CRT – Their Goal Is Indoctrinating Students in Far-Left Causes: Stack of Stuff Part 10

White Fragility on little kids

How do they hate us? Let me count the ways – almost innumerable. Here’s a few more (all may be reformatted, emphasis mine):

J.P. Sears strikes again, this time explaining, as only he can do, the recent evolution of “wokeness,” from “the pre-paleowokalithic era,” and before the social justice warriors learned “how to make weapons out of keyboards.”

If 2020 was an eye-opening year for millions of Americans, 2021 is the year they are taking action. Over the past several months, leaders have emerged across the country and across the political spectrum to fight against divisive, racially charged rhetoric in American classrooms. One of the fastest-growing and most robustly organized groups is Moms For Liberty, which is focused on creating a nation-wide watch-dog network to monitor school boards. 

Moms For Liberty (which also welcomes dads and other stakeholders), was chartered about 5 months ago in Florida and has since grown to 20k members, with 44 chapters in 19 states, and hundreds of chapter applications currently in queue. Co-founder and former school board member, Tina Descovich, told me in a recent exchange that Moms For Liberty stands for “liberty and parental rights in education,” so CRT is just one issue they are addressing.  Unlike other similar organizations, many of which have sprung up to specifically combat political indoctrination in schools, Moms For Liberty is focused on cultivating empowered, liberty-minded citizens who share a broader commitment to the principles of the American founding. One way they accomplish this is by promoting events called “Madison Meetups,” which involve encouraging community members to meet in living rooms across America to discuss America’s founding documents.

…A growing list of chapters can be found on the main website, with more announced each week.

Remember, I want the Left to keep on talking, talking, and talk even more. They, however, wish to Silence and Cancel you – and have no problem in intimidating you:

Loudoun County is developing a pattern of pushing extreme leftist politics within its schools and due to that, many parents have risen up and pushed back. Now, these parents are not only being alienated by their own families, leftist Facebook groups are actually targeting them for harassment.  According to Fox News, a Facebook group called “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” is accused of targeting parents who have spoken out against Critical Race Theory in schools.

“They put three pictures of me in there, and they called me a racist,” said Patti Hidalgo Menders. “They had my first and last name, the name of my husband, where my son goes to high school, what town I live in, and they called me disgusting.”

…That these parents would face backlash was inevitable. Critical Race Theory is a cornerstone of hard-left politics and is widely misunderstood by the rest of the left as some sort of anti-racist ideological pursuit. It’s anything but. CRT actually targets different races as being to blame for the troubles of other races and paints America as a country built solely on the sin of slavery. White people in particular are blamed for every societal ill under the sun with antisemitism running rampant within the ideology as well.

In truth, it’s really a way for Marxism to infiltrate society as has been made clear by those who practice it. Following the procedure, the parents who resist this extremist infiltration of leftist beliefs into the school system will be targeted, isolated, and ridiculed until they give in. Hopefully they won’t, and if they don’t, then they will eventually win. The left will have no choice but to retreat and the parents can begin taking the necessary steps to ensure board members are put in place that won’t push this poisonous ideology on their children.

Isn’t this, in part, what got Minnesota into the trouble they’re in? And they’re going to double down??

…According to the state’s Department of Education website, there’s a new draft of curriculum standards up for review.

  • Was sex a part of social studies for you? It may soon be. Kids will get schooled in matters related to gender and illegal immigration as well
  • In first grade, kids will learn about
    • discrimination and — it seems — systemic racism:
    • Learn to recognize unfairness, stereotypes, and bias on the individual level (e.g., biased speech) and injustice at the institutional or systemic level (e.g. discrimination).
  • fifth graders will:
    • “explain how colonial imperialism evoked varied responses by indigenous nations, and produced regional societies and economies that depended on the labor of abducted and enslaved Africans and distinct forms of local government.”
    • investigating “how groups (Example: women, religious groups, civil rights groups, indigenous peoples, LGBTQ) have advocated for access to greater rights,”
  • In sixth grade, children will
    • “describe the goals of activists in their quest for their voice to be heard, especially anti-war, racial minorities, immigrants/refugees, women, LGBTQ, and indigenous people.”
    • They’ll also study genocide:
  • For seventh grade: Evaluate political, economic, spatial and historical perspectives used to justify the displacement/removal of indigenous peoples throughout the past in the United States.
  • Eight graders will get the 411 on power: Analyze spatial decisions to recognize power and its impact on Indigenous peoples from local to global scales.
  • Ninth graders are set to learn, perhaps, the most about social justice.
    • “[Students will] analyze the founding documents of the United States, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as historical sources, asking who created them, whose voices were absent, and whose interests were articulated,” the standards read.
    • to “explain how systemic inequity has been a barrier to accessing credit.”
  • Furthermore, freshman will get a load of whiteness.

Instead of helping young people discover that America is the greatest, most tolerant, and most generous nation in history, it teaches them that America is systemically evil and that the hearts of our people are full of hatred and malice. Far from advancing the beautiful dream of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. — that our children should “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” — the left’s vile new theory preaches that judging people by the color of their skin is actually a good idea.

Teaching even one child these divisive messages would verge on psychological abuse. Indoctrinating generations of children with these extreme ideas is not just immoral — it is a program for national suicide.

But that’s the point for the Socialists who have no other way to overthrow what America is.

The rule explicitly cites the New York Times’ discredited “1619 Project” as a motivation. The Times has described the goal of its endeavor as the “re-education” of the American people, and the project even includes a lesson plan that encourages students to practice “erasing” parts of the Declaration of Independence. The Biden rule also directly cites a left-wing activist and leading proponent of critical race theory whose textbook states, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

Here are the reforms that every concerned parent in America should be demanding…

Go to link to see what the seven reforms are.

…Critical race theory focuses on system racism and white privilege.

According to “Critical Race Theory: An Introduction,” a primer first published in 2001, the basic tenets include:

1. “Racism is ordinary, not aberrational…the common, everyday experience of most people of color in this country,” which means that “racism is difficult to cure or address.”

2.  “Our system of white-over-color ascendancy serves important purposes, both psychic and material.” (“Because racism advances the interests of both white elites (materially) and working-class people (psychically), large segments of society have little incentive to eradicate it.”)

3. “Races are categories that society invents, manipulates, or retires when convenient. (“People with common origins share certain physical traits, but those are dwarfed by what we have in common.”)

4. “Dominant society racializes different minority groups (in different ways) at different times, in response to shifting needs. (In one era, a group of color may be depicted as happy-go-lucky, simpleminded, and content to serve white folks. A little later, when conditions change, that very same group may appear in cartoons, movies, and other cultural scripts as menacing, brutish, and out of control, requiring close monitoring and repression.”)

5. “No person has a single, easily stated, unitary identity.” (“Everyone has potentially conflicting, overlapping identities, loyalties, and allegiances,” i.e., a white feminist may be Jewish, a black activist may be gay, a Latino may be black, etc.)

6. “The voice-of-color thesis holds that because of their different histories and experiences with oppression, black, Indian, Asian, and Latino/a writers and thinkers may be able to communicate to their white counterparts matters that the whites are unlikely to know. (“Minority status, in other words, brings with it a presumed competence to speak about race and racism.”)

Yesterday the Florida Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt new guidelines which effectively eliminate the ability to teach critical race theory or to use materials from the 1619 Project in Florida classrooms.  The amendment states topics must be “factual and objective,” and specifically prohibits “the teaching of Critical Race Theory, meaning the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons.”

The amendment also bans material from the 1619 Project, a Pulitzer Prize-winning initiative by The New York Times that reframed American history around the date of August 1619, when the first slave ship arrived on America’s shores. The new guidelines make specific reference to the founding of the nation in 1776:

Instruction may not utilize material from the 1619 Project and may not define American history as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence. Instruction must include the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments.

I know that by attaching my name to this I’m risking not only my current job but my career as an educator, since most schools, both public and private, are now captive to this backward ideology. But witnessing the harmful impact it has on children, I can’t stay silent.

My school, like so many others, induces students via shame and sophistry to identify primarily with their race before their individual identities are fully formed.

Go listen to the audio clips where the headmaster actually agrees with the teacher that CRT is harming students and then publicly throws him under the bus by denying it.
