Two thumbs up! Anderson Academy brought in an award-winning children’s musical duo that captivated 150 kindergartners and their teachers with song and dance. Every student was given a teddy bear to dance with. Judging by the pictures in the Press the kids were delighted. 

It appears the Anderson Academy believes in the value of adhering to age appropriate education for these young students — which is as it should be. Young children deserve the best there is which is apparent from the reading the article.

Reading in the Valley Press some days earlier about the Westside School District contemplating the idea of bringing the progressive’s wokeism ideology (which includes sexualizing young children) into our local schools, one can see that this example points to very huge mindset difference between the public sector and the private/charter sector schools. 

Unfortunately, wokeism in schools today is an ugly and disturbing trend. Parents need to be alert and out spoken about this issue. But, after reading the positive article about Anderson Academy school was like a breath of fresh air! There’s still hope.
