16 Jan Radical Influence in Public Education
Date & Time: Tuesday, February 10, 2026 @ 12:00pm CST
Location: Virtual Meeting Held on Zoom
About: Through deep research, intelligence mapping, and public accountability reports, TRACE Initiative investigates ideological and political influence operating inside K–12 public education. This webinar will examine how extremist narratives and activist frameworks, ranging from Hamas-aligned materials to Young Socialist organizing, have found their way into school environments, often without parental knowledge or oversight. Participants will learn what forms of indoctrination currently exist, how they are introduced, why existing safeguards often fail, and what parents and community members can do to push back effectively and lawfully.
Speaker: Lissa Kenkel is the founder and CEO of TRACE Initiative (Transparency, Responsibility & Accountability in Education), a watchdog organization focused on exposing ideological capture, foreign influence, and policy violations in K–12 public education. Through investigative research, intelligence mapping, and formal accountability briefings, TRACE examines how political and extremist narratives enter school systems under the guise of equity, activism, or social justice. Lissa works closely with parents, educators, legal experts, and policymakers to identify risk, document misconduct, and restore institutional accountability in education.
