A California elementary school teacher is on leave after he criticized the school's decision to spend $250,000 to train educators on disrupting “whiteness."

Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) has assigned Glassbrook Elementary School educator Tiger Craven-Neeley an excused absence, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The move comes after the teacher spoke to the publication about his outrage over HUSD's contract with "Woke Kindergarten," a program which reportedly contains "woke words of the day" and "unconventional questions rooted in liberatory thought."

Craven-Neeley claims district officials summoned him to a video conference Thursday, ordering him to stay away from his classroom and give the school his keys and laptop for “unprofessional conduct.”

“It’s like a bitter paid vacation on taxpayer dollars,” he told the San Francisco Chronicle. “They are totally not taking the students into consideration.”
