California is rolling out a new “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum,” and “It’s as bad as you imagine,” writes Williamson M. Evers in his latest Wall Street Journal opinion column.
Evers, a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, explains that:
The document is filled with fashionable academic jargon like “positionalities,” “hybridities,” “nepantlas” and “misogynoir.” It includes faddish social-science lingo like “cis-heteropatriarchy” that may make sense to radical university professors and activists but doesn’t mean much to the regular folks who send their children to California’s public schools. It is difficult to comprehend the depth and breadth of the ideological bias and misrepresentations without reading the whole curriculum—something few will want to do.
Understandably so. It’s torturous. Yet Evers offers a helpful glimpse into what’s likely headed to California classrooms near you soon:
Begin with economics. Capitalism is described as a “form of power and oppression,” alongside “patriarchy,” “racism,” “white supremacy” and “ableism.” Capitalism and capitalists appear as villains several times in the document.
And it goes downhill from there, particularly with regard to critical thinking, as Evers explains:
The curriculum is entirely wrongheaded when it comes to critical thinking. Critical thinking is described not as reasoning through logic and consideration of evidence but rather a vague deconstruction of power relationships so that one can “speak out on social issues.”
Most parents send their children to school for instruction, not indoctrination.

This needs to be stopped immediate. Khruschev’s minions at work!
The definition of "critical thinking" that the CA schools are using is directly from the "deconstruction" process from the "cultural Marxism" out of the Frankfurt School and Herbert Marcuse. The deliberate intention is to make people dissatisfied with the current situation, so that they will be open to changing the political system. It is pure indoctrination. Bill Ayers (Obama's commie friend & prof of education) would be proud of the garbage that the CA schools are teaching.
Ethnic studies, instructing our children to allow ethnics to do what they please because of the color of their skin, make you feel inferior to them, showing how wonderfully rich their cultures are even when they’re beating women, raping young girls, honor killing their daughters, stealing, taking drugs drinking and learning how to use the word racist to get what you want. Teaching our legal citizen children to step back and allow these cretans to take what is not theirs to take!
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
