Primer: Social Emotional Learning–The Delivery Mechanism For Critical Race Theory

“Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances to the Founding Fathers, towards his parents, towards our elected officials, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you, teachers, to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.”

Canadian Students’ Decline in Writing, Thinking Skills Amid Rise of Ideological Education Worries Profs

Some Canadian political science professors are concerned about their students’ inability to write good essays due to poor knowledge and literacy and the ideological bent in academia.

Travis Smith, a political science professor at Concordia University in Montreal, said he and his colleagues began noticing a “precipitous decline” in the quality of students’ writing roughly 10 years ago.

“We figured out it was because the cohort matriculating had been educated following some substantial curriculum change growing up,” he told The Epoch Times.

Florida bill would ban pornographic content in schools, require parents’ consent for sex-ed

A new bill in Florida hailed by pro-family advocates would introduce strict penalties for graphic material in public schools and prohibit teaching students sex education without parents’ explicit permission.

Authored by Republican state Sen. Dennis Baxley, SB 1842 would impose a raft of changes designed to protect children and strengthen parental control over sexual content in K-12 schools.

Expect Federal overreach on this too.

Facts behind the fact checkers: NewsGuard is a sham and they are targeting your kids

The American Federation of Teachers is buying 1.7 million Newsguard licenses for teachers nationwide. They will then share them with millions of students. Since students turn to the internet in increasing numbers annually, they will be highly susceptible to stinted propaganda coming from a source that touts itself as a “fact-checker.” In short, Newsguard is cloaking cleverly concealed inaccuracies and, in some instances, flagrant conflicts of interests as facts. This is eerily reminiscent of the methodology employed by Joseph Goebbels in NAZI Germany.

This L.A. School Called the Cops on Unvaccinated Teens Who Showed Up for Class

When 15-year-old Ellah Nahum and a few other unvaccinated students showed up at Los Angeles’ New West Charter School on Tuesday, January 18, after winter break, they brought lunches, backpacks, and negative COVID-19 tests, hoping to be allowed in. They’d been negotiating with school administrators since early October, when the school had announced that a vaccine mandate would go into effect in January. Prior to returning to school from winter break, they’d requested a hearing, attempting to find alternative options to getting vaccinated.

When they showed up at school around 7:30 a.m., they sailed through the first checkpoint, run by two newly hired security guards who were satisfied with the girls’ proof of negative test conducted in the last 24 hours. It was the second checkpoint, run by school administrators demanding proof of vaccination, that created trouble for the teens. Several hours later, after tense negotiations between administrators, teens, and their parents, the school called Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to the scene, and cordoned the teens off, denying them chairs and bathroom breaks, according to the girls.

‘Free Speech Advocates’ Panic Over Parents’ Push For More Curriculum Transparency

Teachers, unions and “free speech advocates” argue that more school curriculum transparency would be equivalent to “educational gag orders,” experts told NBC News.

State lawmakers in at least 12 states across the U.S. have introduced legislation to promote more school transparency by requiring teachers to post educational materials online, NBC News reported. Conservatives see more transparency as a way to prevent controversial curricula such as race-based education, Critical Race Theory (CRT) and sexually graphic books.

Every classroom should have cameras so parents can see and hear exactly what their children are being taught.
