Is the Marxist-founded “Black Lives Matter Global Network” organization (commonly identified as BLM) indoctrinating your kids through your schools? The founder of “Black Lives Matter At School” says they are two completely separate organizations. We’ll let them argue over that and focus our attention on Black Lives Matter At School. That will keep us busy enough.
In case you think that black lives do matter, (black lives, as well as all lives, definitely do matter) and you believe uplifting all lives, raising all children to their full potential, is what this program is all about, let’s take a look at what their goals are. This program is being widely taught across the United States.
The curriculum they offer has been prepared for pre-school kids through 12th grade. There are coloring books and other material described as “kid-friendly.”
They have a chart defining their Thirteen Guiding Principles. Their website states, “We seek to expand student understanding of these principles through the week of action.”
Let’s take a look at their Thirteen Guiding Principles.
- Restorative Justice
- Empathy
- Loving Engagement
- Diversity
- Globalism
- Queer Affirming
- Trans Affirming
- Collective Value
- Intergenerational
- Black Families
- Black Villages
- Unapologetically Black
- Black Women
Some of these principles may sound reasonable, and attitudes your kids should adopt. I suggest you read some of the explanatory material. The description for the eleventh principle, Black Villages, reads:
We are committed to disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. [Emphasis added]
Why would one of the goals of anyone with good intent be to destroy a nuclear family of mother, father, and children all living together, and prefer “villages that collectively care for one another”?
Principles six and seven are Queer Affirming and Trans Affirming. Their descriptions of these two include,
. . . with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking” and “We are committed to being self-reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cis-gender privilege . . .
Is this what you want your schools to devote precious learning time to? Perhaps it is high on your list of educational needs, but in case it isn’t, it is going to be up to you to confront your school board and have it removed. It will be up to you to opt your kids out of these classes. It will be up to you to teach your children the love of God for all the world, for we are all His, and he made us.
Eve Lederhouse, a mother in the Ames Community School District in Iowa, is by her own description a woman of faith and a minority, but she’s opposed to BLM At School. She said, “The teachings are crossing a line by offering a different standard regarding issues ranging from human sexuality to family values. And that’s contrary to what my husband and I, and millions of others think.”
Let me know what you think.
