"Activism and action civics" opportunities for young students will be promoted.
Most adults who attended public school remember early history lessons about American leaders and symbols—George Washington crossing the Delaware, Betsy Ross sewing the American flag. But starting this fall, kindergarteners in Loudon County—a wealthy suburb of Washington D.C.—will be taught a new radicalized history curriculum focusing on slavery and social justice.
Loudon County has elected to partner with the disgraced far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to develop the new curriculum which deliberately paints America in a highly negative light.
"Sugarcoating or ignoring slavery until later grades makes students more upset by or even resistant to true stories about American history. Long before we teach algebra, we teach its component parts," the curriculum reads. "We should structure history instruction the same way."
The new curriculum also highlights "activism and action civics" opportunities for young students in kindergarten through second grade.
"Students should study examples of role models from the past and present, and ask themselves, ‘how can I make a difference?'" the guidelines explain. "These conversations [about slavery] should lead into discussions about current injustices — particularly those that continue to disenfranchise and oppress the descendants of enslaved people — and possibilities for activism and reform."
In short, public school teachers must prepare their students to take up the mantle of Black Lives Matter.

This is not new... and TEACHERS should know better... our so-called Christian Teachers are teaching this garbage to our children and then going to Church on Sunday and wondering why we are having so much trouble with the next generation? I hate to be this way... but teachers who feed our children this junk need to be held accountable. It is teachers who become superintendents and administration officials that set these policies... it is their UNION who often promote these horrible programs.
Well, its time to inform teachers that they need to refuse to teach this garbage or start private schools to offer our children a choice or suffer shunning ... turn them out. There must be accountability for destroying the lives of our children. Someone tell me what the difference is between a drug dealer poisoning our children and a public education that does the same thing.
Don't leave out the administration and school boards.
The Last School Board Meeting I attended was very eye-opening... visitors were not permitted to make statements unrelated to the topic addressed ... and had only 3 minutes to speak... the agenda did not cover failing public education or curriculum... it was focused on maintenance issues, busing and other matters not directly related to EDUCATING CHILDREN. When parents (few there) brought up curriculum and teaching issues... they were referred to meet with the Staff after the meeting and were told such matters are State Directed issues beyond local control.
Running for the Board of Education in this small town is very cliquish... hardly anyone shows up to vote for board elections ... other than, teachers and administration being the largest block of voters.... go figure, who is elected... it isn't vocal critiques of the system.
Interesting. By design, to keep discussion off of the most important topic. The, possibly, having a dept of Ed might be an advantage if we could deluge DeVos with demands to restore Christian education and true Civics and American history. Or, parents overflow board meetings and demand their right to address the board, and refuse to take no. What else is there? We certainly are not going to burn down buildings like the bottom up movement of BLM.
Since we pay them perhaps the American people should start complaining to the school boards and then up the chain.
Perhaps parents are complaining and being ignored... perhaps parents fear reprisals against their children... which happen... perhaps the public schools are managed by Teachers and they have ruined it... just maybe it isn't the customers who are setting policy or are responsible for the horrible product... outcome-based education has produced. The last time I checked the consumers of retail products are not responsible for the poor quality of the manufactures... resulting in the manufacturer going out of business. Maybe... just maybe the Public Schools need to go out of business as the public shifts to private and homeschooling.
Something needs to change with the way public schools are managed and we need to take this country back from socialism and from new cultures who dislike America. I remember coming to the US to be with Anglo-Saxon people because I love the culture and the state of mind. I invested here first. I met my husband at that exact moment and we went to a Walmart in Fairfax County VA together and I asked him "where are they?" That was a decade ago, and now I'm still asking him, where should we move to, to be surrounded by traditional America. I'm nostalgic about TV shows like Dallas (I'm gonna sound ridiculous now) because the message was: Think Big, be ambitious, work hard and go beyond, there is no limit. In a way, Trump symbolizes this time period, he's a success story and he didn't let banks dictate his outcome, I feel inspired by leaders like him. When we watch what's going on now, in the streets of Portland OR, in our school districts and on TV, we wonder what happened. What happened is the Global Swamp and the socialist democrat mentality that took over.
A good perception. especially the "Global Swamp".
Ronald, I totally agree with you. Squash the teachers unions. They do absolutely nothing to further the education of our children.
