SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEES
It’s a Biblical-universal truth unity = strength while division = weakness. Christ himself affirmed, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand." Ignoring truth, Democrats nevertheless continue promoting wicked policies such as gender confusion, abortion, disarming law-abiding citizens, and more that only leads to further division through ever-growing anger and weakness throughout our state and country.
Tuesday last week in the Education Finance Committee, Democrats held a bill hearing on SF 619, chief authored by the Democrat Chair of the committee. SF 619 seeks to perpetuate the manufactured lie of ongoing institutional racism. I’ve included four definitions below I pulled directly from SF 619 which highlight just how poison-filled the Democrat bill is.
The below Democrat definition of ethnic studies curriculum from SF 619 seeks to lie to K-12 students that racism is actively pervasive throughout society…that there is a racist boogieman behind every tree. Moreover, the Democrat definition of ethnic includes gender, sexual orientation, and immigration status which have zero precisely zero connection to ethnicity.
(e) "Ethnic studies curriculum" means the critical and interdisciplinary study of race,
ethnicity, and indigeneity with a focus on the experiences and perspectives of People of
Color within and beyond the United States. Ethnic studies analyzes the ways in which race
and racism have been and continue to be powerful social, cultural, and political forces, and
the connection of race to the stratification of other groups, including stratification based on
gender, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, and legal status. The ethnic studies
curriculum may be integrated in existing curricular opportunities or provided through
additional curricular offerings.
The below Democrat definition of antiracist from SF 619 seeks to lie to K-12 students that to be opposed to racism requires one to be in favor of Marxist redistribution of private property wealth and resources. There is a big difference between equality and equity and the difference is the reason Democrats deliberately use the term equity and not equality. Equity = equal outcome whereas Equality = equal opportunity.
(f) "Antiracist" means actively working to identify and eliminate racism in all forms so
that power and resources are redistributed and shared equitably among racial groups.
The below Democrat definition of culturally sustaining from SF 619 seeks to lie to K-12 students that non-white people share a common culture and language. There is no such thing as a shared black culture, shared Hispanic culture, shared Asian culture, etc. Being a minority myself, married to a minority, and having traveled to multiple countries throughout the world, I have first-hand experience even within a single African country there are multiple cultures and languages. Zero agenda currently exists within MN schools to erase anybody.
(g) "Culturally sustaining" means integrating content and practices that infuse the culture
and language of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities who have been and
continue to be harmed and erased through schooling.
The below Democrat definition of institutional racism from SF 619 seeks to lie to K-12 students that institutions across our society are radically racist toward minorities. It is pure poison to pump a mindset into the heads of young people they are victims of their circumstance and products of external forces. Young people are very impressionable compounding the truth perception becomes reality. We already see the impact occurring to young people…skyrocketing rates of depression and suicide. Instead, we need to empower young people by teaching them they are NOT victims…that they indeed are overcomers when faced with challenges in life.
(h) "Institutional racism" means structures, policies, and practices within and across
institutions that produce outcomes that chronically favor white people and disadvantage
those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
If SF 619 weren’t bad enough, Wednesday last week, SF 1311 was heard in the Senate Education Policy Committee. SF 1311 is chief authored the Democrat Chair of that committee and the bill contains the exact same poisonous definitions as SF 619. Democrats are on a rampage to warp the minds of children instilling suspension and anger toward their fellow human beings.
