, using contemporary events like January 6 as evaluative anchors, while defenders frame it as rigorous, critical historical inquiry.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Lesson plans for California K-12 schools are riddled with anti-racism language, and even compare the January 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol to Ku Klux Klan demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/historyandcivicsproject.sites.ucsc.edu\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">created<\/a> &ldquo;The History &amp;

The project was created to provide high-quality history and civics resources to teachers across California, but Defending Education, in an exclusive with the Daily Caller News Foundation, says the materials focus on race, racial identity, anti-Blackness, and anti-racist frameworks, with the January 6 event referenced repeatedly as a point of discussion in multiple grades. The curriculum is described as aiming to \u201cengage students\u201d in examining and reimagining historical representations, a approach grounded in critical theory.<\/p>\n<p>Sections of the material cover topics such as \u201cHistoricizing Race and Whiteness\u201d to foster anti-racist classrooms, and a section on \u201cRacial Injustice\u201d that includes activism in Black Lives Matter protests and directs teachers to readings like the New York Times Magazine\u2019s 1619 Project, Ta-Nehisi Coates\u2019s \u201cThe Case for Reparations,\u201d and essays such as \u201cBeyond \u2018White Fragility.\u2019\u201d Another section is titled \u201cTeaching the January 6, 2021 Insurrection on Capitol Hill,\u201d offering prompts (for example, a list of words to \u201cmake sense\u201d of Jan. 6: mob, sedition, terrorism, insurrection, or coup) and linking to headlines and social media posts from the time that emphasize concerns about democracy being under attack. Some left-leaning posts are included, such as statements from Rep. Ilhan Omar about democracy and impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>The project also features activities like a kindergarten prompt paired with a lesson on \u201cHeroes in American History\u201d that compares Capitol police on Jan. 6 to a World War II naval hero. A Berkeley High School lesson asks students to compare and contrast how Jan. 6 reveals continuities and contradictions in U.S. history, including tweets that frame the day as white backlash against Black people and as a threatened democracy. Another exercise, \u201cContextualizing the Insurrection,\u201d includes a photo of Ku Klux Klan members near the Capitol and suggests that comparing a KKK demonstration to Jan. 6 can provide classroom context while prompting questions about both events.<\/p>\n<p>Critics, including Paul Runko of Defending Education, argue that the project teaches students what to think rather than how to think, calling for real debate and less ideological guidance in schools. They contend that with math and reading scores at historic lows, elementary school time should not be consumed by partisan or revisionist history. A California district, North Monterey County Unified, has partnered with UCSC to adopt the ethnic studies curriculum, paying UCSC $23,200 for 2024-2025.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is produced by the Daily Caller News Foundation, which notes its content is available for republication with proper attribution and licensing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2587003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Featured-Image-870.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4045,4040,5152,73502,17269],"class_list":["post-2587002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-california","tag-curriculum","tag-education","tag-january-6-2","tag-kkk"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Michael-Featured-Image-870.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2587002","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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2587002"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2587002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2587006,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2587002\/revisions\/2587006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2587003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2587002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2587002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2587002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
