Is this the problem plaguing our schools? 8th graders in Houston can’t read and 12th graders can’t do algebra. My son moved to Denver and my daughter is either moving to the suburbs or leaving because neither of them want their kids in private school (I hate private schools, I passed on that ethos)
HISD was dog shit prior to this movement towards activist education, and I’m not sure any of the new emphasis changed anything other than masking prior failures

Obviously those are problems, but I'd honestly lay that at the feet of parents. I went to public school, my teachers weren't particularly brilliant they were just reading from a syllabus and some kids did well and other kids didn't. I did well, and I credit my parents for making sure my ass went to school and didn't fail all my classes.
That's a totally separate issue though. What *didn't* happen when I was in public school was any lesson that pits the black kids in the class and the white kids in the class against eachother, with leftist racial essentialism that they hardly understand, and absolutely no opposing perspective offered to any of these ideas. They aren't just "teaching history", nobody would have a problem if that's all it was.
So yes, I think kids failing math and kids being indoctrinated during their most formative years to believe things about themselves or their peers based on skin color is disgusting racist trash and they are both serious problems.
