California Is Cleansing Jews From History
Tablet ^ | January 27, 2021 | Emily Benedek

In the fall of 2016, California’s then Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a mandate to develop an ethnic studies program for high schools in California. California’s public schools have the most ethnically diverse student body in the nation, with three-quarters of students belonging to minorities and speaking over 90 languages. Luis Alejo, the Assembly member who shepherded the bill through the 15 years required for its adoption, hailed the law, the first in the nation, as an opportunity to “give all students the opportunity to prepare for a diverse global economy, diverse university campuses and diverse workplaces,” adding, “Ethnic studies are not just for students of color.”

Elina Kaplan, a former high-tech manager who had just stepped down as senior VP of one of California’s largest affordable housing nonprofits, remembers agreeing wholeheartedly with the idea at the time. “The objective was to build bridges of understanding between people,” said Kaplan, an immigrant herself, who moved to California from the former Soviet Union with her family when she was 11. “This was as welcome as mom and apple pie. It offered students the chance to learn about the accomplishments of ethnic minorities, as well as to address issues of inequality and bigotry.”

Funny how American Jews always vote for leftists and live in their enclaves such as New York and California, only to be eventually attacked by the same liberals who used them to gain power.

“... Kaplan, 53, a Bay Area mother of two grown children who describes herself as a lifelong Democrat, was further surprised to discover that a list of 154 influential people of color did not include Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, or Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, though it included many violent revolutionaries. There was even a flattering description of Pol Pot, the communist leader of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, who was responsible for the murder of a quarter of the Cambodian population during the 1970s...”

From the article.

So she fled Communist Russia and traveled all the way to America to become a Democrat who advocates the very same system of oppression that she fled.

.and she’s shocked an appalled at it all.

The most amusing fact about the Russian revolution was what happened to the upper middle class and privlidged elite who enthusiastically supported, financed and protected the revolutionaries. After the communists took power most were killed, lost all their property and or were exiled. almost none were allowed to participate in any meaningful way in the new reality.

Ms. Kaplan is a fool. She grew up in the dying days of this oppressive, decadent system. She is given freedom here and reverts to what she fled. Now she is suprised that over lies and propaganda is being forced fed to children by the California state she helped create? She should have stayed in Russia.

The problem with the Left is they have embraced every kook and crazy culture or lifestyle and these groups re essentially against each other. In the Lefts quest to create Utopia, they must isolate and denigrate certain groups who they see as insignificant and elevate the stronger ones. Hence, this. Islam is more powerful than Judaism, so the Left supports the bigger one in this case, the bully. Same thing goes LBGQT. Since most of that group is against straight women, and since straight women offer little valuer anymore to the Left, the Left supports LBGQT, with transgenders (Men) taking over womens places, sports, jobs and interests. Women are the biggest losers in almost all Left Wing advances

Diversity = No Whites.
When critical mass is reached, also No Jews.
When other ethnic groups are doing fine on their own: No Asians (universities).
Who will be next?

I kept reading and reading, until I got to the part where it said that implementing this program K-12 would help students with their reading... NO!!!!!! What will help students with their reading is using proven techniques for teaching reading!!!!!

It really shows the sickness that is pervading our society.

Many smart people have a certain kind of blindness. They refuse to acknowledge it because they think they are too smart not to see.

Point number one, this person sounds like a complete loser, and point number two, jews were amongst the first European groups to settle the American southwest, having been kicked out of Spain by Isabella, they migrated up through Mexico and settled towns centuries before the U.S. even existed (see Socorro NM).

“where it said that implementing this program K-12 would help students with their reading... “


The idea behind that is that kids will only read stuff about people who look like them and/or share life experiences. Unless it’s a picture book, how will the kid know?

So now, what passes for literature in elementary/jr high reading books is stories about how Christina helps her mom prepare for the Puerto Rican Day street party by helping Uncle Manuel get to the house so he can tell his great stories.

Thing is I was able to read Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer as a lad in a Long Beach, California that had very little in common with 1830s Hannibal, Missouri. I wonder how that was possible.

I can’t think of a more effective way to divide a nation.

Diversity is the opposite of unity. Just saying.

“The objective was to build bridges of understanding between people,”

The results is to divide people.

"The language was bewildering. “Ethnic Studies is about people whose cultures, hxrstories, and social positionalities are forever changing and evolving. Thus, Ethnic Studies also examines borders, borderlands, mixtures, hybridities, nepantlas, double consciousness, and reconfigured articulations. …” This was the telltale jargon of critical race theory, a radical doctrine that has swept through academic disciplines during the last few decades. "

All you ever need to know about "Critical race theory" in one picture...

Jews didn’t settle the southwest. That’s a fiction invented by Seven Day Adventists in the 20th century. (Yes a Jewish social anthropologist tried to prove it was true and found it wasn’t) Paper is online somewhere.
