California Wants to Teach Your Kids That Capitalism Is Racist
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 30, 2019 | Williamson Evers

Posted on 07/30/2019 8:30:06 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

California’s Education Department has issued an “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum” and is soliciting public comments on it until Aug. 15. The legislatively mandated guide is a resource for teachers who want to instruct their students in the field of “ethnic studies,” and was written by an advisory board of teachers, academics and bureaucrats. It’s as bad as you imagine.

Ethnic studies is described in the document as “the interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with an emphasis on experiences of people of color in the United States.” But that’s not all it is. “It is the study of intersectional and ancestral roots, coloniality, hegemony, and a dignified world where many worlds fit, for present and future generations.” It is the “xdisciplinary [sic], loving, and critical praxis of holistic humanity.”

What’s racist is thinking blacks and Latinos aren’t capable of achieving without a handout.

This is really bad. The next generation will be totally unaware of history. This is quite simply the destruction of society. It is so depressing.

Certainly sounds like what the Merry Mariachi commie schools chancellor Carranza wants to do to NYC’s kids. He wants to push aside “irrelevant stuff like readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmatic” for the more important subjects such as racial equality, diversity, etc.-—a totally Marxist curriculum. And the mayor DumblASSio thinks it’s just peachy for him to do that, and is cheering him on with his blessing. The sooner they kick this bum out, or better, jail him & his thief wife, the better off NYC will be.

Whether right or wrong, the voting patterns of both groups, especially the blacks, seem to support that notion.

“What’s racist is thinking blacks and Latinos aren’t capable of achieving without a handout.”

Judging from what I’ve seen the overwhelming majority of them don’t seem to achieve even when they are given handouts.

They dont see it that way cause dems/libs have them believing everything in society is stacked against them so the handouts are just evening things out.

It’s made American blacks the richest blacks in the world. How is making non-whites much wealthier than they had been racist?

So much gobbledygook, so little time.

It’s time to start sueing educators personally for malpractice, and strip them of their ability to ever teach again. Same with Universities. It’s called Education, not Indoctrination!

The bottom line has always been to take out capitalism and “racist” or “homophobe” or “white nationalist” etc. etc....all those words and ideas have just been the tools.

Yep. This is just re-branding the same old Marxist struggle, only now instead of class warfare (which didn’t work) it’s race warfare.

If that ultra-prog word salad gobbledygook DESCRIBES the curriculum, can you just imagine how bad the actual curriculum will be?

Capitalism has brought more minorities into the Millionaire class than ANY OTHER GOVERNING FORM.

If you want to minorities to “stay put” just take capitalism away and that kid in North Philly will stay in North Philly.

Open your eyes, minorities, it’s the only way out.
