‘Woke kindergarten’ activist teaches MLK’s relationship with climate change at NYC museum

New York City’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) reportedly hired an extremely “woke” kindergarten teacher to lead a kids’ workshop about Martin Luther King Jr. and climate change.

Akiea “Ki” Gross is her name, and she’s a non-binary, pro-gay, and pro-transgender activist who hates the police. She hates the police so much that in 2020 she published a children’s video on YouTube in which she said, “I feel safe when there are no police.”

Watch:

“Gross has also called for police to be defunded and abolished, condemned capitalism, said the government should ‘free them all’ [inmates] from prisons and accused the former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang of supporting genocide,” Fox News notes.

She’s a full-fledged, pro-criminal leftist, but one with undue influence.

According to MoMa’s website, Gross led a kids-oriented workshop on Jan. 13th centered around MLK and climate change.

The activities for the workshop included learning “about MLK’s relationship to climate justice” and donating “winter clothing and shoes to … newly arrived migrants and asylum seekers.”

Besides brainwashing children at museums, Gross also runs an Instagram account called “Woke Kindergarten” in which she posts a “woke word of the day” designed to teach children the “language of the resistance.”

One recently uploaded post defines the word ceasefire by dissing Israel.

“One place that people are demanding a permanent ceasefire for is in Palestine because they are being occupied, or controlled, by a made up place called Israel that has settlers called Zionist who are harming and killing the Palestinian people who have always live on the land,” the defamatory post reads.

Gross last made headlines in 2021 when her “I feel safe when there are no police” video was shared by a Virginia school district on their website.

“The website suggested following accounts on social media called ‘Woke Kindergarten’ and ‘No White Saviors’, as well as individual personal accounts which contain photographs and information which many parents considered too sensitive to be suggested for elementary school teachers to implement in the classroom,” the Fairfax Times reported.

“The information and links on the website have [since] since been removed from public view, with the Bailey’s Elementary website now containing information about no-cost summer meals, in-person classes, virtual mental wellness appointments, broadband benefit and vaccination information,” the reporting continued.

Though the school removed the links, the backlash was still severe.

“I was shocked by what I saw on the Bailey’s Elementary School website. Fairfax County Public Schools needs parental supervision,” Asra Nomani, a parent and activist, said at the time.

“They continue to fail students and families by wasting valuable resources, staff time and energy on the politics of indoctrination, rather than education. It just took me a few minutes to find FCPS promoting on an elementary school website the work of the divisive Abolitionist Teaching Network and also the R-rated social media feeds of a ‘sex educator’ and sexuality activists,” she added.

As noted earlier, Gross is also pro-transgender. Indeed, in one of the videos she’s made, she claims there are “many different pronouns” and that one boy, Diego, “likes to be called tree.”

That’s right, according to this rabid leftist, “tree” is a perfectly sensical gender pronoun to use for a boy …

She’s also an abolitionist, though it’s not clear what the hell she’s trying to abolish, given as slavery ended hundreds of years ago.

“Ki (they/them) is an abolitionist early educator, coach, consultant and creative entrepreneur currently innovating ways to unlearn, heal, liberate and create with their pedagogy,” her Woke Kindergarten website reportedly says.

According to Reckon magazine, Gross got involved in education in 2008, left in 2018 to “focus on supporting independent Black women artists in the music industry,” and then returned after the violent Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.

“They [she] began building [an] online portal, developing tools for parents and teachers to discuss carceral violence, colonialism and anti-capitalism with kids in ways that helped the little people make sense of the world and its power dynamics,” the magazine notes.

“Gross went on to refine a toolkit including culturally relevant texts, critical thinking prompts and frameworks borrowed from poets and abolitionist scholars. They worked with schools and community organizations to offer these lessons to students and offered training on how to use these tools at home.”
