Meet The Seattle Schools Woke Indoctrination Czar Who Transitioned From a Whitebread Suburban Mom Into a Fierce "Xicana, Chingona, Pissed Off" Latinx Womxn of Color
Who Also, Oh Yeah, Married a Child Molester and Brought Her Daughter Into His Home

So definitely put your kids into government schools, where these toxic, fucked-up, deranged psychopaths can fill your children with their disease.

Incredible expose by Luke Rosiak at the Daily Wire.

At the forefront of Seattle Public Schools' (SPS) initiatives was Tracy Castro-Gill, until recently its director of ethnic studies, who represented herself as a fierce Chicana who overcame homelessness and was willing to take on racism no matter who she had to battle, turning schools into vehicles for social change.

Castro-Gill, it turned out, was a perennially unhappy toxic liar, one who misrepresented her background to the point that her own father compared her to Rachel Dolezal, and who was ultimately pushed out of her job for repeated misconduct. A focus on racial oppression did not create resiliency, but rather despondency, with Castro-Gill and three other racial justice leaders going on paid leave from SPS for mental health issues in 2019 alone.

As Castro-Gill used children for politics in the workplace, her personal life also raised questions about the costs that can incur. She married a convicted child molester and moved her young daughter in with him. Then, her previous ex-husband told me, she pressured her child, who had serious mental impairments, to become gender-nonbinary.

This is from Roziak's new book, Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education, coming out March 8.

In June 1997, a 36-year-old child molester named Brian Gill was released from a Washington state prison after serving time for repeatedly abusing his eight-year-old cousin. Gill spent his days immersed in a computer game called Second Life, where players create idealized images of themselves and interact with others' false personas. There, he met a woman named Tracy, who was fourteen years his junior. Tracy's avatar became the "submissive" to Brian's "dominant" in violence-tinged online sex games.

In real life, Tracy Hammond was a classic California housewife, a stay-at-home mother of three whose husband provided for her. She and her husband Ron, a handyman, had been high school sweethearts. One night at 3 a.m., Ron woke up and found her sitting in front of her computer, entranced by the game. "You're the only man that ever earned my respect," he watched her type to Brian. Soon after, Tracy told Ron she was going to Vegas for the weekend with a girlfriend. Then that friend called Ron looking for her. By Monday, Ron filed for divorce.

Tracy wanted to take their four-year-old daughter and move to Seattle to live with Brian. The judge overseeing the custody case barred the girl's move and ordered that the minor have no contact with the sex offender. Tracy said she was going anyway; she would leave her only daughter behind.

In Seattle in 2013, Tracy received a master's degree in education and became a substitute teacher. She increasingly inhabited a Second Life-style parallel universe. The Seattle area is one of the most progressive and wealthiest in America, but in Tracy's version, "white supremacy" was omnipresent. The reason she was "so angry all of the time" was that "our students are dying from violence, because they are dismissed regularly in their classrooms." She was tired, but "I think I figured out why. I am under attack. All women, but especially womxn of color, are under attack."

She had a new name, a colorful world of villains, and an explanation for a lifetime of unhappiness. "My name is Tracy Castro-Gill," she proclaimed. "I am Xicana, chingona, and pissed off." In this world, she was the hero. Teachers gravitated toward her as she laid out an inspiring story.

"I'm angry, because when I was in high school, I wasn't encouraged to succeed... it was all Shakespeare and Whiteness," she said.

In this telling of her life story, Castro-Gill grew up in poverty and was homeless. Her father, she said, was a Hispanic who betrayed his identity by being what she called a "U.S. nationalist," which made their home "intolerable." To avoid "assimilation" and show that she was authentically Hispanic, her new history went, Castro-Gill joined a gang and began using drugs.

None of this was real, her father Rick Castro told me. He and his wife, Rita, had provided for Tracy a conventional, stable middle-class upbringing. Rick eventually earned a six-figure income, and Rita was a stay-at-home mom. Her school placed her in honors classes, but she withdrew.

"Everything since [Tracy] moved to Seattle has been one big lie," Rick said. "It hurts to be the subject of a complete fabrication. . . . She never said a word about any of this racial stuff back then. . . . Her best friend was a bipolar schizophrenic. I don't know if it rubbed off, or we missed something raising her."

Rick, who is half Hispanic, said Tracy's closest connection to Spanish-speaking culture may be her similarity to Don Quixote, the fictional warrior who attacked windmills believing he was doing battle with ferocious giants. "My mom was white . . . my dad was born here in Long Beach," Rick said. "You've seen pictures of her, she's basically white. How are they racist against you? She can't speak Spanish. She's got a last name of Gill. . . . Remember Rachel Dolezal, that lady a few years ago who pretended to be black? That's exactly what this is," he said, referring to a white woman who became an NAACP official while identifying as black, also in Washington State.

So she's one quarter Hispanic by blood, but grew up middle-class American and well-to-do.

Not as a "fierce xicana, chingonka drug-dealer gang-member" or whatever the f*ck she was claiming.

Interesting that this "anti-racist" immediately equates "authentic Hispanic" with "drug-dealing gang-banger."

Like Dolezal, Castro-Gill turned her new persona into a job--and in Castro-Gill's case, a position of genuine influence. Seattle's school system named her to a district-wide position called Ethnic Studies Program Manager, paying her $93,000 a year to convey to children the pervasiveness of racism. She described herself as a "radical atheist and consider myself a far-left anarchist."

Her racialized version of education mirrored her self-proclaimed history of joining a gang and using drugs to avoid "assimilation." Under her leadership, the Seattle school system -- located in an area with two of America's largest high-tech companies, Amazon and Microsoft -- decided to partially replace the math curriculum of every grade with "math ethnic studies." To pass, students must explain how math is "used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color." They must "explain how math dictates economic oppression," and answer "Why/how does [sic] data-driven processes prevent liberation?"

Regarding her "non-binary" daughter: the ex-husband says she had to do that.

After all, she was white.

How else would she earn rank in the Cult of Grievance?

Ron, the ex-husband, said Castro-Gill became "obsessed" with their child's sexuality, seemingly in order to cultivate the currency of victimhood status. "Her daughter is white with blue eyes, so what are you gonna say? 'She's not black or Mexican, but she's gay!'" he said. Ron told his daughter her identity did not come from a category.

And so, as if fate were guiding her, she became a Marxist Ringleader pushing for "ethnic studies" everywhere in Seattle public schools.

And I mean, she literally printed up a t-shirt announcing herself as a "MARXIST RINGLEADER" with that ambition.

The fact that education 'equity' means copying Seattle means we have 20 years of data showing it does not work. Seattle's racial achievement gaps keep getting worse. In fact, a study found that progressive cities are worse at closing the achievement gap than conservative ones.

But put politics and even academics aside. Parents' only ultimate desire is for our kids to be happy. What this story shows is that the weird racial stuff is pushed by adults who are emotionally broken, who blame phantom oppression for their unhappiness, then make kids unhappy.

The excerpt follows Tracy Castro-Gill, Seattle's head of ethnic studies who famously said that math is racist. Minorities exchanged Algebra 2 for a course called 'Power and Oppression.' Keep in mind Microsoft and Amazon are based nearby and pay huge salaries for math-related work

Castro-Gill told educators that when she was young, she was a homeless, gang member, drug-using Latinx.

But I spoke to her family. Her dad likened her to Rachel Dolezal, saying she has little to do with Hispanic culture, and that her childhood was 'Mayberry.'

The weird racial fantasies, like that Seattle was a bastion of white supremacy, simply provided a pretext for the unhappiness of a housewife having a mid-life crisis.

She was tired, but "I think I figured out why. I am under attack... womxn of color, are under attack," she said

While family viewed her as unstable and distanced themselves, Seattle schools said she was a racial expert and entrusted 50k kids to her care. Yet, it did not solve her problems. She and three other of Seattle's racial advocates went on paid leave for mental health.

Before overseeing an initiative that tanked achievement of minority kids, Castro-Gill married a child molester and moved her child in with him. The child had been diagnosed with severe cognitive issues, but soon decided she was 'nonbinary.' She was named Teacher of the Year.

Specifically citing that she was dishonest and refused to work collaboratively with families, Seattle Public Schools tried to put her back in a classroom.

But no matter how many times they lead to worse outcomes and are known to lie and bully to get their way, those wrapping themselves in the banner of 'equity' fail upwards in K-12.

Facing termination for dishonesty, she became a high-paid consultant and landed a state contract.

More evidence that the woke industrial complex is fueled by mental illness.

As if we needed more. But yes.
