Clean, Green and Absolutely Sustainable

One of history’s most valuable lessons is that much of what is widely believed at any one time will later be viewed as nonsense, and it is vanishingly unlikely that this does not still apply. On the contrary, our current system of education is now actively pursuing an indoctrination in postmodern thought which seeks to deny, demean and dismiss the all-too-brief ascendancy of reason and evidence as embodied in the scientific method. The impetus for this is simple. Reason and evidence threaten established careers, status and beliefs held dear in academia, and it is they who determine the content of education.

Carson notes silver lining in left’s hard push of ‘racist’ CRT: ‘It’s waking up the nation’

“It was obviously the left that did this and they are basing this on some of the things that were said by people like Vladimir Lenin and various Marxists. Lenin said give me your children to teach for four years and the seeds I plant will never be uprooted. What they are trying to do is actually indoctrinate the kids. This is not a new thing. This has been going on for a while,” he said.

I’m A Middle School Teacher And See How Critical Race Curriculum Is Creating Racial Hostility In School

I love being a teacher and I care a great deal about my students, almost all of whom are non-white. This past 2020/21 school year was a sad and worrisome turning point for me as an educator. Providence K-8 teachers were introduced to one of the most racially divisive, hateful, and in large part, historically inaccurate curriculums I have ever seen in my teaching career.

Yes, I am speaking about the controversial critical race theory that has infiltrated our public schools here in Rhode Island under the umbrella of Cuturally Responsive learning and teaching, which includes a focus on identities. You won’t see the words “critical race theory” on the materials, but those are the concepts taught. The new, racialized curriculum and materials focuses almost exclusively on an oppressor-oppressed narrative, and have created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.

Academics Rush To Defend Teacher Who Taught ‘Pornography Literacy’

Canadian Psychotherapist Says That School Teachers are Cultivating Transgender Kids

With the passage of the supposedly “anti-conversion therapy” Bill C-6 through the House of Commons there has been an evident lack of knowledge on the bill present in the Canadian public. Most people will just hear that it bans “conversion therapy” and assume the best of intentions, without knowing the troubling negative free speech and parental rights implications posed by C-6.

Embracing critical theory, teacher’s union says they — not parents — control what kids learn

The political left wants critical race theory in every school district in the nation. The nation’s largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts.

Over the weekend, the National Education Association (NEA) held its annual Representative Assembly, with delegates from across the United States voting on priorities and allocating funding for the upcoming school year, with the ideology of critical race theory — a form of race-based Marxism — taking center stage.

Thousands of teachers pledge to break anti-critical race theory laws

How Radical Are the Teachers’ Unions?

America’s teachers’ unions are the country’s single most malign influence. They do more to promote leftist extremism, and do it more effectively, than anyone else. The teachers’ unions dominate the schools of education, from which most teachers come, and they control school board elections in most districts. In effect, they run the public schools, which is the main reason why the public schools are so bad.

How radical are they?
