“Many schools in Ohio are hiding their curriculum because they’re teaching students to become bigots toward their peers, adults, and law enforcement.”
The battle over “Diversity” curricula is raging across the country, and with each passing week, more parents come out of the woodwork to testify against political activism in schools. In recent weeks, parents have written to me from Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and Virginia reporting that their local meetings have become so packed that parents are forced to watch proceedings from screens in lobbies and hallways.
As I’ve covered this phenomenon over some months, I’ve observed how parent testimonies have evolved into almost an art form. As dire as the situation seems to be, and sometimes it does feel dire, I can’t help but think this is a shining moment in history for the salt-of-the-earth Americans who can smell BS from a mile away and are willing to say so.
That was never more true than for one wholesome, middle-aged mother of two in Beachwood, Ohio. On March 9th, she ripped the Beachwood school board to shreds over their obsession with race and pompous need to control black families like hers, as well as what she perceives to be the sexual grooming of children. Her eloquent comments were met with admonishment by the president of the all white school board, who ultimately attempted to drone out her voice with robotic platitudes about “equity.” It was a stunning exchange.
Below is her poignant speech, which, being so chock full of wisdom, was difficult to edit down (video below).
She began by discussing her experience as a black mother of two grown children, both now successful doctors, who, she argues, were able to thrive in Beachwood because the school united families around a quest for excellence for all students
Years and decades prior, students made friends based on personalities, similarities and differences, and interests in academics, sports, music, clubs, associations, etc. They studied together, carpooled together, went on trips together, went to each other’s houses together, went out to eat together, planned school activities together. Athletes, cheerleaders, and band members rolled together on school buses to games all over northeast Ohio together. They laughed and cried, win or lose together

You went down a road because of what you see nationally that had nothing to do with Beachwood. Now you’ve got school systems in this congressional district telling them how to have anal sex and this is what your sex education… (gets cut off)
It was at this point that the president of the school board interjected to let her know that her time was up. After a brief back and forth exchange in which the mom tried to get in a last comment about the “gender unicorn,” the school board president cut her off, speaking over her on the mic. He can be heard saying, voice full of contempt, “I take extreme exception with almost everything you’ve said because your premise is wrong.”
At this point the black mom had left the podium and was now standing about 10 feet in front of him, facing him, shaking her head no, her voice drowned out by his, as he stammered on, “this..this..administration and this board is..is…committed to equity for every student in this district.”
Now addressing the group he continued, “You can shake your heads no, you’re free to disagree (becomes inaudible),” at which point his voice is drowned out by applause and cheering in the background. Like a robot, the school board president can be heard again, droning over the hostile crowd, “Our administration is committed to equity for every student.”
The exchange is astonishing to watch (begins around 7:43 mark):
The indignant reaction this woman elicited from the board president, evident in his tone of utter contempt, is familiar to many black conservatives, and anyone else who dares to focus the spotlight too brightly and effectively on the deeply disturbing elements of the white progressive agenda. As many successful, independent black Americans have experienced, there are people who are viscerally threatened by the bold assertion that black Americans can succeed on their own steam, and that they can integrate fully and joyfully into the fabric of American life. In the case of white progressives, that message threatens their sense of benevolent superiority, their feelings of righteous sanctification, and most importantly, it obstructs their avenue to societal control and the remaking of mankind in their own image. Self sufficient black Americans can’t be controlled, and thus they must be silenced.
Is that David Hogg?
But, was the crowd applauding her or him? I hope they were applauding what she said.
Her point was that her children had a great childhood growing up in that town. People got along well with each other. The school system in that town was doing well. Her children became successful.
And now the same school is teaching the next generation of children to hate each other, hate their parents, etc., with all the “woke” teachings.
Excellent video. Worth watching all the way to the end. People are sick of the garbage liberals are spewing.
...
Audio is terrible. Masks don’t help but the recording just is sub par.
Have to turn if far up to get anything.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Ahhh, the good old days....
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.
Shut her down! She’s not following the narrative! She’s thinking independently and we can’t have that!/s
These are the blacks that scare the crap out of woke white leftists.
Bingo! Wise POC know the division going on in their community They know the Race Hustlers, who have no interest in them. the Praetorian Guard will protect and carry the message of the “Progressives”.
The Republicans should have jumped on the MLB all star game withdrawal in ATL with some activity that would promote the economy in the area.
But I’m sure the all White / jewish staff is 100% textbook leftist / White guilt / Blame Whitey / propaganda types.So what’s the problem?
bump
This is wonderful...Black conservatives speaking truth to idiot white liberal 'elite' stupid ideas... Yes! Together we can fight back against the evils of 'WOKE'...

To paraphrase Lavrentiy Beria, “show me the woker and I’ll show you the racist”
