Revenge of the Gods; California’s Proposed Ethnic Studies Curriculum Urges Students to Chant to the Aztec Deity of Human Sacrifice.
City Journal ^ | 3/10/21 | Christopher F. Rufo

Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the “decolonization” of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism—all in the service of a left-wing political ideology.

The new program, called the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, seeks to extend the Left’s cultural dominance of California’s public university system, 50 years in the making, to the state’s entire primary and secondary education system, which consists of 10,000 public schools serving a total of 6 million students.

In theoretical terms, the new ethnic studies curriculum is based on the “pedagogy of the oppressed,” developed by Marxist theoretician Paolo Freire, who argued that students must be educated about their oppression in order to attain “critical consciousness” and, consequently, develop the capacity to overthrow their oppressors. Following this dialectic, the model curriculum instructs teachers to help students “challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs” and critique “white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression.” This approach, in turn, enables teachers to inspire their pupils to participate in “social movements that struggle for social justice” and “build new possibilities for a post-racist, post-systemic racism society.”

R. Tolteka Cuauhtin, the original co-chair of the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, developed much of the material regarding early American history. In his book Rethinking Ethnic Studies, which is cited throughout the curriculum, Cuauhtin argues that the United States was founded on a “Eurocentric, white supremacist (racist, anti-Black, anti-Indigenous), capitalist (classist), patriarchal (sexist and misogynistic), heteropatriarchal (homophobic), and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe.” The document claims that whites began “grabbing the land,” “hatching hierarchies,” and “developing for Europe/whiteness,” which created “excess wealth” that “became the basis for the capitalist economy.” Whites established a “hegemony” that continues to the present day, in which minorities are subjected to “socialization, domestication, and.......

The Aztecs want their land back. This seems like a great way to get rid of CA.

God controls the earthquakes, fires, and mudslides. He controls the Santa Anna winds. God has some of his own "chanting" awaiting idol worshiping Californians.

Well, how about banning Spanish, the language of the colonizers?

Ba’al is the deity of the left, today’s perverted political class, masquerading as do-gooders with Ds and Rs by their names.

The principal pillars of Baalism were child sacrifice, sexual immorality (both heterosexual and homosexual) and pantheism (reverence of creation over the Creator). Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity.

I hope parents take their kids out of these perverted “schools” en masse.

I was just discussing what the wives of Solomon, Ahab and other kings talked them into (idolatry).

advocates for the “decolonization” of American society

Seems to align with Deagel's forecasts for 2025 (population from 325M today to 100M in 4 years).

Here come’s Cannibalism 101. Of course the prerequisite will be Voodoo and Witch Doctor studies.

Well, that’s a good idea.

Let’s offer up R. Tolteka Cuauhtin to Tezkatlipoka for starters. Get a butcher knife from the home ec department and start chanting and chopping.

Been news hounding for a couple decades.

Never had a article rattle me till now .

A whole state of children calling on a demon.

Possession is real and very difficult and dangerous to deal with.

And California will be filled to the brim if parents don’t get this stopped.

Not many folks believe demons and possession are real now, but if this isn’t stopped, many will .

This will get people hurt.

Didn’t they just cancel Dr. Seuss for far less provocative racial stereotyping than this?

Ignorance is the hallmark of the kind of “pedagogy” endorsed by these advocates of insanity. If they should acknowledge that there were times when the Aztecs literally had run out of victims for the heart sacrifice, the romantic vision they try to evoke would be left very wanting. In one series of rituals over a four day period, at least 20,000 captives were sacrificed at temples in Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.

If this is a cultural and historical milieu they wish to celebrate, perhaps they can elaborate as to what they like about it most? Blood-lust for one’s enemies? Maybe cannibalism, also an Aztec ritual? Would be kinda off putting, to say the least.

Travis, you are right on. All this poop about the enlightened
natives of Pennsylvania who massacred the peaceful Quakers with glee and delight ?

Native cultures have positive attributes, but they hardly shied away from mass killings of their enemies and tortures unimaginable to civilized men.

How soon we forget?
