California school district is using lesson plans designed by its Black Lives Matter Task Force (BLM) to help teach 7th graders about their implicit bias during Black History Month, according to the curriculum obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
In an effort to address “issues related to racial justice,” Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) requires 7th through 12th grade teachers to use a curriculum created by the schools’ Black Lives Matter Task Force, a coalition dedicated to creating equity for African American students and staff within the district, according to screenshots of the curriculum obtained by the DCNF. The curriculum teaches students about the “daily effects of white privilege” and “implicit bias.”
“In an effort to bring the concepts of racial justice to the forefront of your education during Black History Month, the BLM Task Force created a lesson for all 7th graders to help you explore and think critically regarding concepts of race, racism and racial equity,” the curriculum stated. “While this topic may feel sensitive for some, it is a crucial part of Civic Engagement that we value in the AUHSD.”
The required lessons in 2023 come as a part of a resolution approved by the Anaheim Union High School Board in 2020 which requires teachers to give students the lessons created by the Black Lives Matter Task Force or either assign them as homework, according to the resolution obtained by the DCNF. The lessons began Feb. 13 and are to be completed by March 3.
In 7th grade, science teachers give the lesson “don’t judge a book by its cover” which teaches students about “implicit bias” and how their own “implicit biases affect others,” the curriculum showed. The lesson provided suggestions for students aged 11-14 on how to be more “mindful” and “aware” of their learned implicit biases.
Students in 8th grade, or ages 12-16, are taught to learn empathy, critical awareness and respect, the curriculum showed. The lesson explains to students how stereotyping can cause prejudice and discrimination.
The “school to prison pipeline” lesson details social justice and what “historical disadvantages” minorities face through statistics on black incarceration rates, suspension and expulsion rates, the curriculum for 9th graders showed.
In tenth grade English, the “let’s talk about privilege” curriculum discusses the “daily effects of white privilege.” Students are asked to reflect on their own privilege and taught how they can use their power to help those “without a voice,” the curriculum showed.
Students in 11th grade receive the “stay woke” lesson which teaches students how their implicit biases are created and can cause them to affect others positively or negatively, the curriculum showed. Students are asked to reflect if assimilation has “taken precedence” over their cultural identity.
In 12th grade, students complete a lesson on systemic racism which shows them data on how “generation of systemic racism have led to educational and economic disparities,” the curriculum showed. Students learn how systemic racism affects “black people negatively” and then are asked to discuss their own beliefs.
“This lesson is designed to help you explore and think critically about concepts such as race, racism and racial equity, which can be a challenging topic,” the curriculum stated. “Inappropriate comments or remarks will be identified for correction.”
At the end of the lesson, students are encouraged to sign up for Black History Month events promoted by the school district’s Black Lives Matter Task Force in order to earn community service hours. Students can earn credit for events such as a “black history parade” and the school district’s Black History Month celebration.
“The 2022 California Smarter Balanced test results show that only 23% of students in the Anaheim Union High School District could do math at the grade level and the English proficiency level was 43%,” Wenyuan Wu, executive director of Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, a group that focused on combating racial discrimination, told the DCNF. “Instead of ramping up its efforts to help struggling students from underprivileged backgrounds academically, AUHSD has doubled down on its indoctrination attempts to infuse Race Marxism in math, science, history, social studies and more.”
Anaheim Union High School District and Black Lives Matter Task Force did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
I normally tune out all the PA crapola. The COVID hysteria really set me on edge. Endless loops of “we are all in this together...out of abundance of caution...stay 6 feet from others...follow the aisle arrows...cover your face...blah, blah, blah.” I just wanted to scream “STOP it, STOP it!!”
I’m surprised I even heard the black patent crap today. The narrator sounded like one of those breathless 20-somethings on any NPR show to make it even worse. As soon as I heard “black inventor and patent” my filters kicked on and I never heard another word.
I had a cart full of stuff. I hate shopping and put it off as long as I can, so I wasn’t about to abandon my cart.
So many aspects of modern life just really suck.
“Every blame can be lain at the feet of the normal people and their weakness.” — there’s a lot of truth in that. My “weakness” today was just wanting to get an unpleasant chore of restocking everything in the house and getting it overweigh regardless of the propaganda being poured all over me.
Blacks have two national holidays and an entire month to celebrate their history. According to Critical Race Theory, whites, who invented slavery and perpetrated Jim Crow, are their oppressors. So a superior race with two national holidays and a whole month dedicated to its history, is seen as being subjected to a race of evil subhumans.
Oh, joy! Now we can be evil racist rednecks! In for a penny, in for a pound. Where are my sheets?/s
They’re really stupid. What do adolescents do when adults push? Rebel and push back. They should have got them when they were younger. Too late. Pass the popcorn.
I understand about the shopping. It is a sucky chore. However, Target has been known as a notoriously libtard company for some time now. I NEVER shop at Target since they started with their bathroom policy. It’s been at least 5 years since I even went to their website.
I would find another store to patronize. Or if you are like me, stop patronizing brick and mortar stores altogether. In the future, I will be ordering everything online (not from Amazon), and having my groceries delivered (which are very basic due to me making most of my food homemade). I buy my flour and cornmeal from a small local mill. I know someone who keeps bees and I substitute honey a lot for processed sugar. A neighbor has chickens and I buy eggs from her. We have a local butcher that does all meats and fish. I still need to find a local cheese maker. Butter can be made easily homemade. When I see wokeness being promoted anywhere, I will cancel them.
I am creeping closer to being a prepper, lol. None of it is enough. Civil disobedience to begin with, but in the end I think it will take a shooting war. If it is even possible.
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.

Wow, you are resourceful and busy! I’m tired just reading all you are doing. I’ve got other hobbies keeping me busy in retirement. We buy most of our stuff on Amazon, but today was assorted food, a new iron, ironing board, a picture frame, a couple of work tee shirts, paper towels, toothpaste, bar soap, stainless steel wipes, etc. sometimes it’s just easier to go to the store. I’m forced to do it about every three or four weeks, so I can live with it. I just need to keep my ears closed.
I was ticked at Target when they kicked the Salvation Army out at Christmas way before the bathroom garbage.
Just reading about this gives me the creeps.
This is nothing more than Nazi “race theory” repackaged under another name.
Black People Month,
seems racisss
-fJRoberts-
I’m not doing most of it, lol. People I know are. I honestly believe most people just tune it out. The problem is, of course, is that they soon won’t let anyone tune it out. Indoctrination camps for all will be the end result. It only gets worse.
I didn’t hear about the Salvation Army thing at the time. Shame.
Combine that with the fact that the Salvation Army has gone woke itself, which is really a shame.
Has been said many many times....remove your children from Public Schooling.
When this happeneds pull your children out, stop talking about it and do something significant. They will return when this is gone! period
There are a number of powerful women with white husbands. Kamala Harris. Ketanji Brown Jackson…
Where Anita Dunn now?
“I was ticked at Target when they kicked the Salvation Army out at Christmas way before the bathroom garbage.”
That’s when we stopped with Target.
Then SA went woke, so there’s that. You really can’t win.
In my situation, I live in the country and we don’t have any farmers markets (all the farmers sell to big corps. especially corn) and I know of one person who raises chickens and they don’t sell the eggs. It is crazy. The closest stores are big box stores like Walmart. We never tried to buy groceries online. Isn’t that expensive?
Yup—it looks like they are teaching Mexicans to hate Whitey.
Remember: La Raza does not mean “The Race” according to the “experts” and “fact checkers”.
