Everywhere this toxic curriculum is taught, the school board needs to be fired. There isn't a single worthy value being promoted, and forget the bullshit argument we've heard about the correct teaching of our history. This has zero to do with that. We're not going to teach this "it takes a village" bullshit.

You don't find any value in "mandating "Black History and Ethnic Studies" in classrooms"?

Which school districts, specifically, have adopted this curriculum?
 
You intentionally and dishonestly edited the quote to leave off the tail, from your own article:

""Black Villages is the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other," the starter kit reads."

So not disrupting the nuclear family, but some of its dynamics in favor of more community / village oriented dynamics, which mankind has had for 99.9% of its history.

You don't have to agree with this, but lying and being deceitful in your own thread title makes it hard to take you seriously.
 
In all fairness, turn off Fox News and read what they’re wanting taught.

Most of this is good stuff. If you take the spin off it that is put there by the “section names”

Example of “restorative Justice” they want to see, from their “starter kit”

“If you know down someone’s block building, you have to help them rebuild it…you can’t just say “sorry” and walk away”. (Teachers should be doing this already)

Collective value:

“Everyone is important, and has the right to feel safe and happy” (this should already happen)


Black villages and “western nuclear families” seems to be referencing the prevalence of the lack of nuclear families in some parts of the black community and calling for “communities” of support for one another. I firmly believe that it does, indeed, take a “village” to raise a child…so while the headline can be deceiving, I agree with what they are saying.

They want teachers to have to take college courses in teaching about Black History and Ethnic studies BEFORE doing any teaching. FIRMLY support this.

Read their actual starter kit.

You almost have to feel sorry for racist whites, almost. I mean they've been so indoctrinated by the elites and corporations that promoting community and shared sacrifice for the betterment of us all is some dangerous concept and rugged individualism where you fend for yourself and die alone in your trailer park without bothering any of your neighbors is a virtuous American ideal.

I think collective village dynamics are essential, particularly if there's strain on the nuclear model, which I think there is, not only in black communities but in communities all over the country. Humans evolved as collectivist units in which individuals had mostly equality and shared responsibility. There's mounting archaeological evidence for this. That doesn't remove individual responsibility to be a responsible, autonomous individual, but we're generally hardwired to be social and to be shaped be social forces.
 
Disinformation campaign is on full alert over at FoxNews!

There is nothing in the publication that call for targeting or harming anyone, nothing militant, and the publication specifically talks about community and "collective village" concepts of people taking care of each other.

FoxNews and the OP are intentionally being dishonest about what was said and what is intended.

I don't give a **** about your archeological evidence. That's not a nuclear family. If you want that move where they do that.
 
And…if you really want to get into “nuclear families” - the concept is completely foreign to MANY kids. And a village should be something that every child (and parent) has, but many do not.

What’s the divorce rate in the US? How many children are born outside of a “nuclear” family?

Whatever you (or I) might believe is “best” for a child isn’t the experience of every child. Even looking around my son’s predominantly white, upper middle class neighborhood class…*maybe* half the kids are living in “nuclear” families. Single parent homes, stepparents, blended families…they all exist just in his little bubble of 21 kids.

And even living in a “nuclear” family…as a Mom? I couldn’t function without my “village”. Kids AND parents NEED a village.

My examples, from my life: My son will NOT work on his site words with me. So…twice a week we go to Auntie’s house (one of my best friends…he calls them aunts/uncles) and he sits at their kitchen table and does site words with her.

Once a week, I pick up another friend’s daughter from HER K class, because Mom and Dad work late that day. She calls me Auntie.

Anytime I need a babysitter for an hour so I can go to the grocery store for an hour without my son or someone to stop by and let my dogs out…my neighbor helps me out and vice versa.

My Mom (my sons Grammy) passed away in August. The Moms of two of my best friends have stepped into the “void” because my in laws don’t live local. He now calls them iterations of Gramma. And they love on him like a biological Grandparent would.

They’re right, even if how they may have expressed it isn’t worded the best.
 
From the OP's citation:

"The week of action started on Monday in several schools from Washington state to Massachusetts, bringing to classrooms the activist-based curriculum that preaches controversial ideas."

I think that "activist-based curriculum" is an oxymoron when applied to education, and yet, this is exactly what the left has implemented, public education indoctrination in leftism. Only through brainwashing could they increase their voter base, and this is the venue in which they are doing it.

Yeah, the Left wants to redefine gender for 2 year olds. I'm not letting these perverts (who also promote pedophilia) determine the structure of society.
 
Irrelevant

It's your damn headline... LOL

Here I will help... This is the Denver School District...

I don't care if they do this stuff in colleges and universities. The students there are adults who can make their own decisions about accepting propaganda. But this should not be allowed in K-12. Children should not be subjected to propaganda.

Social activism has no business being allowed in those schools.

It's going to be a long month.

You're sidestepping the problem, on purpose. You don't need to make young minds militant. Only teach them the perverted doctrine and they will live it out as adults.

Then don’t.

I built my “village” well before I even had my son. My day to day life wouldn’t function without them. We rely on each other, lean on each other and support each other.

When my parents were alive, they lived in close proximity to their actual family (and each had large extended families). I don’t live near my extended family - so I’ve built a village of “framily” (friends that are family, we may not be related by blood, but we are tied together by love)

Villages are important and I would hope every family with children would have one. It is incredibly hard to “go it alone”

If the parents of the school want this in their school should they be denied?

What, as in exactly, is perverted from the doctrine? (And I've read it now, so what part bothers you?)
