Parents beware: A program called Challenge Day that applauds a culture of victimhood is planting the leftist agenda into young minds under the guise of anti-bullying education.
The program uses the power of peer pressure and groupthink to impress upon high school students the idea that everyone is a victim.
Challenge Day is no small initiative. According to the program’s website, it has been held at more than 2,200 high schools nationwide and reached millions of students.
Challenge Day purports to teach tolerance and acceptance, yet nearly every member of its board of directors and Global Leadership Council is politically left of center.
Of the 17 members of Challenge Day’s board of directors, 15 openly support leftist leaders and causes, and two have an unknown affiliation, according to Federal Election Commission records and personal social media accounts. Of their 22-person Global Leadership Council, 17 of the members support leftist leaders and causes.

“Yes, the taxpayer is footing the bill for additional leftist indoctrination programs in high schools.”
“Instead of teaching resilience, respect, and independence, students are taught to break down and cry, discuss their feelings, and check their social “privilege.””
No public schools = no AntiFa.

,,,,,,,, your 35 years late reporting this act of indoctrinating young people in our colleges .
No wonder high school graduates can’t do math or fill out simple forms. The schools are too busy turning them into Socialists.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. Why do people still have their kids in government schools?
What if they’re not victims? What if no one is?
This program has been around bc it came to my daughter’s middle school 7 years back. At that time the description, and some sponsors, set off red flags and research revealed Van Jones part in this scheme. He’s more than left of center. He’s extreme left.
* Can’t afford private school
* Don’t have the temperament to homeschool
* Think they cannot homeschool.
I know all the arguments and I know it can seem an almost impossible situation, but the #1 concern of all parents is their children. What sacrifice does it take? Would a parent donate a kidney to their child? Of course. Then perhaps it is time for parents to rebel against the government schools and do whatever it takes to protect their children from harm. The government knows that it is easier to send the kids to the local public school than to choose other options. Public schools will continue to deteriorate, and I wonder how much more it will take before parents refuse to put their children in these indoctrination centers.
You know where a whole lot of drugs are sold? Schools.
