Nonprofit network takes hundreds of millions in federal funds while pushing 'wokeness,' advocacy group warns

The American Parents Coalition (APC) accuses the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) of using federal funds to advance political agendas, including promoting 'environmental justice' and gender ideology through educational programs and reports. APC highlights NASEM's funding of groups like EcoRise, which teaches students about systemic racism and equity, and a 2023 workshop on transgender youth health as examples of ideological influence.
