Leftist political radicalism is migrating from college campuses to elementary and high schools. More and more parents are seeing it. The lockdowns and Zoom are giving us a window into our children’s classrooms. Schools are feeding really young kids radical stuff devoid of educational content.
The 1619 Project asserts America’s founding does not begin the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Rather, America’s start was at the arrival of the first African slaves in Jamestown in 1619. That America is, was, and always has been a fundamentally racist country and white Americans today bear responsibility for all current and historic racism. This is false.
Then there is “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” This sounds innocent. Don’t let them fool you. It’s a dangerous euphemism for Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory says racism is in the very fabric of American society. What does this look like in a school setting?
Many middle and high school students are learning to be on the lookout for “unconscious” racial bias in their classmates. “We need your help!” an email to students reads. “Your school leaders will be working with you this year. You need to know how to be proactive about preventing bias incidents. It is important that you learn how to report them, should they occur.”
This warped vision of America doesn’t stop at race. Elementary schools are indoctrinating first graders. They are teaching that just because someone looks like a boy doesn’t mean they are and gender is something they choose for themselves. Or, maybe they’re not fully a boy or a girl, but something in between.
Our children are being taught the world faces imminent disaster. Global warming is coming don’t you know. The American Federation of Teachers is fully endorsing the most radical aspects of the Green New Deal. This is featuring in many school curriculums.
Many of our schools are teaching children our past is terrible. Worse, they are teaching they have no future. Our schools are teaching if they are white, they are racist. Whether they know it or not the schools are teaching our kids they are racists.
If they’re black, our schools are teaching them they’re victims. It does not matter whether they experience it or not. Our schools are teaching kids they should constantly question their sexual identity.
Find out what is being taught in your kids’ school
Take a good, hard look at curricula. Ask administrators if they endorse The 1619 Project. Are they pushing a “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” agenda? If so, ask to see what materials the school is using. The administration may stonewall. Don’t accept it. You pay the bills. You vote and you take time to involve yourself and organize for what you believe.
Get to know your kids’ teachers and principals. Join the PTA, attend local school board meetings, and look for allies among reasonable parents. You don’t have to agree with each other on everything. You just have to agree; the brainwashing of our children stops here. Stops now.
We know what our children should be learning. Our children must take responsibility for their conduct. Race is the least important aspect of another person. Hard work and rational thought are things we all value. There is nothing wrong with the bodies they were born into.
The American was not to promote racism. America’s foundation guarantees sacred liberties and opportunities to its citizens. And it won’t hurt if they learn reading and writing and math, too.
