Ultra-Woke Illinois Mandates Are Top Threat to U.S. Education
By STANLEY KURTZ
Step aside, California. Minnesota, hang your head. Illinois is the wokest of all, and what it does will spread.
Yes, woke K-12 curricula grounded in neo-Marxist Critical Race Theory are on the march through America’s schools. We’ve just learned that a California elementary school is forcing third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities and rank themselves by “power and privilege.” Although California governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a too-woke ethnic-studies high-school graduation requirement last fall, a reworked version, still saturated with Critical Race Theory, has just been released for public comment. Minnesota’s new draft social studies standards minimize key events in American history and stress “systemic racism” and “marginalization” instead. Cities like Seattle and San Diego are moving in the same direction. The egregious 1619 Project has already been adopted by school districts across the country.
Keep your eye on the under-the-radar case of Illinois, however. That is where woke has gone for broke, and America may soon pay the price.
On February 16, The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) of the Illinois General Assembly will decide whether to officially enact a rule already approved by the Illinois State Board of Education. The new rule is called “Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards.” It’s a doozy. Should the rule be ratified on February 16, the entire Illinois teacher corps will be effectively forced into political re-education and compelled to turn their classes into woke indoctrination sessions. We’ll look at details, but the most extraordinary in a raft of outrageous dictates is that teachers must “embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives.” Illinois is literally about to mandate that every one of its licensed teachers adopt progressive political orthodoxy and...

Who are the fools allowing their kids to attend these poisoning centers?
“Who are the fools allowing their kids to attend these poisoning centers?”
The Sheeple.
“...forcing third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities and rank themselves by ‘power and privilege.’ They’re bombarding little children with meaningless gibberish in order to prepare them for a lifetime of being comfortable with meaningless gibberish. They could be teaching in 4th century croatian for all these kids know what’s being said. But that seems to be the point.
They should sue these schools for child abuse but yes, I assume if they are democrap voters they act like sheep and go along with the garbage. “We are going to teach your children to be racists!” “Wonderful!”
They be woke
by pen strokes
of the folks
who need tokes
of their smokes
to put yokes
on the jokes
who need pokes.
(They are awakened to social justice realities by the dope smoking administrators’ penned signatures on orders to enslave the children of laissez faire parents under the yoke of socialism.)
Besides this, they also teach the kids to be nice little Marxists and brainwash them into believing Marxism is utopia. I debate students all the time on Twitter, Instagram. For some reason I slip under the radar of Twitter and they never banned me. If I badmouth Marxism on some democrap student site, you cannot believe the hate messages I get. “You know NOTHING about Marxism!” “Have you ever read Marx!” “Marxism is for ALL” “Another boomer pig” Boomer is supposedly an insult as people from the baby boomer era are capitalist pigs and are not “woke”.

How about: Culturally Responsive Academic Program?
“forcing third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities and rank themselves by ‘power and privilege.’ “
Can low IQ, laziness, thuggery on the part of one race be considered in the deconstruction of the racial problem?
When Obama was an Illinois Senator he and Bill (step on the American flag) Ayers had gained total control of the distribution of funds from the Annenberg foundation which they passed its millions on to lefty fronts offering courses to Illinois and Chicago schools pushing the what soon would be the BLM agenda. Author and investigative reporter Stanley Kurtz should be asked about this when interviewed about socialist plans for the suburbs. For at that time when Obama was doing this Kurtz tried to expose those radical left study programs over a program held by WGN radio Extention 720 hosted by Milt Rosenberg but was harassed and threatened by protesters who prevented a cohearent presentation.
