Teaching Progressive/Leftist Ideology in our Schools

Will the white supremacy ever end:

 

Of course it is:

 

However optional it is, should school districts be promoting any particular ideology:

 

When trusting the public school with your child is subjecting them to abuse by the pubic school.

DC Librarian Who Made Children Reenact Holocaust Is Failed Dem Candidate, Convicted Fraudster, and Animal Abuser: Kimberlynn Jurkowski defrauded New Jersey of $24k, abused dogs.

​

Someone isn't doing thorough background checks before entrusting 3rd graders into the 'care' of dangerous adults in public schools.

Figures.

Can't be trusted with dogs, but she can be trusted with our school children?

The principal of Watkins Elementary School, Scott Berkowitz, refused to discuss Jurkowski. D.C. Public Schools refused to discuss whether it was familiar with Jurkowski’s criminal record prior to hiring her.

An Angry Joe Biden has discontinued tracking sex assaults by union school employees on children.

Complete silence from Molech Garland

 

It's not 'liberalism gone amok':

 

SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER: Debate tournament banned White students from competing.

​

They need to hear from your lawyer.

 

Are you as dumb as these people:

 

I guess no one celebrates Hanukkah:

 

I don't blame him:

 

Why is it still a requirement on application forms for any position, either in academia or the workplace, to indicate race?
and why is it not possible for interviews be done by a mixed board and the final decision be discussed WITHOUT RECOURSE TO RACE, with the final decision made in the presence of a third party and who has no reference to the race of the candidate?

 

Who are the fascists:

 

Politics IMO should never interfere with education. (neither should faith BTW)
Unfortunately that is impossible.

There used to be some bloke in the 17th and 18th century they called the Witchfinder General...someone who was recognised as having the authority to prosecute suspected witches based on what he found as relevant to the case. A more recent example in the west is of course Joseph McCarthy...I suspect this is common practise in totalitarian countries.
The recent overreach of consideration for employment, particularly in education, based on the views or race or gender exhibited by the candidate is IMO counter to both your Constitution and the United Nations Charter for Human Rights, and anyone who discriminates on such grounds need to give their heads a serious wobble and hire a good lawyer.
I would cheer the day when someone had the resources to take these "politically correct" decisions to court and make examples of those who would discriminate on those illegal grounds.

OTOH, I would also immediately fire any lecturer who inserted his/her own bias while delivering material.
It is a sackable offense in the UK at school level and IMO should be so everywhere.

 

We're constantly being told CRT isn't being taught in schools:

A school district in Denver, Colorado, plans to host a Black Lives Matter “Week of Action,” according to a report from Parents Defending Education.

Centennial Elementary School (CES) in Denver Public Schools (DPS) announced its plans to participate in the “Black Lives Matter (BLM) at School Week of Action” from Jan. 31 – Feb. 4, according to a report from Parents Defending Education (PDE). The school said it will instruct kindergarteners and first graders to be “transgender affirming” by “recognizing trans-antagonistic violence” and “queer affirming” so “heteronormative thinking no longer exists.”

One of the 13 “Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles” the elementary school will teach is globalism, which is defined as “our ability to see how we are impacted or privileged within the Black global family.”

I am confused (and not for the first time!)
What does teaching about transgender issue have to do with BLM?
Is someone thinking black people are transgender?

This article is horrific.
Leave those poor children alone!

 

Report on the John Brown Gun Club mentioned below: https://www.counterextremism.com/supremacy/john-brown-gun-club

 

Inevitable:

 

Stupid assignment for students of 9 years old. Far far too contentious.

Get them to write about putting another school crossing on a major road or the town's imaginary closing of their park instead

 

Well, yes, you would have trouble enrolling in Trump University.

I only got that far because, just that much, drips with dissonance. Maybe you were unaware that "Trump University" ended in disgrace, and had to pay heavily to former students, after it was proven a scam (another of many) by OUR former president. But now that I've brought it to your attention surely you can see the dichotomy of a desire to attend, the defunct, Trump University and keeping your mind fertile; unless by fertile you mean fertilized with bullshit. And then equating anything tRumpian to, "dedication and love to of America the beautiful" after he, Benedict Donald, instigated the only attack on OUR Capitol by a sitting President and American citizens. You really have to be living in a dystopian world to put all of that together.

But to the point of your thread ... criticism of American education, specifically Liberal Education. Reading the course titles you posted, it appears to me that, at least some, if not most, are crafted (the titles) to get you to think and become curious. How dare any school of higher education want to foster thought and curiosity.

As far as your synopsis' of the primary schools and whether "I" would send my children (grandchildren is more appropriate at this point in my life) to them goes, my answer is; before I would send any of my children to any school, I would have to be sure they would be "educated" thoroughly in the 3R's and rounded out with the fundamentals of science, civics and music. But, what I see they have in common, and what I presume you object to, is they do not emphasize letter grades, or have them at all. Frankly, I am curious how that works, if I could be persuaded that they (the school) are achieving a positive outcome I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Growing up in the 50's and going to a parochial (Catholic) school, being brutalized (I mean beaten regularly) by nuns and subjected to competing with "pet" student's who ALWAYS got excellent marks, always sold more candy or crap we had to sell regularly, ALWAYS were given the best rolls in school plays and ALWAYS made the team and ALWAYS got starting positions; I could be persuaded that it's possible to better judge a student's progress than grades, especially when those grades are influenced by the standing of the child's parents in the parish.

I realize my opinion of primary school is jaded, but/so, it wouldn't be hard to convince me their has to be a better way to get kids interested in learning besides letter grades that often fail to really evaluate the progress and needs of the child and, more, arbitrarily rank, and criticism them. IF there's a better way to motivate and involve children in learning, and there must be, I'm all for it.

 

Interesting post.
I am familiar with the UK's education system and this issue of grading has more or less been settled by the introduction of the National Curriculum which clearly and with some attention to detail, sets out what each child must achieve to receive XXX grade.
and before anyone squeaks "state indoctrination" I can assure you that it is regularly checked for bias by the government and more than regularly checked by concerned parents and the media of many opinions.

 

Because what is taught to teaching candidates i in colleges and universities ways can wind up crimping generations of children. By the way many of those classes are not taught every semester and many if them are added at the last moment and so never show up in the catalogue. Most of the more egregious nonsense shows up as between semester fillers and also doesn't make the catalogue.

 

Is there no left-wing thought police:

 

Frankly the title of this thread should never be the subject of conversation.
IMO it is legitimate to teach ABOUT political ideologies, if in the context of other ideologies.
NEVER BTW lower than upper highschool .
It is NOT legitimate to teach (as in favour, big up or indicate preference for) one particular ideology.
Madrassas do that. Jewish and Christian religious schools who teach the social principles inherent in their own faiths do that.
Much of it is introduced as children grow up and meet social situations which demand response to someone or a group dynamic. (ie do they share, what about revenge, how do boys interact with girls, who do they help etc etc.)
Any formal lectures or hints of preference is indoctrination and any teaching leader should be fired for doing so.

At upper highschool or university level, IMO it is legitimate to introduce all the major political positions that describe the individual's relationship to the state. It is a basic requirement of young people to be able to understand the world.

 

Could they just not attend the event:

 

Do you need a place to cry:

 

The deniers are liars.

The State Legislatures are the solution. And it's a network of institutions that have been seized by these extremists within the Left.

STATE LEGISLATURES NEED TO TERMINATE THE ABA’S ROLE IN ACCREDITATION: Law Students Face Mandatory Bias Training Beginning In Fall 2022 Under Proposed ABA Diversity Accreditation Requirement.

"It has become politicized and intrusive."

“Recommended actions that would demonstrate ‘progress…under the Standard’ would include (206-5) ‘Diversity, equity, and inclusion training.’

"This raises two concerns. First, there is evidence that such ‘training’ is not effective, and can even be counterproductive. Second, and even more seriously, such training will almost certainly violate the academic freedom rights of faculty at many (probably most) schools by demanding conformity to a particular ideology about ‘diversity,’ its meaning, and its value.”

These are loyalty oaths. We need to get them out of all of Academia, including our law schools, the State Legislature is the place to drive this return to Academic Freedom.
