“It was obviously the left that did this and they are basing this on some of the things that were said by people like Vladimir Lenin and various Marxists. Lenin said give me your children to teach for four years and the seeds I plant will never be uprooted. What they are trying to do is actually indoctrinate the kids. This is not a new thing. This has been going on for a while,” he said.
I love being a teacher and I care a great deal about my students, almost all of whom are non-white. This past 2020/21 school year was a sad and worrisome turning point for me as an educator. Providence K-8 teachers were introduced to one of the most racially divisive, hateful, and in large part, historically inaccurate curriculums I have ever seen in my teaching career.
Yes, I am speaking about the controversial critical race theory that has infiltrated our public schools here in Rhode Island under the umbrella of Cuturally Responsive learning and teaching, which includes a focus on identities. You won’t see the words “critical race theory” on the materials, but those are the concepts taught. The new, racialized curriculum and materials focuses almost exclusively on an oppressor-oppressed narrative, and have created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.
According to documents posted on the education ministry’s website, a new approach to math is needed to combat the field’s inherent white supremacy.
Here’s a reminder that the harbingers of the revolution are hanging out with your kids 8 hours a day.
Real Clear News reporter Philip Wegmann asked about the NEA, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, backing critical race theory and Biden’s stance on anti-racism curriculum in K-12 classrooms. Psaki answered that “kids should learn about our history,” including that “there is systemic racism that is still impacting society today.”
Fonte left the school in June, the third high-profile staffer to depart the progressive school due to parental outrage.
But educators defended the teacher’s methods to the New York Times, saying that she did not teach anything inappropriate and that her methods were in line with both National Sex Education Standards and the World Health Organization’s International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, standards used in public schools in New York City.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) will be opening the doors of their buildings for the first time since the start of the pandemic. To get school supplies ready and accessible for students, they have started a new program that will stock schools with masks, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, air purifiers, forehead thermometers, menstrual products, AND – last but not least – condoms.
With the passage of the supposedly “anti-conversion therapy” Bill C-6 through the House of Commons there has been an evident lack of knowledge on the bill present in the Canadian public. Most people will just hear that it bans “conversion therapy” and assume the best of intentions, without knowing the troubling negative free speech and parental rights implications posed by C-6.
The political left wants critical race theory in every school district in the nation. The nation’s largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts.
Over the weekend, the National Education Association (NEA) held its annual Representative Assembly, with delegates from across the United States voting on priorities and allocating funding for the upcoming school year, with the ideology of critical race theory — a form of race-based Marxism — taking center stage.
More than 5,000 educators have signed a petition vowing to break anti-critical race theory laws being considered in multiple state legislatures — as the controversial curriculum faces a reckoning in districts across the country.
America’s teachers’ unions are the country’s single most malign influence. They do more to promote leftist extremism, and do it more effectively, than anyone else. The teachers’ unions dominate the schools of education, from which most teachers come, and they control school board elections in most districts. In effect, they run the public schools, which is the main reason why the public schools are so bad.
How radical are they?
The NEA has already adopted new provisions that support critical race theory, a controversial school of thought that emphasizes racism in American history and maintains that it is systemic in U.S. law and institutions.
A “Summer Learning Opportunities” note included “Stress Lessons: From Stressed out to Chilled Out” then “Sankofa Summer Academy for Black Youth/ The (Ottawa-Carleton District School Board) Continuing Education department will offer a virtual reach ahead credit opportunity for African, Black and Caribbean Grade 8 students entering Grade 9 (or Grade 9 students who have not completed Grade 9 English). Eligible students will have the opportunity to earn an Academic English credit over the summer before they start high school. The course will be taught from an Afro-Centric perspective (Black writers and the history, culture, ideas, and values reflected in their work).”
Students in the class of 2021 did not have to prove they could write or do math at a basic level to earn their diplomas. A bill headed to Gov. Kate Brown would prohibit any such requirement at least until 2027.
Findings from a new North Dakota State University survey reveal that the majority of students identifying as liberal or liberal-leaning are not proud of America.
In response to the question “Are you proud to be American?” 57 percent of liberal identifying students answered ‘no’. This is in contrast to the 73 percent majority of conservatives who answered ‘yes’ to the same question.
Speaking on Fox & Friends on Tuesday after the incendiary viral comments of Abrar Omeish, a young female Muslim board member of Fairfax County School Board, at the Justice High School graduation, a former Wall Street Journal correspondent and Georgetown University professor who is also Muslim and a parent in the school district fired that Omeish’s comments were “part of this network of political Islam in America that has joined together with the far Left in order to create a Trojan horse to basically hijack our schools with their radical ideology.”
