Living in the past and keeping it alive to control the black vote. That's what you are getting from the democrats. The history of the world is full of fault and change. We call it progress.
Making this claim is as stupid as making the claim that all black people are perpetuating violent crime in America. It's wrong and the data doesn't support it. It's democrat political lies designed to fool minorities into voting for them.At a time, in my opinion, when race relations in America are at an all time low, Buffalo school teachers apparently are required to use this curriculum in grades K-12.
The story of Buffalo Public Schools is a sad and familiar one: a dying industrial town, underperforming inner-city schools, and high rates of failure among racial minorities. Instead of focusing on improving academic achievement, however, Buffalo school administrators have adopted fashionable new pedagogies: “culturally responsive teaching,” “pedagogy of liberation,” “equity-based instructional strategies,” and an “emancipatory curriculum.”
Buffalo Public Schools diversity czar Fatima Morrell, architect of the district’s pedagogical revolution, summarizes these dense phrases in a single word: “woke.” Last year, in her role as director of the Office of Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives, Morrell created a new curriculum promoting Black Lives Matter in the classroom and an “antiracist” training program for teachers. According to one veteran teacher, who requested anonymity, Morrell’s training programs have pushed “radical politics” and, in practice, become a series of “scoldings, guilt-trips, and demands to demean oneself simply to make another feel ‘empowered.’” Teachers must submit to these “manipulative mind games” and express support for Morrell’s left-wing politics, or risk professional retaliation.

"In kindergarten, teachers ask students to compare their skin color with an arrangement of crayons and watch a video that dramatizes dead black children speaking to them from beyond the grave about the dangers of being killed by “racist police and state-sanctioned violence.”
"After Morrell’s presentation, one teacher reaffirmed this political imperative, declaring that students must become “activists for antiracism” and public school teachers should begin “preparing them at four years old.”

I was also able to find the following in the Buffalo Public Schools Black Lives Matter written curriculum.
What are the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter in Schools curriculum? There are 13 BLM Guiding Principles, please find the links here: 13 Guiding Principles and Kid-Friendly 13 Guiding Principles Buffalo Public Schools focuses its First Weeks lessons on the following Guiding Principles: Diversity, Restorative Justice, Collective Value, Empathy, and Loving Engagement. These principles are defined as: ● Collective Value means that all Black lives, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location, matter. ● Empathy is one’s ability to connect with others by building relationships built on mutual trust and understanding. ● Diversity is the celebration and acknowledgment of differences and commonalities across cultures. ● Loving Engagement is the commitment to practice justice, liberation, and peace. ● Restorative Justice is the commitment to build a beloved and loving community that is sustainable and growing.

So, the question is, What are the Buffalo School Teachers Teaching? I think for a very significant percentage of teachers, they will put the kids education first, and leave the politics, bias, and prejudice out of the classroom. But, I'm also concerned that a minority of them will not.

Fact Check: Are Buffalo Schools Teaching That Whites Perpetuate Racism?
Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) in Erie County, New York, found itself the subject of national headlines this week for its work incorporating anti-racist principles into its curriculum.www.newsweek.com
Bernie isn’t a socialist.
Specific to the 'liberal / progressive indoctrination' of the education system, appears to be an already well know and well understood pattern.Ok, I understand. Your position is certainly shared by others. Of course right now, I'm concentrating on a situation within the Buffalo Schools, and some of their curriculum. I agree that there are many schools moving in a liberal direction. There are also schools that are very conservative. I think for the most part, we should keep politics off the agenda until the kids cannot be easily influenced and have a base of learning that will help take them to graduation from High School and prepared for further education.
The high school 4 yr graduation rate in Buffalo is only 65%. Attendance and suspension rates are terrible and the schools in Buffalo are in the lowest rating by NYS for the preparation of students for higher education. Having said all that, the school leadership is trying to implement programs to improve on these horrible numbers. Much of the effort is based on getting the parents or families to come together with the school to improve these numbers.
Yes, the administration is responsible to get the job done along with the teachers. Unfortunately, many things affect their ability to get the job done. Lack of funding and parental involvement and assistance to get the kids to school and learn are almost impossible to overcome. I am less inclined to lay all the blame on the school system and teachers for the poor performance of the students.
My opinion is that failing education is likely to lead to a failing quality of life for many of these young adults. I'm sure there are many different opinions on what's wrong with the system than there are fixes.

How does that make Bernie "still not a socialist", as you put it?
It doesn’t. Just opens up the conversation to it’s appropriate aperture. Now we can ask: “which kind of socialist?” Where as before we were busy narrowing the goalposts.
No, it did exactly as I intended. If it worked really well, you won’t even notice.

I was interested in what was in the article from the link on your page. This is one paragraph of a very long article expressing a very disturbing theory and opinion.
Wokeness shares with other totalitarian movements a propensity to focus sharply on the indoctrination of young people, especially the very young: children and young people are blank slates, and hence, the hard work of erasing longstanding modes of thought is not required. Consequently, Wokeness is being deeply and aggressively injected into the educational curriculum at all levels. Having escaped the university, it made a beeline directly into the K-12 school system, to the point where a great deal of the standard curriculum for all schoolchildren in the United States is now completely structured around and endowed with substance in accordance with the absurdities contained within the indoctrination protocol. The movement even has its own youth groups for honored group children, which are strictly dedicated to the inculcation of Woke ideology and include participation in Woke-sanctioned marches and demonstrations.
As you said earlier, "I'll allow you to draw your own conclusions, but it does seem pretty compelling that the US education system has failed in educating their students, but is succeeding in liberal / progressive indoctrination of the student they should be educating"
And finally a part of the mission of a BLM group that I consider a very disturbing.....
