Wokeness Is Ripping Through America’s Schools. Here’s How To Protect Your Children From It

It’s back to school! You bought all the school supplies and new clothes, but what about insulating your children against school indoctrination? Sadly, indoctrination resistance is now part of going back to school so you must stay vigilant and teach your children personal boundaries.

Lesson plans about “social identity,” which may be called Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Critical Race Theory, cultural competency, or other names, obliterate the personal boundaries of children in order to break down kids emotionally and build them back up as social justice activists. The process involves forging emotional bonds to influence children to become political proteges of the teachers and peers that emotionally manipulated them.

Adopting leftists’ mindsets and behaviors becomes an act of loyalty to a collective identity that is prioritized over individual human value.

California school district spends $20K on ‘Woke Kindergarten’ to ‘disrupt whiteness’, promote anti-police, anti-prison ideology

The Washington Examiner reports that Hayward Unified School District recently contacted Woke Kindergarten for a month-long training session for staffers at Glassbrook Elementary School, where they will be taught to “disrupt whiteness, white dominant/settler colonial narratives and anti-Blackness in the Glassbrook community.” Woke Kindergarten touts itself as a “global, abolitionist early childhood ecosystem & visionary creative portal.” It was founded by Akiea “Ki” Gross, who uses they/them pronouns.

Gross is described as an “abolitionist early educator, cultural organizer and creator currently innovating ways to resist, heal, liberate and create with their pedagogy, Woke Kindergarten,” in in the “who we are” section of Woke Kindergarten’s web site.

In The Name Of Equity, The ACLU Supports Racial Discrimination In College Admissions

The ACLU reported that it had filed amicus curiae briefs in two cases before the United States Supreme Court, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, both of which challenge whether or not higher education can legally consider race in its application approval process.

“Ending the consideration of race in college admissions would ignore the country’s ongoing challenge of racial inequality and threaten diversity and inclusion on campuses everywhere,” Sarah Hinger, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program, said in a press release.

Oklahoma education secretary: Teachers injecting ‘sick material’ in schools should be kicked out of profession

The Oklahoma education secretary said public school teachers indoctrinating kids with woke ideology have ‘no place’ in the profession

Oklahoma’s education secretary Ryan Walters told Fox News Digital about a potential plan to revoke teaching certificates in cases where educators are found pushing “sick material” in public school classrooms.

“Ultimately, if you’re trying to push ideology on our kids, there’s no place for you to be a teacher,” Walters told Fox News Digital. “Being a teacher is about focusing on academics and equipping students with the skills so that they can be successful in life, not indoctrinating them to a woke ideology.”

He’s right but a complete “cleansing” of teacher colleges and unions will have to be a part of the solution.

Public education is as bad as, if not worse than, you’ve heard

At Wesley Yang’s Year Zero substack site, a left-leaning public teacher in a leftist school district published an article describing just how crazy things really are in such schools.  While your children may be behind in reading, writing, and arithmetic, it’s clear they’re getting an extra-large dose of hard-left racism (and probably gender theory and America-hatred, although the essay doesn’t touch on those things).  If you have children or grandchildren in public schools, or you simply care about America’s future, you should read that essay and then pay close attention to your next school board election.

The essay, entitled “Yes, Things Are Really as Bad as You’ve Heard,” sounds like one of the more outlandish Babylon Bee parodies.

Less Than Half of San Francisco Students Are High-School Ready. More Than a Fourth Are Chronically Absent.

San Francisco Public Schools released data last month painting a bleak picture of academic achievement in the famously liberal city.

For the 2021-2022 school year, just 47 percent of eighth graders were deemed ready for high school. Twenty-eight percent of students in the San Francisco Unified School District are “chronically absent”—a proportion that has doubled since the 2019-2020 school year. Two-thirds of African-American students fall into that category.

It’s cause their school is named after a racist.

Randi Weingarten’s Teachers Union Commissioned a Poll on Education. She Won’t Like the Results.

One of the clearest villains of the pandemic was Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, a powerful and deep-pocketed union. Her tireless anti-child and anti-science efforts played a major role in condemning millions of American students to disastrous “virtual learning,” for a year or more in many parts of the country. The bluer the area, the more influence unions wield over elected Democrats — and the likelier kids in those jurisdictions were languish at home, denied crucial in-person instruction. And when they were finally permitted back into classrooms, after well over a year in many cases, the likelier they were to face unsupported-by-data mask mandates.

The TDSB wants to “decolonize” student assessments

In yet another effort to completely dumb down standards for its students, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) intends to “decolonize” assessment practices during the next school year.

In the memo – obtained by True North – the two claim that “decolonization” of student assessments, equity anti-oppression and anti-racism are “at the core” of student learning and achievement.

Government-funded school pamphlet calls Canada’s Red Ensign a “hate symbol”

A booklet made for school children that calls the Red Ensign flag a hate symbol and identifies the Conservative Party as a target of “infiltration” by racists was approved by Cabinet yesterday as a taxpayer-funded project.

“This new resource will be delivered through workshops in schools across the country and it will help raise awareness with students,” Diversity Minister Ahmed Hussen told reporters. The booklet would help “teach core values to our kids,” he said.

Should grades matter? Why this teacher is shaking up everything we know about report cards

The end of the school year usually comes with all the fear and anticipation of final marks. But that’s not the case for the students in Stacie Oliver’s English classes. They already have a pretty good sense of how they did — that’s because they graded themselves.

Valentina Virviescas-Medina proposed a 90, up from the 82 she gave herself at the midterm. With a digital portfolio of her year’s work to show and a convincing verbal demonstration of what she had learned, the Grade 12 student is graduating from A.B. Lucas Secondary School in London, Ont., with, you guessed it, a 90 in English.

But this isn’t a story about marks.

It’s a story about stupid and lazy!
