🔥CA’s 2nd largest school district San Diego Unified proposes $77 million ($46 mi. from COVID-19 windfalls) for “Ethnic Studie for All” & anti-racism in ALL core disciplines, professional learning & District leadership. District red guards are instructed to deny any trace of CRT.

2/ SDUSD red guards think that parents could be easily fooled by fancy code words like “critical self-awareness,” “social-emotional learning”... It is installing “Site Equity Teams” to enforce ABAR. But parents are waking 🆙 At least 4 community groups in SD are moving fast...

3/Just ponder this line--- "center student identity and cultural wealth in mathematics to support the ethnic studies initiative." Can you believe your own 👀? It is just a starter for SDUSD's faithful engagement with CRT and you are in for a treat...

@DefendingEd

@DefendingEd @PACTstopcrt @Moms4Liberty @TeacherMeyers @ReopenCASchools 4/SDUSD’s lead Ethnic Studies educator is Guillermo Gomez, who has publicly pledged his allegiance to @UniondelBarrio and UdB’s educational arm Association of Raza Educators (ARE). UdB is a fringe political organization with a goal of working towards a “political revolution”...

5/ & “the fundamental liberation of all raza, from Chile to Alaska.” UdB's is aimed at “the destruction of capitalism and imperialism” and demands its members to “collectively self-identify as revolutionary working class militants engaged in a global struggle for socialism.” 🇻🇪🇨🇺

6/ Since 2013, UdB has launched campaigns to help its members get elected to school boards and influence the state legislative process to propagate critical ethnic studies to advance its political agenda. SDUSD risks its $77 mi. being hijacked by activists for liberation...

@realchrisrufo

7/Union del Barrio has backed the following inter-connected groups:
-Save CA Ethnic Studies
-Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Coalition
-Ethnic Studies Now Coalition

All are frontmen for UdB, working to sell a state rejected anti-Semitic CRT model. @realchrisrufo

8/These activist groups support ethnic studies as “a form of liberation” and a pedagogy of “transformational resistance.” Around 2015, they started a "People's Campaign" to pressure SDUSD to adopt ethnic studies courses.

9/Rather than standing up to these extortionists, SDUSD caved in, adopting an ethnic studies resolution in March 2015. Its "stylish" ES website (sdusdethnicstudies.weebly.com) features "land acknowledgement" and the "IN LAK'ECH" chant on the homepage.

10/To recap, SDUSD is pledging $77 mi. of taxpayer funds for CRT re-education, a plan infiltrated by a fringe political organization with revolutionary ambitions of racial liberation. To cover its behind, SDUSD denies any CRT. But the 🦆 test tells us this is 100% CRT.

🙈 The Governing Board at Paloma College in San Diego is pushing for a DEI reform with:
1. Unconstitutional preferences: black space, diverse hiring of black faculty, extra support for “LatinX/ESL/undocumented” students.
2. Ethnic studies requirement.
3. Anti-racism foundation.

2/ CRT puritans want to distance their academic altar from its real-life applications. But look at the mushrooming DEI/racial equity/anti-racism craze--- can you honestly say that ideas have no consequences?!
Doesn't the fist in the call to action button remind you of this⬇️⬇️?

@FreeBlckThought

3/ 👀 at the "New Instructional Projects" slide--- 10 ethnic studies courses, land acknowledgment, and gender pronoun project?! Is this how California wants to invest part of the $48.7 billion of COVID windfall earmarked for higher ed? Taxpayers need to know! @FreeBlckThought

🧵The Nueva School in Bay Area, tuition $30-50k, is going all in for CRT: it has an Anti-racist Strategy, a Task Force on Racial Equity & Accountability w. "a specific focus on the Black community," and it's in need of a "constructivist" middle school math teacher...

@ConceptualJames

2/The math teacher must "demonstrate a commitment to social justice, equity and inclusion through pedagogy and incorporate an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens into teaching practice." @ConceptualJames Do you have students that fit the profile?

@ConceptualJames

@ConceptualJames 3/So assuming an average Nueva student is not deprived (tuition just below the median US household income), I wonder what the school admin is using as evidence of systemic oppression to justify its mission to become an "anti-racist" institution. 🤯

☠️ If the "rebuttal" to CRT's "race essentialism" is the notion that race is a social construct, is "abolishing the white race" then just an abolitionist (not racial) practice to decenter Enlightenment values associated with social whiteness? Does this make it less racist?

2/In other words, does the excuse justify a revolutionary end goal to transform power to the racialized oppressed via a puritan purge of "white supremacist" ideas such as individualism, hard-work, merit, rationality... ? Isn't associating these ideas with whiteness racist?

3/What if the purge requires attacking fundamental liberal values upon which our civilization was forged, which has clearly been the case with the end goal--a power grab? Intersectionality, social constructs, lived experience... pale in terms of relevance and consequence.

🔥 🧵🧵🧵The latest victim of the cancel culture, woke mob: Los Altos Councilwoman Lynette Lee Eng has been openly targeted, harassed and threatened by a local activist group called Justice Vanguard since November 2020, after refusing to vote for an anti-police proposal.

2/ On 11/24, Ms. Lee Eng received this text from the group leader: "Your name is going to be all over the papers. We know there are racists that supported you.” Since then, Justice Vanguard warriors have called into every Los Altos City Council meetings to bully & insult her.

3/On 12/08, Kenan Moos--Supreme Leader of Justice Vanguard called in: "Lynette, Lynette, Lynette, it has now been two weeks since you criminalized Justice Vanguard and me, two weeks since you joined the Karen's of America with your continued, denigration of black people..."

🔥What’s worse than socialized medicine? 🌀CRT medicine! The American Medical Association recently released an 86-page strategic plan and a 3-year roadmap to dismantle “structural and institutional racism” through 5 equity-centered approaches. 👏👏👏Committee of Public Health?

@TheLancet

AMA is following 🐾 of @TheLancet & @StanfordMed to actively engage CRT. The plan calls for racial and social justice throughout the AMA enterprise culture, systems, policies, and practices and racial healing, reconciliation and transformation in its racially discriminatory past.

AMA will promote policies that eliminate “racial essentialism” and “empower physicians and health systems to dismantle... intersecting systems of oppression.” This will surely exacerbate racial achievement gaps in medical education partly due to long-standing racial preferences.

Government-funded neo-racism taking place now in Eanes Independent School District. Alumni and students speak out against lack of divesting in curriculum due to a lack of black authors. ⁦@ConceptualJames⁩ ⁦@DefendingEd⁩ ⁦@burns_law⁩

@FreeBlckThought

“We designed the surveys on race because we felt that was the issue in the district.” “The focus on anti-racism is in response to what we discovered.” @FreeBlckThought @Moms4Liberty @realchrisrufo

@CharlesNegy

“In my 15 years working in Eanes ISD, I have never had an incident with targeting students by skin color, or making students feel bad for their race...” said a school board official. Yet “there is a race problem.” Double standards? @CharlesNegy @AurelianofRome @LegInsurrection
