Beginning Monday, the Black Lives Matter movement could become a curriculum topic in classrooms across the city.
A Philadelphia School District teachers' group has planned six days of action this week, encouraging educators to introduce optional curriculum and activities - from "The Revolution Is Always Now" coloring pages for very young students to a science lesson about the biology of skin color for older ones.
"This is a critical issue of our time - in our society, but also in our students' lives," said Charlie McGeehan, an English and history teacher and member of the Caucus of Working Educators, an activist group within the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. "It's important for us to dive in."
That's not a universal sentiment.

BLM is a domestic terrorist organization.
If any Nazi or KKK member were to devise a plan to destroy black education and impetus towards self-improvement, this would be it.
John McNesby, president of FOP Lodge 5 in Philadelphia: “We don’t agree with it,” he said. “We think there’s a lot better subjects that could be taught.”
Reading, writing and arithmetic come to mind.
What’s wrong with bringing in a racist domestic terrorist group justifying it’s existence on LIES to dehumanize and promote violence against law enforcement and all white people?
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.
That didn't take long to get that indoctrination weaseled into the public schools.
And foisted on kids who can't read and write wasting more of their precious classroom time.
Radical Islamic Terrorism and The BLM...as in “...enemies, foreign and domestic”!
Exactly right.
“Reading, writing and arithmetic come to mind.”
Constitution wouldn’t hurt either. Teach the class how some old white guys created the greatest nation the earth has ever seen.
They’re all about bullsh## and not educating children, no wonder they’re as dumb s rocks
Philly schools are war zones.
Literally.
The political agenda is being written into K-12 curriculum.
You are absolutely right. And its weak-minded adherents are being flattered into thinking they're important, while smarter manipulators like Soros and various Muzzlime groups are simply using these idiots for cannon fodder and noisemakers. You have to be without a minimally functioning cerebrum to buy into this utter nonsense fabricated from whole cloth and let yourself be used by Soros, yet here are college educated nincompoops doing just that and more tragically, subjecting the kids under their influence to this brainwashing baloney.
I agree.
Those college nincompoops need to find real work.
I hope Trump will address campus make-up that get federal funds.
Get your staff near political parity, or your federal funds will need to be replaced by the DNC, or Socialists international.
If it’s above 60%, we’ll yank your license.
You’re not going to indoctrinate our kids against us, and for sure you’re not going to do it on our dollar.
You know, something like this, I don’t think it really has to do with the kids at all. Any school district that would embrace this tells you that the students are pretty well immersed in racial politics from the top down, K-12, 24/7, ad infinitum. So while they’ll pick up some “information”, it won’t be anything new to their ears. I think what this is really about is the Left (teachers, administration, etc) creating another forum to vent and engage in their favorite mental masturbation of bad-mouthing conservatives, whites, & Republicans. More time to run their fool mouths off in an echo chamber, and call it “enriching our children.” Idiots, all.
They've been writing anti-Americanism, anti-Christianity, anti-capitalism and pro-socialism into curriculum and textbooks for decades. The bitter fruits are now seeking safe spaces and protesting.
Translation: white kids
Agreed.
