It's amazing how we've turned away from the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King. Note that the end of the article gives a link to a noleftturn ipetition to stop the teaching of critical race theory and social justice in Virginia Beach schools.

Noleftturn in Education is an organization dedicated to combating these troubling trends in secondary education. So far, they have chapters in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

If capitalism is racist and socialism is anti-racist then everything and everyone should be “racist”.

Thank you for that link.

Last school board meeting in Wisconsin small town had a special presentation from someone who called himself an "anarchist" when responding to a critical question. "I don't want to take sides in a political dispute. I'm an anarchist"

From the link:
Fishbein, a doctor of social work, said in a telephone interview with The College Fix that her journey as leader of this movement began after she wrote to the superintendent of her school district, its principal, and the school board, voicing concerns about the elementary school’s new “cultural proficiency” curriculum.

“When they announced the change of the lesson plan a couple of days before the end of the school year, I opted my kids out of those lessons because they seemed to my husband and myself as ‘racist,’ and we did not understand what they wanted to achieve in it, and we felt they were really pandering to some political agenda and virtue signaling,” she said.

After weeks of not hearing back, Fishbein said she made her letter public by posting it to the group Facebook page of the school’s parents as a way to encourage discussion, but instead was “butchered online” by about 15 parents.

Before her post was taken down, parents she described as “woke” publicly denounced her and her letter as “racist.”

“But I read it and re-read it and cannot find one syllable that is indicative of any racism—of any sort,” Dr. Fishbein said. “That’s problematic when somebody hijacks the language, when somebody attributes different meanings to words that we all supposedly at one point agreed on.”

Still, Fishbein said she had received tons of support from parents privately.

“But all of them also indicated they were afraid to speak up,” she said. “They were afraid of the consequences. So, that’s when I realized that we’ve reached a very dangerous point in the United States, where we have the First Amendment, but people are so afraid to speak up, to pose their opinion, to pose their objection and, in this case, support their kids, because this is standing to protect your children. And, parents were so terrified of doing that. That’s when I actually decided to launch the movement.”

No Left Turn’s stated goals include to “mobilize parents all over the country, in every school and locality to organize and become actively involved in overseeing the education of their children.”
