A school system in Maine has instituted its own burgeoning Red Guard called the “Civil Rights Team.” This benign-sounding organization of kids is supposed to ensure that student rights are upheld. What has happened instead led to parents sounding off at the latest school board meeting to complain that the Civil Rights Team is just a bullying organization with an agenda. The Maine Wire covered the story:
"Kristen Day said students affiliated with one of RSU 14’s Civil Rights Teams harassed her daughter. When her daughter refused to speak about her sexuality, two students affiliated with the club began to bully her and call her homophobic.
“They insisted she was gay because she dressed gay and listened to gay music,” Day said of her daughter, who was a 7th grader at the time of the alleged harassment.
“She was then called homophobic because she wasn’t at least bi,” Day said.
“She’s not political, but she does not want to talk about her sexuality in school,” she said."
Day went on to describe how the CRT (Is it a coincidence that their acronym mirrors Critical Race Theory?) founded by the Maine Attorney General’s office, pressured the kids into wearing pronoun pins.
"Civil Rights Teams (CRTs) operate in Maine schools as a project of the Maine Attorney General’s Office, and the nominal goal of the student organizations is to reduce “bias-motivated” bullying and harassment in schools.
Day said her daughter was harassed about her sexuality by students affiliated with the school’s CRT under the pretext of opening a discussion about student sexuality.
CRT members also created surveys for their peers to take with questions about sexuality and gender, and they pressured them to don “pronoun” pins, Day said."

Society is rotten to the core. This isn’t going to end well.
The days of aerodynamic paddles and baseball bats as tools of discipline ... They worked ... it was a “spare the rod” sort of thing.
“Civil Rights Team” (also known as "CRT")...was founded by the Maine Attorney General’s office, pressured the kids into wearing pronoun pins.Which, naturally, immediately descended to bullying and harassing of those kids who would not fall in line with the Soviet diktats."Civil Rights Teams operate in Maine schools as a project of the Maine Attorney General’s Office, and the nominal goal of the student organizations is to reduce “bias-motivated” bullying and harassment in schools.
This country desperately needs heads on pikes outside the woke schools and in town squares.
And in Maine they are turning the kids into groomers.
got paddled a few times myself- never did me an ounce of harm- and resulted in knocking some sense into me-
“”Civil Rights Teams (CRTs) operate in Maine schools as a project of the Maine Attorney General’s Office,”
Sue them till they cannot afford to exist
If you can’t afford private schools and are too lazy to seek out charter schools or other alternatives like home schooling, you shouldn’t have kids. It really is that simple.
Those who are lazy and then complain about what happens to their kids in public schools richly deserve what they get.
tell me you’re in a blue state without telling me you’re in a blue state...
As usual, a civil rights defense group is the prime offender of everyone else’s civil rights.
Let's settle this the good old fashioned way, Let's Rumble!
Words fail.
HILLSDALE COLLEGE cannot build their charter schools quickly enough.
Meanwhile-—HOME SCHOOL
No bias at all…
…except against normal heterosexual humans.
Download the movie done in 1981 called “The Wave”. This Maine school program reminds me of this movie. Very enlightening and I never thought this movie would be real in the future.
I am not in any way manner shape or form viewing the past thru some self biased lens when I say THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN JR HIGH. The shock registered by such a question and the quickness of the instantaneous beat down would have been something to see. This bunch of CRT would have been hunted like dogs. I just don’t get how thes kids have no outrage button.
Close all government schools.
This is out of control. Nothing good will come from this fascist woke agenda in all its forms, including equity/CRT.
When teachers, counselors and admins in the system actively groom students for years to sit down, shut up, accept the new normal, disallow self-defense, and continue to push the leftist agenda, average kids are afraid to push back on these things. Even minor resistance can often make things worse, particularly if parents don’t understand what’s really happening, which is easy since getting honest answers about curriculum and culture is difficult.
But I completely agree with you. This stuff would not have been permitted by teachers, much less pushed onto other students by students themselves, without major negative reactions from the kids and the parents.
