Ridiculous Reading Lists
Book banning lies debunked.
Last fall, the Montgomery County School Board in Maryland announced new “inclusivity” books as part of an English language arts curriculum designed for elementary-school students. The books were not technically designated as sex-education materials, despite the fact they addressed sexual orientation and gender-identity issues.
This month, a group of Montgomery County Schools parents filed a federal lawsuit against the Montgomery County Board of Education, alleging it had improperly reversed its policy of allowing parents to opt their children out of sensitive reading materials. A report by the Washington Post revealed school officials had defended the flip-flop by citing “Maryland law, which only allows opt-opt provisions for sex education programs.”
One book included in the list is Pride Puppy, by Robin Stevenson and Julie McLaughlin. According to the lawsuit, the book “invites 3- and 4-year-olds to look for images of things they might find at a pride parade, including an ‘intersex [flag],’ a ‘[drag] king’ and ‘[drag] queen,’ ‘leather,’ ‘underwear,’ and an image of a celebrated LGBTQ activist and sex worker, ‘Marsha P. Johnson.’”
The silver lining to COVID lockdowns was Zoom classrooms opening the eyes of many parents to the perverted propaganda being forced on children. Now more than ever, parents need to band together to reject the inclusion of obscene books in schools that contain sexually explicit material.
Anti-CRT Action
The Temecula Valley Unified School District in California recently hired an anti-CRT consultant after the district prohibited the teaching of CRT in its classrooms in December. The program is reported to consist of six sessions lasting two hours each, engage 13 people per session including staff and administrators, and would occur during the school day. The district-wide CRT ban previously led to student-led walkouts and protests at Temecula Valley, Great Oak and Chaparral high schools.
Liberals love to say CRT "isn't being taught" in the classroom. The lie that CRT is not being taught in schools is one of the most deceiving narratives. It is absolutely being taught in schools across the country, in red and blue counties alike. 1776 Project PAC has exposed numerous instances of CRT in classrooms and has continued to support school board candidates who will fight to put parents first and eliminate CRT from the classroom.
Viva Las Lawsuits
Parents are increasingly being targeted and attacked – even labeled as terrorists – for protecting the rights of their children in school settings, but what is happening to the kids is even worse. A Nevada school district is being sued by two parents of students attending the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts after their children were allegedly required to read a "pornographic" monologue that was barred from being read at a school board meeting, according to the lawsuit. Candra Evans and Terrell Evans filed the lawsuit against the district, Superintendent Dr. Jesus Jara, the teacher and others over allegations of “unlawful grooming and abuse of a minor” involving the “pornographic material.”
The teacher assigned a class of 15-year-olds to each write a monologue and then perform another student’s writing, the lawsuit said. Students were told to pick up a folded script from a pile, blindly, and could only reject a script one time with no exceptions. The monologue assigned to the teenagers “contained explicit, obscene and sexually violent material,” the lawsuit said. “[The teacher] helped the other student edit their obscenely violent pornographic monologue knowing it would then be provided to another student to read, memorize and perform in front of the class,” the lawsuit claims. The entire explicit monologue can be found here.
Public schools are entrusted with millions of children across the United States; and we should expect, at a minimum, they will not sexualize children in the name of education.
One County at a Time
Who you vote for for school board will be among the most important decisions you make in future elections. Staying home means surrendering your classrooms to CRT and allowing sexually explicit materials in libraries. Register to vote on time, learn about local school board candidates, and show up to vote on election day. Together, we can continue this trend of parents pushing back against what they see as problematic education and making sure they have a say in their children's schooling.
I’m a veteran public school teacher in the SF Bay Area. CRT was taught in our teachers professional development training programs for years prior to the virus across many CA school districts.
Social emotional learning, Mindfulness, Culturally Responsive discipline, grading and instruction was dripped into our tracings for years and years.
I retired from a career that taught kindergarten kids to read, write, compute beyond expectations so I would not be an emotional, medical, institutional abuser in the fall of 2021.
Today I am informing others on the lies and true agendas of the education system and their co- conspirators in politics, medicine, therapy and civic life.
