D.C. Public Schools’ New Curriculum Turns Social Studies Into Social Justice, Sexual Perversion

Elementary schoolchildren in Washington, D.C., will be taught not tradition but gender identity, systemic racism, and white privilege.

While Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to reestablish some semblance of sanity in the Sunshine State’s education system, the District of Columbia’s Board of Education is doubling down on wokeism.

According to a Feb. 12 article in The Washington Post, the city’s public school system — serving 96,000 students — is preparing to roll out a new social studies curriculum for the 2024-2025 school year that will eliminate what one school board member called “problematic” and “archaic” material. A closer look at the proposed revisions serves as Exhibit A for why parents need to follow what’s happening in their children’s schools.

Sexual and Racial Radicalism
Amazingly, D.C. officials aren’t hiding how truly radical they aim to make the city’s social studies curriculum. Kindergarteners will learn how to understand their “gender identities,” as well as “identify different kinds of family structures, including single-parent, grandparent-headed, multiracial and LGBTQ+,” according to the Post.

First graders currently learn “to identify symbols and traditions associated with the United States” and to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. But that will seemingly be scrapped in favor of learning how “one can work together to achieve a shared goal,” which sounds suspiciously like a means of encouraging activism rather than citizenship.

In case you think such fears seem conspiratorial, consider that under the old curriculum, second graders learned how a person “becomes a U.S. citizen and what it takes to be a good citizen,” but under the new curriculum, there will instead be a “special focus” on “the geography of Indigenous nations,” presumably so students will be well equipped to perform land acknowledgments. And in case that seems conspiratorial, consider that third graders will be taught the “contributions of Piscataway and Pamunkey peoples to the D.C. region.”

It just gets more bizarre. Third graders will “discuss the importance of ‘affirming spaces,’ which are safe places for people to express their identities,” as well as “the Home Rule movement and discuss how a lack of statehood affects residents.”

No one should allow their children to be exposed to public schooling anymore.

That's not always an option for everyone.  However, anyone who does have children in public school, and anyone who cares what is taught in public school, needs to be constantly engaged with the struggle against this b.s.  And this goes all the way down to attending school budget hearings and going through massive documents with a fine-tooth comb to find where the b.s. is hidden.

It also means picking carefully where one chooses to live, and making an investigation of the local schools the first priority in deciding where to live, not the last priority.

It's never too early for parasitic public employees, Marxist revolutionaries and queer freaks to latch onto you children.

If you can, keep them out of public schools. If you can't, make sure you have access to the curriculum, go to school board meetings and keep in touch with other parents.

I think it's several years old, actually. It's just now being discovered by some.

You’d think after being shut out of school for nearly two years and having the lowest test scores in decades, American kids would have some catching up to do in the classroom… instead they’re bringing in the drag queens.
