TLDR: Do any of you have good resources, articles, legal precedents, etc to help ensure that White Privilege and Critical Theory get removed from the curriculum?
I talk to my kids everyday after school and we review what they are learning. I recently discovered one teacher began teaching about white privilege to 6th graders. I have spoken with the principle and have a conference scheduled tomorrow to meet in person with the teacher and principle. The teacher has sent me her slides from class and they are racist garbage. I have no challenge arguing against the logic (or lack thereof) of this racist doctrine. However, I need weapons to help make sure this crap gets pulled from the curriculum schoolwide.
My plan is to ask when was this curriculum introduced, who approved it and what alternative points of view were considered. Ultimately, I plan to bring this to the school board and launch an informational campaign in the local community (ie..stand in front of the school driveway with signs and information to protest and educate parents about what the school is teaching their kids). It is a small town and I don;t think it will be very hard to stir up a controversy and get their attention.
Has anyone else faced this and how did you go about winning?
Thanks!
I am sure you are right, but because of my choice to relocate I have struggled to find these opportunities. We have gotten into some local sports but the coronavirus restrictions are so overhanded it has been nearly impossible to make friendships, or hell even just talk to people. I am even considering relocating again if I can find a place that hasn't given into the mask and lockdown madness.
I've never seen anybody in my neighborhood wearing a mask, ever.
Any chance you'd be willing to share where in a private message. I moved out to the country in the upper midwest to try to get away from it, but around mid summer it showed up and now I get verbally and sometimes physically attacked anytime I go to the store for not wearing one.
I'm in NC. I'm in a blue district, but nobody here is even paying attention to what's going on outside the world.
Ive thought about different parts of the south. But I have never been there so I haven't really known where to consider. Once things warm up a bit I'm pretty determined to do some road tripping to see if I can find a place that would welcome an American loving family (even if we come from a commie shit hole).
