Right now, many people are focused on national politics, the elections, the banning of conservative thought, and the fear of more violence and destruction to come from Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa. But anyone who cares about the nation’s longer-term future needs to pay attention to the horrible transformation going on in the nation’s schools. It is on a scale that we have never seen before.
A flood of Black Lives Matter curriculum material – specifically tailored for various grade levels – is now showing up in public (and some private) schools across the US. Children are hit with insidious Marxist messages including:
America is a very bad place. Police are racist and violent. White people are naturally bigoted and have unfair privilege. All black people are morally superior. The traditional family structure is archaic. The obvious purpose is to divide people, not bring them together.
But that’s not all. Two of the three founders of BLM are “out” lesbians, and “from the start Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives.” So along with the Marxist ideology – often mixed together – comes a new radical wave of LGBT indoctrination in the schools. From what we’ve seen, it is even more psychologically aggressive than before.
As our readers know, for many years MassResistance has been successfully helping parents fight back against the LGBT agenda targeting their children in their schools.
Earlier this year, MassResisance activists around the country began confronting local BLM groups that were targeting their communities with their aggressive Marxist, anti-police, and racist demands. Much of this was centered around de-funding the police and pushing Marxist policies into city government.
When the new school year began back in August classes were conducted via Zoom because of COVID-19. Parents at home began noticing extremely offensive BLM lessons being pushed on students in supposedly academic settings such as English and math classes. It was frightening and very upsetting. MassResistance has helped some parents confront the school officials and get it stopped.
This has all been shockingly sudden. Last year there was almost no BLM material being taught that we could identify. But now we’re seeing that it’s a much larger problem than we could ever imagine. The sheer amount of material and the methodical way it’s being presented to children makes it obvious that the preparation for this has been going on for some time.
This assault on children is being funded by Corporate America. The amount of money is staggering. Two years ago the National Football League announced a $90 million donation to Black Lives Matter and its “social justice” front groups, which was later upped to $250 million. This has been joined by Apple, Amazon, Walmart, and Google, Bank of America and many others. (See sample lists of funders here and here.) The total by now has easily reached a billion dollars.
A substantial amount of this money goes to “educating” the nation’s schoolchildren. They have been able to create their extensive course materials and the methodologies for pushing it most effectively on children.
It’s moving so fast because the Black Lives Matter organization is working closely with the LGBT movement which infiltrated the schools over the past several decades – as well as the political entities that run them and universities that influence them. As a result, most of this new material is coming from the state or city level – and being pushed into the individual schools.
Teachers have also been put through indoctrination “teacher training,” much like the LGBT training that HRC and its “Welcoming Schools” have given them in years past (which is also pushed from the government entities).
BLM is also working with other left-wing extremist groups already in the schools, such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and its so-called “Teaching Tolerance” curriculum.
From what we are seeing, they are focusing particularly intensely on the Elementary and Middle School grades. They have a definite – and quite frightening - obsession in molding children’s minds as early as possible.
This, unfortunately, is not a new concept among totalitarian movements. It’s something that we need to pay attention to.
One very disturbing thing that we’ve found in both writings and even video clips that we’ve come across is the extreme militant attitude of teachers.
In one video of a training session, teachers explain that parents don’t have a right to decide what their children learn – because the teachers are the ones who know best. And children need to be protected from parents’ bigotry.
A popular slogan is “Freedom to read.” They unabashedly say that young children have the “freedom” to read pornography, or children’s books promoting homosexuality or witchcraft, or any subject the teacher may choose.
Keeping parents in the dark is a goal. And in fact, most people have no idea what’s happening. But sometimes parents find out. So there are training sessions on dealing with pushback from parents - particularly “bigoted conservative religious” parents. They teach the teachers how to give such parents misinformation and confuse them to a point where they don’t oppose the material.
Yes, we believe it can be stopped – school by school. None of this can be defended by the schools – if parents are educated and equipped to properly confront it. Because it is virtually all based on lies and discredited Marxist ideology, it is surprisingly easy to tear down.
The education establishment is used to intimidating and steamrolling parents and community members who are frightened and unsophisticated. But our experience has been that they cannot effectively deal with people who are aggressive and well equipped with the facts.
There are numerous strategies at our disposal – including demands that the ringleaders pushing this on children be fired – which we’ve successfully used.
(The only thing limiting us right now is the funding to manage a larger-scale operation. Conservative donors are historically reticent to be confrontational. But we’re working on that.)
Over the last few months we have gathered a large amount of the new Black Lives Matter and LGBT material being pushed in the nation’s schools. Most of this has come from teachers (and even principals) who have been outraged – and reached out to us. It even includes some videos of secret teacher training sessions.
It’s far too much to post in just one article. So over the next several weeks we will be publishing a series of detailed reports. Our goal is for people to know what’s really happening in their schools – and hopefully get prepared to take action!
The Black Lives Matter assault in the nation’s schools is bigger and more intrusive than people realize. Along with that is a new wave of radical LGBT indoctrination.
This is how the communists implement their long term strategic plan. Our authorities and the sheeple are too stupid to see it coming until the bullets start to fly.
My friend is a teacher in a public school in NJ, and has to sit through “Critical Race Theory” courses basically telling him that he a racist because he is white by black “professors”. I said he should secretly tape the meetings and sue the district for civil rights violations.
And how is this garbage even allowed into the curriculum?
Propaganda to plant seeds of evil and doubt into the minds and hearts of children. One of the many reasons to homeschool.
Christians and conservatives who are parents and who have *any* possibility to remove their children from government schools and choose other education options for their children, but do not do so, are delusional fools, sorry to say. How much more evidence do these idiots need? Their inaction is directly assisting in the destruction of the Republic.
Umm...the cultural Marxist infestation of our schools (which is why queerness and now BLM is strong there) has been happening for many decades.
This is one of the reasons I see thousands of homes with “Black Lives Matter” in front.
I know there are a plethora of Leftists here, but a good number wouldn’t bother.
The kids badger them to put the signs, up, I am sure of it.
> I said he should secretly tape the meetings and sue the district for civil rights violations. <
You’ve got to be careful with that. Some states are two-party consent states. In those states you must inform people if you are taping their voices. And it can be a felony if you fail to do so.
NJ is evidently a single-party consent state. So informing is not necessary.

“ And how is this garbage even allowed into the curriculum?”
It’s ridiculous. We opted for all online, I’m the “teacher” of my 8th grader. Grades HAVE gotten way better, so that’s a plus. But the coursework is blatantly manipulative. Algebra word problems work in plenty of ethnic names. Language readings are nonstop heroic slaves, social activist Karens or women who managed to overcome evil White men.
You’d expect some of it in Social Studies. After all we are on the Revolution and pre Civil War material. We’ll see how that goes.
We know that
We are forced to attend webinars for continuing education. The last two were all Black Supremacy all the time. Nothing about being better online professors. Luckily they were webinars. Minimized them and played eve online. Routed their sound output to ‘null’ (they can see if you mute them)
> We know that <
You might know that. And so might your friend. But I did not know these recording rules until recently (I was a witness in a car accident, and an insurance guy wanted to tape my testimony over the phone).
So I was posting for everyone’s general information.

This teacher would resign before ever being “forced” to indoctrinate his students with this garbage.
Marxism is hugely popular among all the pro sports leagues and in the upper echelons of Corporate America, thus explaining their huge funding of the violent Marxist BLM mob riot organization.
As to the BLM influence throughout education, I call it "Re-education": Undoing everything schoolchildren's parents taught them at home; then re-teaching them "the right way" (the racist, anti-U.S., Marxist way). And yes, many of those re-educators are extremely militant in attitude.
The vast majority of parents are far too busy and thus have no clue what's going on. But don't worry, the violent BLM, George Soros, Corporate America, the Democrat Party, etc., are all very carefully controlling and observing the situation, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
having Bill Ayers involved in school curricula might have been a wrong move:
17 Sept 2020: Bill Ayers: CRITICAL RACE THEORY
Colleagues:
As you may be aware, the Trump administration recently administered a blistering critique of anti-racist professional development. In doing so, he referred to critical race theory – a chief area of study for me – as Un-American and essentially banned its use in professional development funded by federal dollars. I got together with a few of my colleagues this week and wrote a response. It has been signed by another 220 scholars of race in education. If you’d like to sign, you can do so here. Here is the statement for your information. Feel free to forward as you see fit. You can also find an online version of the statement on Medium. Also, check out this Critical Race Theory in Education Teach-In today with Gloria Ladson-Billings and a bunch of other critical race scholars. It was organized by Adrienne Dixson at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It was broadcast and can be watched via Facebook. Here is the Zoom link to the teach-in as well. If you wait til the very end of the teach-in, you’ll hear from me as well. See the statement and signers below...
We are disturbed that the Office of the President would denounce a well-vetted, rigorous, and theoretically sound framework that thousands of scholars have utilized for the last 40 years to understand how race shapes every imaginable societal system...
We honor the reality that multiple histories and experiences exist for the diversity of peoples in the United States, for every race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion brings with it its own histories included in and not erased by a whitewashed “American” experience...ETC

Wikipedia: William Charles Ayers is an American elementary education theorist. During the 1960s, Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground that opposed US involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s radical activism and his later work in education reform, curriculum and instruction...
After leaving the underground, he earned an M.Ed from Bank Street College in Early Childhood Education (1984), an M.Ed from Teachers College, Columbia University in Early Childhood Education (1987) and an Ed. D from Teachers College, Columbia University in Curriculum and Instruction (1987).
Ayers was elected Vice President for Curriculum Studies by the American Educational Research Association in 2008.[44] William H. Schubert, a fellow professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, wrote that his election was “a testimony of [Ayers’] stature and [the] high esteem he holds in the field of education locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally”. Writer Sol Stern, a conservative opponent of progressive education policies, has criticized Ayers as having a virulent “hatred of America”, and said, “Calling Bill Ayers a school reformer is a bit like calling Joseph Stalin an agricultural reformer.”...
On September 23, 2010, William Ayers was unanimously denied emeritus status by the University of Illinois, after a speech by the university’s board chair Christopher G. Kennedy (son of assassinated U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy), containing the quote “I intend to vote against conferring the honorific title of our university to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father, Robert F. Kennedy.”
He added, “There is nothing more antithetical to the hopes for a university that is lively and yet civil...than to permanently seal off debate with one’s opponents by killing them”...
Ayers worked with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley in shaping the city’s school reform program...
In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: “I am a radical, Leftist, small ‘c’ communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I’m the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small ‘c’ communists in the sense that we were never in the Communist party and never Stalinists. The ethics of communism still appeal to me. I don’t like Lenin as much as the early Marx...
During the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, a controversy arose about Ayers’ contacts with then-candidate Barack Obama, a matter that had been public knowledge in Chicago for years...
