Parents at Tustin Unified School District in Orange County, CA, are demanding answers after discovering their children were given a “White Savior Complex Assignment” and were administered a “Healthy Kids’ survey (which included racial questions) without parental knowledge. Emails, meetings with school administrators, and questions presented at Board meetings were met with little response and few answers.
Parents ultimately submitted a Public Records Request demanding all information and communications regarding Critical Race Theory. On June 2, 2021, parents received files from the District which only heightened concerns that Critical Race Theory was being woven into the school curriculum.
The Public Records Request revealed that a substitute teacher assigned a “White Savior Complex” assignment to high school students in English Honors aligned with their study of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Tustin Unified School District Superintendent Franklin approved the “White Savior Complex” assignment as Ethnic Studies curriculum saying, “I think it’s a good assignment in the ethnic studies course … not so sure about a high school English course.”
Although the District spokesperson stated that the District will not incorporate CRT into its curriculum, the response by Board member, Allyson Damikolas, reflects an attempt to soften language seemingly to keep parents from understanding what is really going on. “I had a comment on the ethnic studies presentation, the second bullet saying that ‘it is not aligned with CRT’ is slightly inaccurate in my opinion. I think it would be more accurate to say that it is ‘not the same as CRT’ or something like that…..The ideas that we recognize that systems are not always fair because of race, and we value diversity, is a component of CRT. It’s complicated and nuanced I admit, but that bullet in particular will be scrutinized by that opposing parent group.”
Opposing parent group? So any concerns parents bring to school administrators make them opponents rather than caretakers invested in their children’s well-being? That phrasing certainly suggests this school district sees it as an ‘us against them’ situation. And honestly, at this point, parents across the country feel that that is the environment schools have created.
School officials seem to view parents as an annoying barrier to their efforts to indoctrinate our children. The principal of Foothill High School, Michelle England, annoyed by the inquiries from parents stated, “(I) am about to draw some boundaries.”
Boundaries for what? To prevent parents from even asking questions about what information is being presented to their children?
Aren’t teachers and school administrators paid to serve the students and parents? Who do these people work for? Parents deserve honest answers from the school officials on what is being taught to their children.
One parent, on why he was speaking to the school board yet again states, “Tonight I find myself standing here for the sixth time in the last twelve months. Why do I keep coming back? It’s simple….I don’t trust you.”
Kmk
get your kids out of public schools
This is only the beginning...
Blasphemy . . . God will not be mocked. We are treading on thin ice in this country. So sad what we have become as a nation.
Public schools = Government indoctrination centers to train young people for the new ‘woke’ reality and the Great Reset.
Nothing more, nothing less.
The best way to stop this crap is to get rid of the unions and then get rid of the teachers who want to teach this crap.

oops...wrong thread...
Sucks to be on the far left of the Bell Curve. One tends to need a lot of help. The feeling of embarrassment from that, made toxic by Marxist radicals, is what this is all about.
This is what parents are supposed to do question the board and super, they work for the tax payers not the other way around
CRT is just finishing the work of Charles Manson, and this time it might just work.
“teachers” pushing this crap are predators
A good suggestion...
The high school mentioned in the article, Foothill High, is in a good part of Orange County, CA...That school is not in some ghetto...
Parents move into a good area, thinking that their kids will attend good public schools...Then those public schools teach Critical Race Theory...Parents should spend more money to send their kids to a private school? I would understand if those parents are upset...
I agree...There is nothing wrong with parents asking questions...They are also capable of recalling school board members...School board members should remember that...
Many people get on the school board to run for other political offices in the future...Being kicked out of office in a recall election does not look good on somebody's resume if he/she wants to run for some other political office...
I was in Tustin Wednesday. Hope the parents keep the heat up.
Such irony CRT is pushed so hard by “white saviors” and all the BLM riots seem to be lead by pudgy fat white women. And let’s give a hand to the white savior in chief Chomo Joe Biden.
The “White Savior Complex” is actually a problem among liberal elites, especially politicians and celebrities. They view persons of color as “white man’s burden,” incapable of doing the most menial of tasks, such as obtaining photo IDs.
So Atticus Finch should have just let the mob lynch Tom Robinson? I mean we wouldn’t want him getting a “White Savior Complex”, would we?
Blasphemy . . . God will not be mocked.
Not sure what God has to do with this. IIRC God didn't say anything about white people or critical race theory. This is just more of man's evil towards his fellow man.
