𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑻 4a 𝑺𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑺 𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫: How a Wealthy Billionaire is influencing local politics playing shell games in collaboration with elected officials in @austintexasgov

Yesterday we broke down @leadershipatx board members and some of their alumni.

Today we are going to look at what they are teaching.

@Mayoradlers Task Force on Institutional Racism & Systemic Inequities approved "Beyond Diversity"

This course was implemented back in 2019

@MayorAdler and his task force hired "Courageous Conversations" aka Pacific Educational Group in 2017 to teach city employees "Beyond Diversity" education.

Totaling $60,300, before @leadershipatx adopted the training into their program.

Previous CEO Christopher Kennedy of @leadershipatx was also a board member of Courageous Conversation Global Foundation (@CCAboutRace) which promotes #BeyondDiversity training.

The same training course that is being sold at #Leadershipatx

Marcus Moore worked for Courageous Conversation from 2015 - 2021

He received his Master's in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University, @GonzagaU is one of the universities partnered with @TeachForAmerica the organization pushing @WEF's Education 4.0 Alliance agenda

Glenn E. Singleton (@courageousdove) founded Pacific Educational Group Inc. in 1992 & became registered with the California Secretary of State Jan 4, 1994, which later became known as Courageous Conversation (@CCAboutRace)

Between 2010-2015 42 school districts across the nation paid Pacific Educational Group over $3.9 million in "education material"

In 2016 the National School Boards Association @NSBAPublicEd & Urban Boards of Education @CUBE_NSBA featured Glenn at their annual conference

Sep 18th 2020 @FortWorthISD published an "Overview of services provided by the division of equity & excellence" which included an introduction to Critical Race Theory which was based on the material they purchased from Pacific Educational Group Inc. (#PEG)

In 2016 Superintendent Scribner signed a 5-year agreement w/ #PEG a $1.3 million contract

Also creating Foundations for Racial Equity in Education (F.R.E.E.) a 2 day in-person training for teachers to attend and learn racial equity work in #FWISD

#PEG’s format trains our leadership and staff to reflect on their own racial experiences allows for their racial awakening to be scaffolded in order to address systemic barriers within the district.

Back to @AustinISD

@DrLAW2012 worked for courageous conversations from 2015-2020 before founding "Race-Works" in 2020

Where she taught "racial equity leadership" at @AustinCrockett @McCallumHS & @Ohenryms

But remember they aren't teaching #CRT in schools

Angela Ward @2wardequity was the Cultural Proficiency & Restorative Practices administrator at @AISD_SEL_CPI until 2021

Prior to that she was on the board of directors for "Learning Forward TX" @LearnTexas is a chapter of @LearningForward

Angela believes CRT is #AntiRacistEd

@AustinISD went as far as to ensure that "equity and cultural proficiency" are woven into the fabric of #AISD's Culture

@LearningForward has partnered with @courageousdove, including articles from Glenn Singleton and other equity leaders in their lesson plans.

The primary benefactor funding this is the @gatesfoundation

@TeachForAmerica the @wef organization also promotes "Courageous Conversations"

Angela Ward likes to promote @educationweek, a left-wing news organization that claims to be non-partisan.

#Educationweek has been promoting @TeachForAmerica since 2011

@educationweek is funded by multiple "philanthropists"

Their primary donors are:
@gatesfoundation: Bill & Melinda Gates @ChanZuckerberg: Mark Zuckerberg @NoVoFoundation: Warren Buffet/George Soros
