Monumental education package to rid Illinois of systemic racism clears the Senate
Illinois Democrats ^ | 1/11/21 | IllDems

Posted on 01/12/2021 9:59:15 AM PST by AT7Saluki

Black children across Illinois are a step closer to being ensured a quality education under a plan led by Senate Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) that passed the Illinois Senate today. The legislation is part of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ plan to rid Illinois of systemic racism.

...

Rooted in equity, House Bill 2170 pivots away from teaching history from a Eurocentric perspective by reforming the state’s history curriculum through an Inclusive American History Commission that will make sure students learn about people from all backgrounds.

“For so long, we’ve taught American history in a way that ignores the contributions made by Black, Latino and LGBTQ people, and many others,” Lightford said. “We also ignore the horrible and inhumane way Black people were treated during slavery and how that history of mistreatment carries on today.”

"Equity". Not even lip service to "equality" anymore. There's a BIG difference.

Jesus Christ. You'd think that Illinois never made it out of the Civil Rights era. This is what we're going to be hearing for the rest of time.

The only systemic racism anywhere in this country goes by the guise of Affirmative Action.

“Black children across Illinois are a step closer to being ensured a quality education...”

Yeah, that’s exactly the opposite of what they are going to get.

I would say the dumbing down of America continues, except there really isn’t much to dumb down anymore.

"Progressives" are perpetually stuck in the 1930's and 40's. Most likely because that was the absolute height of their power, never before and never since had leftists held so much power in this country.

They controlled everything from the Presidency down to Dog Catcher.

Everything revolves around getting back to that.

This is called, curing racism via reverse racism.

The only way to cure any racism, is to make everybody equal... by making sure that either whites are completely eliminated, or blacks are completely eliminated. Barring that kind of cure, racism will exist for eternity. But, there is another solution: make everybody blind and take away their brains.

Will they teach there were black slave owners?

Poor children are best served by focusing on ensuring they can read, write, and do arithmetic.

If those foundations are not good, it does not matter what “feel good” BS they teach.

I was thinking about this the other night - what’s the best, ultimate, revenge of the Democratic Party which lost the civil war? Re-perpetuate racism.

The legislature can do all this plus give every black “family” half a million dollars, and in five years things will revert back to the same state of poverty, ignorance, crime and chaos.

American black culture, predicated on the idea that all problems are caused by skin color, is the problem. It’s a culture where it’s okay for women to have five babies with five different irresponsible men, being well educated is “acting white,” and generational welfare/disability cheating is perfectly acceptable. It also doesn’t help that the incompetent schools (run by blacks in the big cities) and unionized teachers are run for the convenience and enrichment of the teachers.

That statement is unsubstantiated.

....yes, as stupid, as uneducated, as poor, as plagued by illegitimate births, crime, and gangs.

But the Rats are fine with that. They WANT 12 percent of the US population to stay ignorant and totally dependent on taxayer-funded handouts.

Why aren't institutions charged with systemic racism prosecuted by the DOJ for a civil rights violation?

Answer, the DOJ would be embarrassed in court, lose the case and therefore the make believe talking point.

The State sponsored ‘Marxist Indoctrination’ continues.

1) Re-write history
2) Burn books

3) Replace with central-state approved propaganda, slogans, truths.
4) Enforce acceptance and compel obedience.

5) Actively monitor that assimilation into the Marxist collective conscious was successful.

6) Those who fail/refuse assimilation would be sent to re-education camps, to gulags or executed.
