Please read, amplify and promote.

If you haven’t reviewed the proposed curriculum, please do so.

This is an attempt at society wide indoctrination and the promotion of white Christian patriarchal hierarchy. Without question.

My shock and dismay is is echoed by thousands who are reeling in fear of our civilization’s future if this gets implemented.

This curriculum will negate the gains made by indigenous peoples, women, LGBTQ, immigrants & POC in one fell swoop.

The curriculum completely removes the experiences, successes and struggles of a large portion of the public and replaces it with a whitewashed rosy view of male patriarchal hierarchy backed by Protestant church dogma.

I started school at Parkdale Elementary/Junior High in 1973. The school used Dick and Jane books to learn to read. Dick and Jane were the whitest white kids I’d ever seen.

Thank god I already knew how to read.

This curriculum is far worse.

Elementary education curriculum research has come a long way since 1973.

This curriculum erases any of those gains. Far worse than Dick and Jane learn to read series, this curriculum seeks to erase contemporary culture and revert to a homogenous mythical past.

Children and parents knew in 1973 that Dick and Jane represented what was expected. That we didn’t measure up to the expectation was bad enough.

What this curriculum does is erase the gains made in cultural diversity and tolerance since 1973.

When I was exposed to those books they were on their way out. But they were written about 50 years prior to my first year in school. The cultural and social norms they portrayed were already antiquated by the time I saw them.

Teachers and students knew the books were “old fashioned” when they were being used in 1973.

The curriculum changes proposed represent the cultural and social norms of the Gilded Age. But the cultural and social expectations they propose are being represented as contemporary.

This is indoctrination. The provincial government is attempting to indoctrinate students with cultural and social norms and expectations in a curriculum that is a century old. If not older.

The curriculum is similar to classical education that was offered in schools a century ago. It’s also used by Christian Homeschoolers contemporaneously.

The other source for this curriculum rewrite is Catholic classical curriculum

Here is an essay on Catholic Classical Liberal Curriculum (classic liberal = libertarianism; not modern liberalism).

Read the essay, then review the AB curriculum changes.

It’s obvious what the intent of this curriculum rewrite is: to indoctrinate.

I have been screaming into the Twitter verse for 4 years trying to warn people who UCP actually represents. It is NOT the average Albertan.

UCP are mainly (50 out of 67) Christian Nationalists who are aiming to redesign society so it’s palatable to evangelical Christians.

This plan to “Christianize” the world is being conducted throughout North America, South America, Australia/NZ, Europe, parts of Africa and Asia.

This is really happening. I have not been hyperbolizing or exaggerating. This is a global plan. It’s called the Great Commission.

Millions of people across the globe have been pulled into the movement.

Christian Nationalists, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists. All part of the same movement.

The Dominionist Christian Political Movement.

Article from 1970 explains it.

evangelical-times.org/25471/dominion…

This movement was described 51 years ago in this article. But it reads like the article was written yesterday.

Ponder that for a moment. This movement has been operating for at least 51 years. Millions of evangelicals receiving weekly instruction to install God’s Kingdom.

Kenney is 52 years old. He’s been immersed in evangelical Dominionism his entire life. Most of the UCP MLAs have been as well.

The curriculum rewrite is an attempt at society wide indoctrination of the Dominionist political agenda on our children.

Evangelicals have known for awhile that the secret to life long fundamentalist beliefs is to teach them to children as early as possible.

By the time they reach adulthood, their minds are closed to any other options.

That’s the foundations behind this curriculum.

I know the word fascism scares people. Immediately it conjures up Nazis and the epitome of evil.

Fascism is a set of behaviours. Nazis were one example.

UCP and modern Canadian Dominionist Christian conservatism is another.

UCP are NOT Nazis. (Maybe some are, but that’s not what fascism means).

But UCP are clearly using fascist policies to reshape Albertan society to reflect their ideology, beliefs and Christian values as informed by the Dominionist agenda.

WE NEED TO STOP FASCISM FROM ADVANCING NOW!
