Thatās the gist of a new project launched by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, who has created a portal called āEyes on Educationā that encourages members of the public to tattle on teachers they believe are pushing so-called āwokeā content on kids.
Eyes on Education enables self-styled whistleblowers to submit evidence to the state of āobjectionable curricula, policies, or programs.ā And the site presents a selection of such content, organized by school district.
The new state website asserts it is non-partisan, claiming to be interested in rooting out āpolitical ideology ā either left or right.ā But when he announced the launch of the portal earlier this month, Rokita made the bias of the project clear, insisting Eyes on Education exists to expose āexamples of socialist indoctrinationā in the classroom ā and seeks to highlight ādestructiveā teaching practices that ādivide kids from their parentsā and from what Rokita deems ānormal society.ā
This includes screen grabs from YouTube transcripts where a superintendent mentions the words āblack lives matterā or references ādiversity and inclusion.ā The supposedly objectionable material includes a screenshot of a social media post by Martin Luther King Jr.ās daughter Bernice, in which she writes: āThere is no form of protest against racism or method of teaching about racism that will be palatable to racists.ā (The word āracistsā has been highlighted.)
One document posted to the site and reviewed by Rolling Stone contains personally identifying details of instructors, including email address and phone numbers, effectively doxing these professionals, and opening them up to public harassment.
The open letter calls Eyes on Education a violation of teacher privacy that engages in the āintentional act of doxing.ā And it accuses Rokita of pushing āmanufactured outrageā to target a profession that is being āincessantly denigratedā by the state government.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
