Marxism, BLM, and LGBT in School Curriculum

[LostMarbels]

The initiative began in Seattle, where teachers organized a “Black Lives Matter at School Day,” in October, 2016.... In 2018, school districts in more than 20 major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle incorporated BLM at School Week into their curricula, and still more participated this year.

Incorporating BLM’s ideas into K-12 school curricula extends beyond one week of each school year. In a letter of support, BLM co-founder Opel Tometi describes the effort as “a new uprising for racial justice” in the nation’s schools.

” Jessica Cunningham Akoto, CEO of the charter school network KIPP Philadelphia, wrote a letter outlining its new plan to focus on “learning mindsets and practices rooted in Black liberation.”

Black liberation is a Marxist theological and social movement that emerged in the late 1960s. It conceives of America as “systemically racist.” Accordingly, America’s institutions are also considered racist and as conceived to perpetuate racism. Moreover, in this view the entire construct of American culture, symbolically represented by the flag, national anthem, and even Philly’s own Liberty Bell, represents an insult to people of color.

Black Lives Matter In Public Schools Is Turning Kids Into Little Marxists

*I am an immigrant who came from Korea. I serve many Korean families in Orange County through Children’s Ministries. Many Asians came here for a better life in America. Many risked their lives to escape a Communistic Regime. Communism uses propaganda to control people’s thinking. They control the media outlets and distort truth. They are mass manipulators for the sake of governmental oppression. They turn kids against their parents. I have lived in America for two decades and I can tell you, we are tip toeing on the edge of socialistic communism. This breaks my heart for America. The unions are behind these beliefs and yet teachers are too busy to notice. Teachers might think their union protects them, but when oppression ripens, no one is immune from its captivity. – Jinah Yi, Orange Unified School District parent, California.

The National and state teachers union endorses Black Lives Matter and their K-12 curriculum. Within the BLM curriculum are teachings that Gender is the child’s CHOICE based on the child’s feelings. These choices encompass: Boy, Girl, Both, Neither or SOMETHING ELSE. (the CDE says this choice can be made as young as TWO). The NEA partners with the Human Rights Campaign who has created preschool lessons teaching unlimited gender choices. The National Educators Association and ACSA (Administrators Calif School Association) recommend these “welcoming school” lessons for our primary school children.

It’s not clear to me what aspects of Marxism are being taught, can you elaborate?

I wouldn't send my kids to school in this day and age. Unions teach that everyone is equal regardless of output.

I'm trying to figure out how the murder of George Floyd turn into K-12 curriculum in public schools about gender studies and Black Liberation theology. Read my friend. The other thing I want to know is why are 2-year-olds being talked to about sexual orientation in Pre-K?

What's really going on here?

You’re making up divisive thread titles to stoke conflict?

I haven't made a single thing up. Didn't even post my own comments in the op. Read, find out what the contention concerning Marxism is. I'm not doing the footwork for ya.

My biggest issue is we have politicians writing BLM in the streets. On going BLM riots, and looting. Now schools are working with BLM to create curriculum. Are we really sure there is no left wing agenda here? Where is this all going?

*hint: I actually copied and pasted some of the remarks about Marxism in the op.

Wouldn't it be a shame if schools just stayed closed...indefinitely?

 

[SigurdReginson]

Meh... This aint anything too new. In elementary school I learned about the abolitionist movement, the effects of boarding schools on the First Peoples of America (especially in my area), and the gay pride parade. When I received southern baptist curriculum from 7-12 grade I learned that Abraham Lincoln was the northern aggressor, evolution was something to be ignored in favor of creationism, and segregation was a perfectly normal element of life.

Everyone has a narrative, and they teach that narrative. Right or wrong, they want to influence the way you think as a child. No matter where you go, this is going to happen, and this is based on the agenda of those who teach. There's no such thing as an unbiased curriculum, though people cry foul when they see things being taught differently than they like. They want to control the way every child thinks, and they want to form their minds into like minded individuals.

They have no real interest in free thinking individuals. They try real hard to create an obedient member of their version of society that will quietly step in line. One thing I never learned in any k-12 schooling subjects were critical thinking skills, though. I had to learn those on my own. In higher education you can get better tools for critical thinking, and that's a goal of mine.

I'd love to take courses in philosophy, logic, and debate (though not for the sake of debate... I detest the process. It's useful to know the tactics folks use, though, and it helps in reading between the lines).

It won't be long now until my daughter is born. When her time comes, I don't see an alternative to sending her to a private school.

 

[Running2win]

I agree.



Again I agree. Im trying to figure out how people think this BLM organization that is backed by some of the most powerful and well organized corporate entities in the world, worldwide political leaders/figureheads, and the media is just some organic protest.

How did BLM get into the position of making Pre k-12 public school curriculum? What kind of pull, with what type of people does that take? I mean we even have governors of states backing them.

Yep. Our system of government can only work when people have a common morality. The morality of today is none, so that is what we are getting-a government mandated system that will enforce only what is deemed acceptable behavior and belief. IMO, it was destined to fail over time.

Guns will go (or only guns for the party), and freedom of religion shortly after. Eventually the Constitution will be done away with or changed so much, it won't be recognizable. The ballot box can only slow this down, not stop it.

Think about it. Rewrite history, and teach them only what you want, and what kind of society will you have? This is what has been happening in our schools and colleges for decades. It is now bearing fruit.

I started homeschooling my kids around 6 years ago, partially because the social indoctrination was so bad even then. I knew it was getting worse, but I didn't know how far it had progressed in the last few years. Thanks.

I was a single father of two girls. I never would have been able to raise them without the public school system, and that's a problem. They go to school, I go to work, and that was just the way it was. They need to be feed... bills need to be paid. Actually, now that they are grown and have families themselves, I am kind of alarmed at how much I relied on others to 'watch' my kids. Be it Girl scouts, school, band, soccer... what have you, I trusted a lot of individuals to do right by my kids. I do not know if I would have done the same knowing what I now know.

My kids never went to the government schools. But not all private schools are better. Pick your schools carefully or you may find that you have chosen an expensive version of what you were trying to avoid. This is true even of Catholic schools, where the odds are better but nothing is guaranteed.

I have the benefit of working from home for over two years now. Their curriculum is primarily online based and they do have access to teachers to help if they have some confusion I can't resolve. Actually, one of them just graduated this year. Having online resources available in recent years has been a great benefit for homeschoolers.

Right. We should stop teaching the US Declaration of Independence, which claims the same thing.

Thats true. He said "everyone". Dec of Ind only says "all men".

It stated we are 'created' equal. Nothing in there about equality of outcomes.

???

The post I quoted didnt say people should equal outcomes either.
