Told through the testimony of parents and educators at the frontline of a war against those who seek to indoctrinate and corrupt the hearts and minds of young students, Whose Children are They? presents a very relevant and urgent message about an American school system trapped in the grip of idealogues and leftist activists.
It is an issue that has been bubbling to a boil over the last several years: parents pushing back against the lack of choice, lack of information, and lack of respect from an increasingly shady public education system.
Footage from town hall meetings in which outraged parents confronts boards of educators have become frequent and sometimes must watch TV. In a ridiculous yet disturbing turn of events, the Attorney General Merrick Garland equated such school board protests to “domestic terrorism”. It is moments like these, and so many others, that makes Whose Children Are They? such a vital watch.
While Whose Children Are They? is straight forward in its documentary filmmaking, the strength of the film is in its information, presented to the point by an impressive roster of academics and teachers ranging from parent education empowerment advocate Virginia Walden-Ford to award winning journalist Alex Newman.
The voice of parents – desperate, angry, weathered – are also heard. It is their children, and maybe indeed yours, that are caught in the web of progressive activism and a complaisant education system that has damned the American school system into a suffocating woke-scape.
The head voice of Whose Children Are They? is Deborah Flora, the head of Parents United America who is also running as a Republican for the senate seat of Colorado. Flora’s presentation of the facts in Whose Children Are They? is a startling and sombre reminder of how issues such as race, politics, and transgender activism (among many) have become a parasitic force in the lives of students of all ages.
For clear thinking parents and educators everywhere, Whose Children Are They? is a call to action to stand up against this rising tide of progressive activism in the classroom.
