Panel approves ‘culturally responsive’ teaching standards (IL)
Capitol News ^ | 2/17/21 | Peter Hancock

Posted on 02/18/2021 8:13:30 AM PST by AT7Saluki

Specifically, the new standards, which will take effect in 2025, define a culturally responsive educator as, among other things, one who will “critically think about the institutions in which they find themselves, working to reform these institutions whenever and wherever necessary,” as well as one who will “assess how their biases and perceptions affect their teaching practice and how they access tools to mitigate their own behavior (racism, sexism, homophobia, unearned privilege, Eurocentrism, etc.).”

“Culturally responsive teachers and leaders understand that there are systems in our society that create and reinforce inequities, thereby creating oppressive conditions,” the standards state. “Educators work actively against these systems in their everyday roles in educational institutions.”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Culturally responsive = lessened standards for selected groups = “they” do not think these groups are capable of excelence in those areas

Making segregation seem like a good idea to the groups they intend to oppress.

What you speak of as soft racism is biological reality

I don’t see any action to combat antisemitism or antichristian or antitheist attitudes in schools.

“...access tools to mitigate their own behavior (racism, sexism, homophobia, unearned privilege, Eurocentrism, etc.).”


I taught junior high history. I explained to the kids that we’d be spending a lot more time on English history than the history of other nations, not because England was a better nation or had better laws, but because the United States was the historic and political ‘child’ of England. Our laws, politics, and traditions are based on theirs and of course our language is theirs too.

It doesn’t matter if a kid’s ancestors came from Africa or China. We don’t follow African or Chinese laws and customs here. So I guess I was and still am guilty of ‘Eurocentrism’

Of all the interlocking Marxist takeover elements, one which had a solution that went neglected is the K-12 school system.

Although my wife and I were not blessed with children, I know the parents around us just let the teachers and administrators and unions run on automatic pilot ——heading into Leftist brainwashing. Neglect of parent-teacher or community meetings led to more and more leftist nonsense about “how awful America has always been.”

College kids’ parents in their 40s-55 or so already were taught the lies and think it’s noble to parrot them.

Lesson plans, exam booklets and textbooks will say "Made in China." Is that close enough?

Don't look now but the Left is coming for faith based school accreditation removal and same for home schooling.

I use that same explanation. The truth is what it is- our language, culture, forms of government, are products of Western Europe. I would and do say the US is the penultimate product of the Enlightenment.
