Jim Bratten
Our young are taught to hate the nation that protects their liberty and hate those who built it, including their parents. They’ve learned to deplore the system that has sustained our freedom for over two centuries and given us unrivaled prosperity. They are told to despise anyone who believes ideas different than what they absorbed from their progressive curriculum. Tolerance of others is unacceptable and those that hold the Christian faith are to be particularly shunned and demeaned. Our children are taught to hate; expressing outrage at “trigger” words or certain actions. Instructed to loathe critical thought, they are isolated from the acquisition of knowledge.
Speaking of hate, Jim Crow is making a comeback in New York City schools. Educators in NYC say there’s a “racial inequity” problem in their system and, to remedy it, they will institute “implicit bias” training. There are also “forbidden words” and “White Supremacist Phrases.” These words trigger rage and aggression in students who are thoroughly indoctrinated: perfectionism, objectivity, individualism, defensiveness, and the phrase, “sense of urgency.” Those who use these are deemed bigots and racists. The insanity of political correctness grows more dangerous by the day, now threatening the ability of students to even engage in discussion.
Progressive “educators” make decisions based solely on race – not skill, knowledge, or academic ability. NYC will spend $73 million for anti-bias training for teachers, where they are told to favor black students over others. This “racial inequity” training is not to level the field for all; it’s to advantage one group of students over others. Pure identity politics, it touches everything progressives do and advances their goal of racial chaos and division. And once they create the problem, it’s managed, never solved; the damage left to fester.
Robin DiAngelo/White Fragility
Another demented book is heading to our education system: White Fragility (Why it’s so hard for White People to talk about Racism) by Robin DiAngelo. The National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest teachers’ union, recently passed a resolution that this book be used in every teacher training session. (At the sane time, the NEA rejected a measure to commit to excellence in teaching.)
Progressives are introducing college-style indoctrination in K-12 education, demanding establishment of an anti-racism curriculum in every public school. As we enjoy Independence Day, government schools nationwide are adopting a Black Lives Matter curriculum, which actually uses racism. (And you thought Marxism is only taught at the college-level…)
Teachers were told in NYC public schools that objectivity and individualism represent “white supremacy culture.” A Virginia school district includes White Fragility and other books regarding race on its summer reading list. More racial indoctrination is coming to classrooms near you as more minions are trained to protest and disrupt. Your local public school is rapidly becoming a racial propaganda mill.
All this is perfect preparation for Occupy, Black Lives Matter and Antifa careers in violent community organizing for 
radical mayhem and anarchist chaos. We saw it in Madison, Wisconsin back in 2011, when public school teachers set an example for their young, impressionable students by showing them how to protest in the state capitol’s rotunda and how to deface public property in the most visually shocking manner. No common sense or thinking skills are necessary; hold a sign, chant, protest, use spray paint. One doesn’t even have to spell correctly, as seen by the signs Madison teachers made for their students to carry.
Just torch police cars, loot stores, and harass and threaten citizens who don’t share your ideology. The ignorant kids think they are helping the victims of “bigotry.” And their teachers never educate them in the ability to reason otherwise.
