Notes -
Looking for anti-woke books on parenting, preferably secular. How does raise children to not be woke? How does one teach them the gospel of success through hard work and mastery through practice? How does one handle the hypergamy question? How to balance tolerance with an appropriate level of caution around "inner-city youth"?
Like stock investing, raising children not to be woke and/or shielding them from the hustle and bustle of the urban youth is likely better done passively instead of actively. So more choosing the right place to live and leading by example, less John Derbyshire speeches and reciting FBI crime statistics before dinner every night.
While not as highly heritable as height or IQ, political views are still fairly heritable, so if you and your wife are naturally chuddy yourselves a lot of the work may already be done.
Live in countries, regions, and/or neighborhoods with few low information voters and with minimal lunchtime rowdiness. Aspiring rappers and Michael Jackson impersonators cannot culturally enrich your children where they can’t reach them. Normies think and refer to this as living in an area with a good school district. House prices discriminate so you don’t have to.
Similarly, live in countries, regions, and/or neighborhoods with limited wokeness. One way better-off Western families can accomplish this is by living in a non-Western country and sending their children to international schools. It can be a good solution if one has overseas family, especially after fat- or chubby-FIREing. While some teachers may be woke if they're Westerners or Western-influenced, at least your kids' classmates families' would less likely to be.
After wife and living location have been picked:
Make friends with other households where the husband is a crime-thinker too, and your families can hang out. Your families can be a positive reinforcers for each other.
Spend time with extended family starting from when the kids are babies. It's more difficult to believe in blank slatism when you can see how much more similar your nuclear family is to your extended family, and your extended family is to everyone else. While it may vary depending on one's circumstances, spending time with extended family is also good in and of itself.
Abstain from movies and TV shows that serve as girlboss and/or non-Asian minority propaganda. This might mean abstaining from most Hollywood products, but addition by subtraction.
If you watch sports in the house, keep it to the NHL and maybe MLB instead of the NBA or NFL. Don’t be one of those fathers who fawns over Ngubu scoring some fackin goals.
Be a man unapologetic of who you are. Maintain your physical and psychological strength even if life can be all_so_tiresome.jpg. Demonstrate the principles of sexual dimorphism and hypergamy through leading by example.
Regardless of what you do, for the foreseeable future daughters are more likely than sons to follow the Cathedral’s doctrine and simp for alphabet and racial minorities, eventually do stuff like post rainbows and black squares, vote for more third world immigration and wealth redistribution. As teenage girls and young women, many daughters learn that what they want can just be given to them, thus creating a disconnect between hard work and success.
There is likely greater potential for a treatment effect when it comes to boys, as they tend to be more open to crime-think in the first place and there are more developmental/environmental pathways for boys to gain exposure to chuddiness and the connection between hard work and success:
Get your boy(s) into weightlifting as a teenager. He can see his physique progress with work, and it's harder to believe in gender egalitarianism when the mirror and Lived Experience illustrate otherwise.
Think of the team sports the modal Reddit woman would seethe at for being too pale, too fratty, and/or too toxically masculine, such as lacrosse or hockey. Have your boy(s) join a team, or multiple of them, so he can grow in his journey with other chuds-to-be.
Play sports with your boy(s) starting from when they’re young. Just playing with them will help with their development so they can make the more elite toxically masculine sports teams (no need to get all tiger dad). Plus, it’ll make for fond memories. They can also see the ability gap narrow between them and their old man over time (hopefully not due to decline of the latter).
A lot of the above also has a virtuous cycle. For example, if your son plays a chuddy sport, you can meet other chuddy fathers and your families can hang out.
I have never met an international school kid who isn’t a turbolib. Half your suggestions are about shielding the kid from the racial underclasses, not from wokeness which is the English speaking world’s current elite ideology. You cannot shield from it by coming closer to the educated elite.

I have to say, this list has gotta be one of the textbook examples of Arson, Murder and Jaywalking.
"Be an example of a strong, non-feminine man... check... family values... check... and no matter what you do, don't let them see a nigger ball. They might just think he's actually better at something!"
