Black Lives Matter’s (BLM) “Week of Action” was observed in schools across America last week and has left parents outraged.
Numerous schools from Washington state to Massachusetts partook in the Week of Action from January 31 – February 4, where schools taught Black Lives Matter’s “13 Guiding Principles,” according to Fox News.
The principles include “Globalism,” “Queer Affirming,” “Trans Affirming,” and “Black Villages,” BLM’s website shows.
Under the principle of “Black Villages,” the page states:
We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.
A California father said that families received a message stating the school board approved the observance of BLM’s “Week of Action” and encouraged educators and schools to add the 13 guiding principles into the curriculum, according to Fox News. The father expressed his concerns in an email to members of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, which Fox News obtained. The email states in part.

Well, that's a hint there. I doubt that they are doing this on Peoria. Just a hunch of mine.
The principles include “Globalism,” “Queer Affirming,” “Trans Affirming,” and “Black Villages,” BLM’s website shows.
1. Restorative Justice
We are committed to collectively, lovingly, and courageously working vigorously for freedom and justice for Black people and, by extension, all people. As we forge our path, we intentionally build and nurture a beloved community that is bonded together through a beautiful struggle that is restorative, not depleting.
2. Empathy
We are committed to practicing empathy; we engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts.
3. Loving Engagement
We are committed to embodying and practicing justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one another.
4. Diversity
We are committed to acknowledging, respecting, and celebrating difference(s) and commonalities.
5. Globalism
We see ourselves as part of the global Black family and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black folk who exist in different parts of the world.
6. Queer Affirming
We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual unless s/he or they disclose otherwise.
7. Trans Affirming
We are committed to embracing and making space for trans siblings to participate and lead. We are committed to being self-reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cis-gender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
8. Collective Value
We are guided by the fact all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status or location.
9. Intergenerational
We are committed to fostering an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism. We believe that all people, regardless of age, show up with capacity to lead and learn.
10. Black Families
We are committed to making our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We are committed to dismantling the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” that require them to mother in private even as they participate in justice work.
11. Black Villages
We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.
12. Unapologetically Black
We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a necessary prerequisite for wanting the same for others.
13. Black Women
We are committed to building a Black women affirming space free from sexism, misogyny, and male‐centeredness.
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.
I wonder why the Irish slaves that were brought here prior to any blacks from the African continent never get a mention? Funny how “Irish need not apply” never see’s the light of day?
The Irish and others did not have Melanometric Privilege, nor The Race Card, which as we know, has no expiration date!
There will be chanting for the Sharpton crowd:
Barbecue, watermelon
Cadillac car
We’re not as dumb
As you think we is!
We should have picked our own cotton.
The only action they should take is getting a job and stopping the violence against the country they hate so much.
Thanks. I probably should have included the list. Maybe we could add the kwanza tenets while we’re talking BS. :-}
BLM has only ever embraced hurting all others and greed. Show me the penny that has been invested back into any black neighborhood.
Their followers are either grifters like them, or should be ashamed for ever having pushed any of their lies.
We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.
American Marxism in action or as the democrats call it fundamental change.
