What Are Your Kids Learning in School?

Script:
What’s happening in our schools?
Colleges have become leftist indoctrination centers. It’s not a new problem. It’s been going on for decades—first behind the scenes, and now out front. That’s how radical change happens. It creeps up on us. And when we finally figure out what’s going on, it’s too late.
What’s been happening on college campuses is now happening in elementary schools and high schools. I know. I’m a mom of two school-age kids. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. More and more parents are seeing it, too. Thanks to the lockdowns and Zoom, we’re getting a window into our children’s classes.
It’s not a pretty picture. Kids—really young kids—are being taught stuff so radical, so devoid of what real education is, it should alarm us all.
Here are a few examples.
Recently, Chicago public schools adopted an American history curriculum based on The 1619 Project, published and promoted by the New York Times. The 1619 Project asserts that America’s founding was not marked by the Declaration of Independence in 1776, but the arrival of the first African slaves in Jamestown in 1619.
Historians from across the political spectrum have denounced this as a giant lie. The New York Times has walked back many of the project’s original claims. Still, this malicious slander of America is now being taught in schools as truth. And what is that “truth”? That America is, was, and always has been a fundamentally racist country and that white Americans today bear responsibility for all current and historic racism.
This bleeds perfectly into another educational debacle: “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” Now, this might sound innocent, but don’t be fooled—it’s a dangerous euphemism for something called Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory says that racism is woven into the very fabric of American society. What does this look like in a school setting? Middle and high school students in Wellesley, Massachusetts are being taught to be on the lookout for “unconscious” racial bias in their classmates. “We need your help!” an email to students reads. “Your school leaders will be working with you this year on how to be proactive about preventing bias incidents, and how to report them should they occur.”
This warped vision of America doesn’t stop at race. In Colorado, first graders are being taught that just because someone looks like a boy doesn’t mean they are. Only they can know who they truly are. Gender is something they choose for themselves based on how masculine or feminine they feel. Or, maybe they’re not fully a boy or a girl, but something in between—whatever that may be. To repeat, that’s what children are taught in first grade. Imagine what they’re taught in second or third grade.
And, of course, the world faces imminent disaster from global warming. The American Federation of Teachers has fully endorsed the most radical aspects of the Green New Deal, which is already featured in California school curriculums.
In sum, many of our schools are teaching children that our past is terrible and that they have no future. That if they are white, they are racist, whether they know it or not. If they’re black, they’re victims, whether they experience it or not. That they should constantly question their sexual identity. With all this being drummed into their heads, no wonder today’s kids have more psychological problems than any previous generation.

When I was in 8th grade, yes, 8th grade, we read a poem describing all the opportunities in America, and how people are able to support themselves financially, and how incredible this fact is.
However, after reading this poem, our teacher told us all about how this doesn’t properly reflect America, because black people are oppressed, and don’t have the same opportunities as every else.
Ahhhhh, kids are being taught inclusion. Scary
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA as a highschooler your delusional
Bolshevikism & Jewish degeneracy.
Maybe try to get a better understanding of what racism actually means before talking to the school personnel about it. You don’t want to sound like you’re woefully unaware of such basic concepts.
Education has always been progressive the ideas you say are Conservative were made as progressive ideas in Educational centres by academics
mistakes
1: confused leftist with liberal again
2.they think that leftist policy is actually being taught in schools, when biased history is actually the things being taught.
3.ye tbf 1619 project is stupid
4.out past is terrible and we have no future
5.global warming is real pragerU
6.kids have problems due to parents replacing parenting with social media
7.brainwashing of children isn’t happening at least in social issue.
8.America was founded because the British were taxing them too much.
That's the most terrible thing I ever heard
Ignorance is bliss. Don't teach your children about truthful history. 🤓Keep them ignorant so that America fails.🤪 I have met Europeans who know more about U.S History than we Americans do. Their egos and fear of change are not intertwined with their identities. God help those who perpetuate hate and fear. This is rubbish.
I am shocked too😢
"In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and it's a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education." – Russell Means
I like when this parent is frightened when she said WHATS HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS.
White Americans are the one and ONLY reason Black Americans have made the tremendous strides they have on the long AND continuing road to equality. Consider:
–Without the support of a majority of White Americans (Not to the ultimate sacrifice of over 400,000 young, White men), slaves would not have been freed in 1865.
–Without the support of a majority of White Americans, freed slaves might never have been granted citizenship.
–Without the support of a majority of White Americans, Black Americans might never have been given the right to vote.
–Without the support of a majority of White Americans, Black Americans might still be experiencing segregation & discrimination.
In all fairness, it is also true that White Americans have posed the most significant OBSTACLE on that road to equality.
That is, White DEMOCRATS.
I want to read with subtitles Korean
I love how all of the comments are proving the point about leftwing subversion and infiltration 😂😂😂😂😂 you just can’t help yourselfs can’t you
I would not be surprised that people who came up the 1619 bs did so as a way to unleash their racist claptrap and their famous salty language that some blacks are famous for upon anyone,especially white people, disagree.
LMAOAOA y’all are a joke
The thing about people is that they might have been indoctrinated without realizing they've been indoctrinated. Now people accuse PragerU is indoctrinating (which might not be far-fetched but hey, it's a right-wing channel after all), but they must also do a reality check on themselves if they might have been indoctrinated to believe certain things. Just because most people agree with you doesn't mean you're right. Always check on yourselves if your ideologies and beliefs are your own, or are borrowed from somewhere else. This last advice is for everyone, no matter where you stand.
ok
This is one of the most retarted things I've ever seen
