(Aug 8, 2014) Last week, Ben Velderman of EAGnews reported that John J. Duggan Middle School in Springfield, MA will re-open this school year as Duggan Expeditionary Learning Magnet School, a Grade 6 -12 school with an emphasis on social justice.

Since its beginning, Expeditionary Learning (EL) has been a partner of the Coalition of Essential Schools (CES), the leftist indoctrination reform (and people) behind Common Core.

In February of 2013, Expeditionary Learning (EL) was chosen by the State of New York “to create Common Core-aligned English language arts and literacy curriculum for grades 3-5 and to deliver Common Core professional development to representatives from districts across the state”.

According to its website, EL also works with the authors of Common Core to develop model secondary curriculum.

What on earth does "expeditionary" education even mean?

The main article says:

...Several teachers at the James Baldwin Expeditionary Learning School in New York are members of NYCoRE — the New York Collective of Radical Educators.

NYCoRE educators, who contend they are committed to educating for social change, openly subscribe to an extreme leftist view on virtually every political and social issue.

The NYCoRE working group, NYQueer says they believe “educators of all age groups can and should address issues of gender and sexuality in the classroom”. To that end, NYCoRE partners with only the most liberal of organizations, like pro-sex Planned Parenthood and pro-homosexual sex GLSEN.

This is one of the lessons:

Grade 5: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 11

Building Background Knowledge

Why Do Workers Strike?

(Chapter 11: “Los Aguacates/Avocados”)

The correct answer is apparently something along the lines:

"Some people have more than others."

This monster must be destroyed - get your kids out of the government schools and don't look back.
