@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 I made WhatAreTheyLearning.com for this reason. Not only is there so much indoctrination in the 13,000 school districts that even a superhero like @ConceptualJames can't keep track of it all, but parents can't rely on outsiders to save them. Parents have to, er, "do the work."
@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 Professional activists have been running asymmetrical warfare on schools. They know how to work the obscure levers of power, and they have templates that they deploy. Regular people are confused and overwhelmed. This site builds community and shares info, but it's parent-powered.
@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 Schools count on the fact that most people don't know what's going on in classrooms, and if they find out, it's kind of ephemeral, lost in the flood. It needs to be documented in one place for perpetuity. The site can do that, and make it easier for parents to take the first step
@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 I'm not sure schools care about doing the right thing, but they do care immensely about avoiding embarassment. And their own lesson plans, with no added commentary, are enough to be embarassing. Almost no one agrees with it. But everyone's hoping someone else will speak out.
@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 This site lets parents anonymously take the first step by sharing what's being taught. Others see it on the district-specific profile page. Then some should raise the issue in school board meetings, and believe their own eyes versus the jargon and euphemisms they will be met with
@ConceptualJames@MattFre29255087 After I wrote stories about "equity" in schools, many parents starting expressing their shock and fear to me, and asking for help. I wanted to help. But I knew they if they weren't taking action themselves locally, it wouldn't be enough. I wanted to help them help themselves.

Hours after Fairfax County teachers voted to join Randi Weingarten's union, the school board announced that elementary school will now be part-time, with many Mondays half days-an impossibility for working parents, but making less work for teachers.
The shocking move, signaling that schools exist to serve staff rather than to educate students, comes after recent Democrat legislation allowed unionization in Virginia. They are doubling down after lying that they were unusually at risk of COVID to refuse to work for a year
Unions were developed as a way for workers to bargain against management. But this is not that: the school board was elected through the campaigning of union members, and openly said it was fully on their side. There’s no one on the other side of the table.
.@realchrisrufo and I have discovered the most egregious case of plagiarism yet: the DEI czar at UCLA School of Medicine, which blamed opiates on "whiteness," had doctors praise "revolutionary suicide," taught about "two-spirits," and led a class in chanting "Free Palestine."
@realchrisrufo Natalie Perry is tasked with "embedding" her values in the med school's "DNA" as the leader of the DEI program Cultural North Star. But she couldn't even write that in her bio without illiterate errors ("North Stars [sic] value [sic]"). So: Did this person actually earn a PhD?
No. UCLA says Perry's job is to teach med students to "do what's right," saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.” In fact, Perry is both unethical and incompetent, and her academic career is built on brazen fraud.
The Dept of Veterans Affairs' DEI unit is a “hostile, toxic work environment” where multiple layers of managers sexually harassed subordinates & covered it up, and 9 people routinely did the work of 1 person, a shocking internal probe found.
VA has done the most insane DEI stunts in the gov, banning the V-J kiss photo & pushing to deny benefits to suicidal whites in the name of racial equity. But the report said that its DEI officials were themselves racist, sexist, and "self-aggrandizing," and should be fired
At one point a manager fired another manager because both of them wanted to sexually harass the same subordinate. Top officials sat on complaints, partly because they thought only a black person could investigate a black person for misconduct, and couldn't find one.
A spokeswoman for the mayor said the fiscal crisis was caused by illegals being unable to work, therefore being a drain on the taxpayer through social services. She said that the city has considered solving that by paying them full-time salaries to work for the city.
Though on the surface it makes little sense to reduce the taxpayer burden by giving someone a full-time taxpayer salary, she said salaries were "not necessarily" more expensive than social services. It told its existing hourly workforce this week to prepare to be moved to 0 hours
New Arrest Highlights How Italy Concealed Migrant Rape By Framing Amanda Knox
In retrospect, the Knox case reads like European government concealing a sick rape by a migrant by inventing an absurd tale about a seductress from Seattle--and imprisoning her
The “trial of the century” that gripped the media beginning in 2007 looks very different since it has become clear that European governments have let in hordes of migrants and then covered up their crime sprees — and punished Westerners who called attention to the problem.
The reality, easily proven from the earliest days, is that Ivory Coast migrant Rudy Guede broke into a house, sadistically raped British college student Meredith Kercher, defecated in her bathroom, and darted out into the night to go dancing at a nightclub.
FBI's Washington Field Office explicitly made the decision to let a child pornographer go free to focus on January 6 defendants, they admitted in court docs.
He went on to be caught with a 10-year old boy by authorities in Alaska.
The FBI had a slam-dunk case. The pervert, “gayboy69freak," had sent its undercover agent child porn & arranged to rape the agent's fictitious 9yo child.
But “this investigation was halted due to events that occurred at the United States Capitol” on Jan 6, court documents say.
The court docs only exist because the FBI's Alaska office independently caught him in sick behavior later--then realized their DC colleagues had evidence they didn't act on.
Alaska located him allegedly living with a 10yo boy, in a room filled with "sex toys" sized for a 10yo.
