In a Philadelphia elementary school, teachers are putting a premium on radicalism, not reading.

    Is this actually the state of America's public school system, that it can include a school as ROTTEN to the core as this one? My goodness. What a SAD state of affairs. No wonder black communities are in such a bad state. This school is 94% black. Hopefully for black people, other prodominantly black schools are not like this. How the hell does it not get shut down?

    Interesting reading the article that white and black teachers are being segregated. That sounds illegal even... Perhaps the most damning of all was that 3.4 Billion dollars were being wasted in this manner. Talk about corruption and graft by the teachers union....

    Perhaps it’s intentional in the effort to dumb down the minds of Americans in order to more easily control them.

    https://www.countercurrents.org/us-soderstrom230405.htm

    POD is just as important as the three Rs but there is a push to rewrite even history in order to control Americans. Making out that our Founding Fathers were evil slave owners makes it easier to replace them with the likes of Angela Davis.

    ~ No doubt about it. It is a social engineering program right out of the Communist playbook. See Chinese Communist Party for examples.

    It's no different today. If these private jet using celebrity activists think future generations won't **** all over them then they've got another thing coming.

    Nothing new here, didn't the Southern Democrat slaveowners make it illegal to educate the slaves in order to keep them in bondage easier? Same goal, different means.....

    I would caution against using this as an example of education today.

    First, the article linked above does not show that anything alleged to have happened in the school went beyond legitimate learning about Angela Davis and her experiences. It refers to her as a communist, but doesn't say any more about communism except that the students learned what it was.

    Second, the article references whistleblower documents, but does not provide any documents or links to them other than some innocuous questions about the material being taught and some photos. If the worst thing about it is having students define communism and some photos, one of which mentions Trump. There isn't any way to verify the information.

    Third, the article in the OP is a C&P of an article written by Cristopher Ruso, and seems that it's being pushed through a network of imposter sites that promote political narratives. The actual author of the article has other articles that all promote the same narrative about education. Though he seems well-credentialed, his articles do not provide factual detail to support his claims. In fact, what is provided makes him seem rather uninformed and more of a political influencer than an academic. He makes claims that can't be supported. Ruso's problem seems to be limited to the fact that the lesson taught students about a Black activist.

    There are plenty of problems in Education today, but this manufactured outrage related to the promotion of "other than White" topics and perspectives is not one of them.

    Did the white students have to wear blackface or just Klan robes in this role playing exercise they had?

    Desegregation was imposed on the South. The states that were exempted are today hosts to the most separate and unequal school systems in the country. Congregating all the blacks and other minorities into housing projects and slums and then using geography to rationalize their oppression is next-level Jim Crow at its finest.

    I well remember the chaos that surrounded forced desegregation in the south. 50 years on, the goal seems to be renewed segregation. It's just insanity IMO.

    I read the other articles he wrote and followed him to other sites that were promoting them. Rufo is supposed to be a researcher--adjunct fellow at Pacific Research Institute which is politically motivated--yet his articles are simplistic and follow along more with fringe media.

    A fifth-grade teacher in Philadelphia designed a social studies curriculum to celebrate Angela Davis, who is a devout communist. The teacher praised the "black communist" for her fight against "injustice and inequality."

    At the conclusion of the unit, the teacher led the ten-and eleven-year-old students into the auditorium to "simulate" a Black Power rally to "free Angela Davis" from prison, where she had once been held while awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder.

    This school is one of the worst-performing schools in the entire state of Pennsylvania. The number of those who are considered to be proficient in math is only 3% by the sixth-grade, and 9% are proficient in reading.

    https://civildeadline.com/elementary-school-forces-students-to-celebrate-black-communism/

    Here we go again--the LEFT's undying need to sidestep the teaching of early American history (including our Constitution & Founders) by instead praising a full fledged communist dirtbag.
