On May 16, outside St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church in Tustin, the California civic organization Protect Our Kids (POK) spoke to parents and residents about the impact of public education on children. Mark Schneider, founder and president of Protect Our Kids, said most parents are unaware of what their children will be exposed to in school.
“Protect Our Children argues that public education is being taught through Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), Critical Race Theory (CRT), and the National Institute for the Study of Sexuality (NIS). “Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Historical Revisionism, threatening the health and well-being of America’s most vulnerable members (children), while threatening the future of this country.
Triple Threat
The original intent of education was to develop good character in children, to convey an understanding of America’s founding roots, and to provide training in the reading, writing, arithmetic, and practical skills necessary for a thriving society. But each of these goals has now ended in favor of a “progressive” worldview that runs counter to traditional American ideas.
Those philosophical ideas originated in 18th-century Europe, going back as far as the Frankfurt School in Germany, a group of Marxists who believed that Marxism should be achieved by changing the social system rather than by the Russian Revolution, and some of them, including John Dewey, exported these ideas to the United States,” Schneider said. most prestigious universities. They began to change America, starting with the universities, the media, the social resource base and the public school system, starting with the law. the Bible and prayer were taken out of the schools in the 60’s, some radical social activists entered the school arena and changed people’s minds, and after about 20 years or so, a new generation was trained to go out into society and become the mainstay of the New York Times or CNN, some ran for Congress and local offices, and some of them ran for the United States. And thus they impose the evil they’ve learned on all people in society.”
“But it’s been a slow process of change, with very few people alerted in the beginning and more people now recognizing the magnitude of the problem, but still many who don’t care or aren’t awake. California passed AB 329 (the Youth Health Act) in 2015 to fully introduce a sex education curriculum in public schools from kindergarten through K-12; the California Department of Education passed a Model Curriculum for Ethnic Studies this year, based on critical race theory that divides populations into white oppressors and oppressed people of color; and historical revisionism, which rewrites American history to portray the United States as a country founded on slavery, and these three educational curricula, the content of which intersects with each other.”
What does the syllabus cover?
In the 2018 edition, the 700-page comprehensive sex education framework released by the California Department of Education, a book recommended for grades K-3 (ages 5-8), It’s not the Stork, requires children to look at pictures to describe sexual organs and sexual biological phenomena; for grades 7-8 (ages 12-13), children are They are asked to recognize different sexual orientations and that gender by physical characteristics is a harmful stereotype and that couples do not have to be one man and one woman; that Team Partners must be inclusive in their interactions and that it is psychologically abusive to justify religious beliefs or to insist on a specific gender; and that students are introduced to the three types of intercourse and how to use contraception in the classroom.
For youth in grades 9-12 (14-18), they are told about local reproductive and sexual health resources through their local American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Planned Parenthood organizations; learn about the laws on sex with minors ; participate in World AIDS Day events, Dream Day, and Take Back the Night; participate in LGBT student clubs to promote school-wide readings featuring sexuality and obtain sexuality guides.
What do we teach our students in the Critical Race Theory-based Ethnic Studies and Social Justice curricula?
That race is the primary human characteristic, that there is systemic racism in America, that whites are privileged oppressors and blacks and people of color are victims, that African ancestors should be worshiped, that collectivism is good and capitalism is bad, etc. Barnor Hesse, a professor of sociology and political science of African descent, Hesse proposes eight white identities, ranging from white supremacy, white privilege to white repentance, white abolitionism, etc., meaning that even if you are born white there is a hierarchy.
The Model Curriculum for Ethnic Studies, adopted by the California Department of Education in late March, says: “To understand power structures and forms of oppression, challenge patriarchy, centralization, anti-natives, Islamophobia and transphobia, and explore the history, struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ community.”
“Historical revisionism” is marked by the 1619 Project, spearheaded by the New York Times in 2019, which denies the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the nation by the United States on July 4, 1776; denies that President Lincoln abolished slavery and preserved the nation’s unity, calling him a racist. Whereas President Lincoln read the Emancipation Proclamation recognizing blacks as free people and promoted the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution outlawing slavery; “historical revisionism” is strengthening critical racism and providing it with weapons and examples.
“Protect Our Children civil society says, “This is really about teaching children a new kind of class struggle, distorting historical facts and denying objective truth in order to bring down Western civilization.”
Changing California’s laws
Schneider describes how California has passed several education laws over a period of more than 20 years, starting with AB 537 in 1999, to bring sexuality education programs into schools; AB 537 (1990), which allows teachers and students to publicly declare and display their LGBTQ gender status; AB 1785 (2000), which calls for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the California Education Framework (Frame); and SB 71 (2003), which promotes LGBTQ education. (2003) promotes LGBTQ as normative and safe sexual behavior; Title V Education Code (2004) defines gender as personally perceived, not biological sex at birth; AB394 (2007) promotes LGBTQ “anti-harm” and “anti-discrimination” materials to teachers, students, and parents; and “anti-discrimination” materials to teachers, students, and parents; SB 777 (2007) teaches students that “gender” is a choice and prohibits “discriminatory bias” in school instruction and activities; SB 543 (2011) allows school staff to take children 12 and older out of school for counseling about homosexual services without parental consent.
SB 48, the Fair Education Act of 2011, mandates that “social science instruction” from kindergarten through K12 celebrate the contributions of LGBT people to society; AB 1266 (2013) requires all K12 public schools to allow access to female restrooms, showers, clubs and sports teams for those who identify themselves as girls (biological boys). showers, clubs, and sports teams, and access to male areas for those who identify themselves as boys (biological girls); AB329 (2015) Youth Health Act requires comprehensive sexuality education for students in kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) schools, encourages adolescents to identify with, express, experience, and transgender non-biological gender, and that students do not have to have parental consent to seek “sexual health” help, including medication and sexual experiences; SB179 (2017), which allows for the use of non-male or non-female gender on documents such as birth certificates and driver’s licenses; and AB2119 (2018), which requires foster families to provide foster children with access to gender-based care and treatment, including puberty blockers, intercourse medications, and sex reassignment surgery. AB2218, passed in August 2020, provides a total of $15 million in funds to nonprofit organizations, hospitals, and health clinics to provide puberty blockers, sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgery for minors.
What can you do?
Rescuing children can take a long time because we have been silent for so long,” Schneider said. There are many people who are not using their constitutional right to vote. You need to vote in every national election, county and local elections, have a voice in school board meetings, and we need to speak up and get more people to pay attention.”
“Gheorghe Rosca, a founding member of Protect Our Children, said, “Parents have the right to look at textbooks and support materials, to talk to teachers, and they don’t necessarily tell you what’s being taught, but they will tell you the standards and the textbooks that are being used. In the school system, both you and your child have a constitutional right to free expression. Believe me, most teachers are with their parents, and about 50% of them are conservative and don’t want to teach those things.”
“For years Marxists were in charge of the unions. Among the multiple proposals the union voted on in 2019 were political issues such as supporting abortion, censoring President Trump, making Hawaii a state and more that have nothing to do with improving student learning. California’s teachers union has more than 320,000 members, each bringing in $1,000 in revenue, so the union has $320 million in revenue. 2016 teacher Rebecca Friedrichs sued the teachers union for not representing the wishes of teachers, asking for the option to opt out of the union and stop paying dues, but it coincided with the death of high court justice Antonia Scalia The death of Justice Antonia Scalia of the high court resulted in a 4-4 tie. Then, Mark Janice went on to sue the teachers’ union in 2018, and the high court ruled 6-3 that members of the union could not pay dues, which includes the teachers’ union, the police union, the fire union and any public union.”
Education funding is one reason parents choose public schools, but during last year’s epidemic, about 169,000 of California’s 6.2 million students were transferred to home schools. Schneider said, “We need to support the ‘2022 School Choice’ levy (estimated to begin this fall) to put parents in charge of their own learning dollars to decide what schools their children attend.”
