BLACK LIVES MATTER IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS TURNING KIDS INTO LITTLE MARXIST

School systems across the country are adopting BLM curriculum at an
alarming rate, indoctrinating our children to achieve Marxist objectives.

New York City [3] is one of many school systems in the United States set
to roll out Black Lives Matter (BLM)-themed lesson plans this fall.
According to the NYC Department of Education, teachers will delve into
"systemic racism," police brutality, and white privilege in their
classrooms.

North Carolina's largest school system in Wake County launched a website
[4] this summer that provides BLM lessons for teachers to use in classrooms
and for parents to use at home. The website, created by the school system's
Office of Equity Affairs, encourages teachers to "address the injustices
that exist beyond education by the conversations we have with others, by
speaking up when we see hate, by supporting efforts that oppose racism and
oppression, and by directly engaging in advocacy work."

Encouraging people to identify and condemn racism is an undeniably
laudable undertaking by these school administrators. That's not what's
really happening, however. By bringing BLM into the classroom, activist
educators are allowing the most radically divisive movement in modern
American history to warp children's worldviews.

Wake County's BLM teaching resource is dressed up as a legitimate civics
education resource, complete with tips for fostering civil discourse and a
section on teaching historical facts about America's civil rights movement.
But closer inspection reveals it to be a deliberate Trojan Horse conceived
to incubate, amplify, and channel the movement's attitudes for political
ends.

The site lays out a cult-like recruiting process for students to follow.
Step one: Recognize your white privilege. Step two: Learn the dos and
don'ts of being an ally. Step three: Recruit more members to learn steps
one and two.

Step three of the recruitment process posits, "Racial equity
accountability must be tied to specific outcomes." What, exactly, are these
outcomes? The obvious answer is activism on behalf of the BLM movement.

Splashed across the homepage of the Wake County School System's website is
BLM founder Patrisse Cullors. It is puzzling that a self-proclaimed
"trained Marxist [5]," such as Cullors, would be a role model for the
school system's anti-hatred, anti-oppression curriculum. Do these school
administrators realize that Karl Marx's road to utopia led to millions of
deaths at the hands of tyrants?

But it's not only Cullors' Marxist bona fides that's troubling. In a 2018
Democracy Now! interview [6], Cullors boasted about receiving training from
Eric Mann, former member of the Weather Underground charged with attempted
murder of police officers in Boston back in 1969. The domestic terror group
Weather Underground is responsible for multiple terrorist bombings at the
U.S. Capitol, the State Department, and the Pentagon during the 1960s and
'70s.

Since being a terror-sympathizing Marxist doesn't disqualify Cullors from
being the poster girl for new school curricula, her history of antisemitism
surely will not deter administrators. Cullors is a vocal anti-Israel
activist [7] and close ally of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. She
accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing and racial brutality. Cullors organized
a BLM event in Los Angeles on May 30, during which five synagogues were
vandalized [8] with graffiti that read "Free Palestine" and "F-ck Israel,"
as were three Jewish schools.

Many forget the BLM platform is antisemitic. The movement's architects
falsely claim [9] there is a link between American police brutality and the
Arab-Israeli conflict. The manifesto's reference to the Jewish occupation
of Israel as "genocide" has outraged [10] many Jewish BLM supporters,
including Jonathan Greenblatt, executive director of the Anti-Defamation
League. Rolling out the BLM platform in classrooms will surely have Jewish
parents questioning school administrators' commitment to combatting
antisemitism.

KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools has its own plan to "work towards an
anti-racist agenda." Jessica Cunningham Akoto, CEO of the charter school
network KIPP Philadelphia, wrote a letter [11] outlining its new plan to
focus on "learning mindsets and practices rooted in Black liberation."

Black liberation is a Marxist [12] 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 liberation theology's most prominent devotee is President Barack
Obama's former spiritual leader Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who famously summed
up the movement from his Chicago pulpit: "No, no, no, not God bless
America! God d-mn America -- that's in the Bible -- for killing innocent
people."

The financial backers of the BLM movement, such as the Ford Foundation and
George Soros' Open Society Foundations, no doubt recognize the value of
infiltrating the understructure of our educational system. Through
partnering with BLM, school systems across the country are indoctrinating
our children to achieve Marxist objectives.
