🧵1. Public school educators have the power to teach children empathy, kindness, strength and resilience.

Conversely, DEI inspired educators and books teach children to hate their White friends, and teaches them to mistrust their White teachers.

DEI teaches Black children they are victims.

Are Black and Brown families ok with this?

Here are a few examples from a curriculum platform I was mandated to teach in the Providence Public School District.

I was told to teach from a Black perspective so Black and Brown children could see themselves reflected in the content.

When I raised concerns, I was publicly and personally attacked, called a racist, protested and marginalized. My concern then and now is for the children who are being weaponized by radical Leftists from the federal government down -- to our state department of education. (RIDE)

Meanwhile the Senate ignores the mess in K-12 education, they are complicit in the allowing violence, hatred and racial division to dominate our public schools. Included in this thread are just a few examples form the DEI curriculum platform RIDE approved and Commish Angelica Infante Green mandated:

🧵2. When this is the only perspective children are taught, it ceases to be "culturally appropriate" and it becomes racially divisive.

🧵3. "Write the word Union" "Thumbs up if I say an example of a union. A couple? A hero and a villain? Teachers in the school?"
The seeds of division are sown from Kindergarten to 12th grade.

1/8🧵"The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands" Anne Frank.

Hopefully, President Trump will defund all
anti-American and divisive DEI curricula.

The incoming administration needs to RETURN books like Anne Frank's diary to the classroom.

If you are a teacher in America, then you'll remember during the 2020/21 school year, the following books were thrown out into dumpsters and replaced with woke versions or banned altogether by radical leftist school boards.

I was told NOT to teach "Anne Frank" or any holocaust materials.

American children have a right to this literature. Make education great again.

2/8🧵At the onset of the Biden/Harris administration, all original texts related to the holocaust and more were thrown out or archived.

3/8🧵"Farewell, my pelf, farewell my store...my hope and treasure lies above". Anne Bradstreet.

In 2020, American authors like Anne Bradstreet were wiped out of our K-12 schools.

During that school year, historical texts and literary works were thrown out and banned.

Teachers like me would like American literature back, we need DEI curricula outlawed and defunded.

BTW, read "Upon The Burning Of This House". It's really cool and speaks to America and the spirit of survival.

1/10🧵The communists have taken control of our entire public education system. DEI programs are pushing
anti-capitalism and radical leftist curricula.

Like so many Americans, I am filled with hope today.

But now is not the time to pause or lose sight of the many problems that plague K-12 education.

During the 2020/21 school year, classroom textbooks and novels were thrown out and replaced with curriculum platforms like Media Literacy, Social Justice, Students as Change Agents, Gender and more.

These taxpayer funded platforms include lessons that push leftist ideology onto impressionable young children. All K-12 content mirrors the hateful rhetoric and political ideology we have seen advanced from the Biden Harris regime.

Here are a few examples of from my media literacy program. This K-12 platform is called Project Look Sharp. It is taxpayer funded and it is filled with divisive propaganda.

American families, and our children need help from President Trump who will hopefully make the necessary changes at the U.S Department of Education.

I know I'm not alone when I say that ALL funding for DEI school administration, and DEI curricula needs to come to a full stop.

Lesson: Middle School: Social Justice

2/10🧵Under the guise of teaching English or Social Studies, media literacy throughout the grades reflects lessons like this one.

While capitalism is explained in a negative way, communism is presented in a positive way. If you wonder why so many young people are turning against the nation, look closely at what they are being taught.

3/10🧵Media Literacy claims to teach children how to "decode" media, but that's not what is happening. The media literacy K-12 curriculum fails to teach children how to think critically, instead, from the onset of K-12 education, children are indoctrinated into the United Nations ideology. They are taught to use the following vocabulary.

Instead of beautiful literature and age-appropriate activities, elementary school children learn basic leftist symbols and political agenda items.

This is the gateway to Marxist indoctrination. Children in the 1st grade memorize these symbols.

This ceases to be education. It is indoctrination.

🧵Thread: Marxism in K-12 Schools

Sometime around the Biden/Harris Inauguration Day,

during the 2020/21 school year, DEI textbooks and novels rolled into my school district.
(Providence Schools).

Suddenly our classrooms were swamped with divisive anti-American, racially divisive content that fueled racial animus and activism.

(Pictured on the left)
Hundreds of historically accurate textbooks were thrown into dumpsters behind the school.

(Pictured on the right)
Paperbacks with cartoon images depicting only racially divisive images and narratives came into our classrooms en masse. Children learned quickly to resent and fear America.

Teaching CRT to children in K-12 schools should be a felony.

🧵Thread

Since 2020/21 school year to present day, perfectly good curriculum platforms and textbooks have been banned or thrown out.

I was mandated along with teachers across the country to teach DEI cartoon-style paperbacks that advanced racial division and anti-Western sentiment.

On the left: Anthologies like Prentice Hall "American Literature" were thrown out into dumpsters.
and replaced with pictures, pamphlet style books, lesson plans and teacher training materials that divided children by the color of their skin. Hundreds of cartoon paperbacks like the one on the right flooded our classrooms.

This happened with the Biden/Harris administration; they switched gears on American families then used children as political pawns.

🧵Thread

In Rhode Island, hundreds of cartoon style picture books were brought into our classrooms depicting White people as violent aggressors, while ALL people of color were depicted as victims.

History was distorted and the classroom became a tool for the Biden/Harris education administration to usher in a race war intent on dismantling K-12 education and American culture.

1.🧵We cannot have another 4 years of this DEI-driven mindset in our schools. Children are being harmed and parents are their only defense.

7 hours a day, five days a week, 189 days a year, your children will receive inappropriate information from the curriculum, the school library, school policies, and their teachers.

In this thread, I've included a few examples of what your children see, read and hear throughout the day and throughout the school year.
Sexually charged messaging is everywhere. Parents beware.

2.🧵Rhode Island senator Tiara Mack wanted to mandate the teaching of "Pleasurable Sex-Education" in our schools.

When asked what the children will learn, Mack had this to say: "We'll be talking about masturbation...anal sex, oral sex...".

3. 🧵Tiverton School District in Rhode Island has posters like this one throughout the 5th grade through 8th grade hallways.

🧵Middle School Health Lesson: "After Harley's little brother has gone to bed, Harley starts kissing Drew"....I want to do more than kiss, what do you say?"

"Everyone our age is having sex. What's the big deal?"

This lesson-activity is from North Kingstown's approved health curriculum titled HealthSmart ETR.

Parents, are you ok with another four years of this garbage?

🧵"But it's better without a condom"
"And they make out until Jessie passes out"

This is an approved middle school lesson from North Kingstown School District.

Terrible!

🧵Instead of evidence based health instruction, children in Rhode Island "hunt for condoms" in exchange for a grade.

Homeschool your children!
