One of the things I've been pointing out about all of this is that none if it is legal in either the UK or the USA where it's becoming very popular.
In the UK we have the equality act and institutions everywhere are working tirelessly to erode it. Things like diversity training based on DeAngelo's work are illegal. In fact her PHD dissertation was illegal. We have an extra legislation here where political indoctrination in schools is illegal yet parents are oblivious they could be suing their schools and having their managers sacked.
I was working in a UK school recently, and the (Muslim) English teacher was talking about about "An Inspector Calls" that the class were reading.
She boldly told the class that the message of the book was that the West, Capitalism and the Patriarchy are all evil, how they all needed to be dismantled, and how this was a great message.
I was utterly shocked. I imagine this shit happens daily.
This was after Boris unambiguously made this illegal too.
Really? It was mostly women that wronged Eva for stupid shit like "she was prettier than me!" The lesson of the story is that your actions have consequences. This shit came out in 1945 in Moscow, does that Muslim teacher truly believe it was about the fucking patriarchy? Holy shit.
I haven't read the book, so am not hugely familiar, but she read it as a critique of WW1 and WW2, which she said was the fault of capitalism, men, and the West.
She also linked it in the sinking of the Titanic too for some reason, and said it was proof of the unsustainability of (again) men, capitalism, and the West.
The book might even be making those claims. I doubt it, but don't know. The issue was she was uncritically endorsing them, calling them historical facts, and not even opening the topic to discussion.
Study works that criticise these things by all means. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. But she was simply propagandising to children and trying to stop them making their own minds up. As a teacher, she shouldn't be allowed to take any political positions.
