I hope the parents win this one.
California parents file lawsuit to stop curriculum that makes kids pray to Aztec gods Three parents filed a lawsuit accusing the California state school curriculum of violating the U.S. Constitution over an Ethnic Studies lesson that asks kids to pray and chant to Aztec gods.
"Our clients are not opposed to having students learn about different cultures and religions, including the practices of the Aztecs," said Paul Jonna, special counsel at Thomas More Society, which is representing the parents in court.
"But the California State Board of Education's approved Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum goes far beyond that by directing students to pray to Aztec deities," he explained. "This portion of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is not only offensive, but blatantly unconstitutional."
The curriculum invites teachers to have their kids recite Aztec prayers and an 'Ashe' chant as a way to energize students to learn better. The alarming lessons were documented by Christopher Rufo in March.
"This section includes several ethnic studies-oriented chants, proverbs and affirmations," reads a passage from the curriculum's "Lesson Resources." ................
