TOP LOUISIANA EDUCATION BOARD MUST PROTECT CHILDREN FROM CRITICAL RACE THEORY
Guest post by Christopher Alexander
The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) is playing with fire. The only concern is whether the flame fired up by BESE that threatens to feast on the hearts and minds of Louisiana’s youngest students is deliberate or borne of lack of knowledge and naivete. Any reader of this piece who is worried about how close we are in Louisiana and America usually to surrendering our public education system to sworn opponents of the United States Constitution should act, and act now.
On December 13, 2022, BESE authorized a brand-new set of Early Childhood Development Standards (ECDS) that Leftist teachers throughout the Country have actually been seeking for years. These brand-new requirements should be carried out by every early knowing organization in Louisiana that gets taxpayer cash. The last vote was 6-4, with Republicans Holly Boffy and Ashley Ellis casting definitive votes in favor of the brand-new requirements.
In the future, when and if the federal government ends up being the moms and dads of our kids and teaches them to dislike conventional American concepts of human liberty and inalienable rights preserved in the Constitution in favor of harmful concepts like Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Gender Identity (GI)- when our really youngest students are totally indoctrinated to see the world and their fellow trainees completely through the lens of viewed racial and gender injustice- the names Boffy and Ellis need to be kept in mind, unless they alter course
There is still time for them to alter course by doing precisely as recommended later on in this piece, in order to prevent a total surrender of the next generation to the predatory wolf in sheep’s clothes poised to feast on Louisiana’s public education system.
The brand-new early knowing requirements remove 75% of the previous longstanding, in-depth requirements out there in Louisiana. Since of their information in articulating particular curricula, there was little space in the previous requirements for the injection of radical, anti-American principles such as CRT and GI. The brand-new requirements leave undamaged the existing principle of “Social Emotional Development”, however strip the principle of its standard criteria consisted of in the previous requirements. Educators are entrusted the task to advise their youngest trainees in “Social-Emotional Development”, however no longer have any particular curriculum to depend on in order to do so. Our instructors have actually been provided a ship without any rudder and no navigation system. Or so it appears.
Could it be that this is all by perverse style? In 2016, throughout the Obama period, the federal government included a “non-academic proficiency” sign as a requirement in order to determine the “non-academic” development of American public school trainees. Seemingly in order to please this brand-new federal requirement, popular Leftist education companies took upon the chance to establish such “non scholastic” principles as CRT and GI and to inject them into the blood stream of our public school system. Due to the nationwide reaction (most significantly in Virginia) versus CRT and GI specifically specified as such, the Left altered its techniques by altering its terms.
CRT is now understood by the apparently safe title “Social Emotional Learning” (SEL). It is anything. SEL is a principle promoted by the Leftist-dominated Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). SEL asserts all education on the exact same lie that underlies CRT and GI:
America is a naturally racist, sexist, and gender-phobic nation that needs to be changed at its core.
The supreme objective of SEL, just like CRT and GI, is to change moms and dads with the State, specific self-respect with the “cumulative awareness”, and equivalent rights under the law with concepts of institutional racial and gender victimhood. Each of Louisiana’s earliest students will fit nicely into either the class of “oppressors” or the class of “victims” based exclusively upon race or gender.
The SEL system, at its core, teaches that the United States Constitution itself is established upon bigotry and gender injustice and is for that reason irredeemably corrupt. While the brand-new BESE requirements do not particularly state this (even if they would not go this far in specific terms), based upon the injection of SEL into school curricula throughout the nation this is plainly the objective in Louisiana. Boffy’s and Ellis’ failure to acknowledge the composing on the wall will have devastating effects for Louisiana trainees and moms and dads.
Now the hope. Due in substantial part to the worthy efforts of lots of Louisiana education advocacy groups, BESE has actually accepted re-open its public remark website up until January 10, 2022.
The only hope staying for Louisiana trainees- and there is still hope— is for every single worried Louisiana resident to “pound the website”. That is, go to the LACAG immediate Call to Action page and take the basic actions to make your voice heard on the BESE remark website in between now and January 10 Tell BESE that you oppose the present requirements and need that BESE vote, in its upcoming conference on January 18, to send out the brand-new requirements to the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) for more evaluation and factor to consider LACAG has factor to think that LDOE will undoubtedly even more modify the brand-new requirements to make them far less susceptible to SEL impact. BESE needs to vote to provide the LDOE this chance. Inform BESE that you will hold them responsible if they do not vote to send out the requirements to LDOE. Boffy’s and Ellis’ vote on January 18 will make the distinction in this vital vote.
It deserves keeping in mind that we would not remain in the circumstance we remain in if our public organizations attended to Martin Luther King’s popular obstacle to evaluate each other not by the “color of our skin” however by the “material of our character”.
We can and should go back to this classic reality for the good of our Country, our State, and our kids. And the American education administration need to either stop casting the United States Constitution as the opponent or be ruthlessly exposed for its failure to do so.
The eyes of Louisiana residents throughout the State are on BESE.
