I’m teacher. This is how my school tries to raise children – Orange County Register

Last year, I left my job as a public high school teacher in Salinas, California, after five years. I love helping students realize their great potential. But it became clear to me that school officials were obsessed with leftist preaching, and dissenting voices—like my own—not welcome.

Right now, public education officials are doing their best to convince concerned parents that an ideology that falsely asserts America is founded on systemic racism and that our educational institutions still discriminate against black Americans like me not being taught to children. I am here to tell you that those officials are not honest.

In the fall semester of 2020, I noticed something strange: Many of my students who spoke English as a second language failed a required ethnicity course. Because the teachers at the school used the same online platform for lesson plans and learning materials, I was able to access the ethnographic lessons. While I expected to see a lot of attacks by America, what I found legitimately shocked me: Just about every lesson had some element of racial theory that mattered in the there.

Children learn about the so-called four egos of oppression (institutional, internal, ideological and interpersonal). The course says students will use color sequences to “rank” their different identities to create a “crossing rainbow”. And the class even includes a “privilege quiz” that guides students to determine how disadvantaged they are – or privileged –.

These are not just general suggestions of what students can learn or additional notes for the faculty to use. These are the lessons that students have actually been taught. To be clear, this is nothing short of a mixed brainwashing of our young people from start to finish.

Left-wing activists in California have not been afraid to campaign for segregation to address perceived institutional racism. We saw this in 2020 with Proposition 16, a ballot initiative that allows state and local government agencies to discriminate on the basis of race in public employment, contracts and hiring. school student. Fortunately, Californians have completely rejected this policy of racism, but progressives continue to strive to sow their beliefs down people’s throats — even if it means teach children by spreading extremist racial propaganda.

Parents have the right to know what their children are learning. Thankfully, one parent advocate was able to get his hands on an ethnic studies curriculum — which helped shed some light on what was really going on in the classroom — but the phrase “Critical Race Theory” was dropped. remove. I took action and wrote a letter to the administration objecting to the curriculum. That letter was read aloud during a school board meeting, but by the time the next meeting was around, anti-CRT comments had been banned.

When it comes to my beliefs, I’m a minority on my campus, and my district isn’t very kind to people who disagree with the agenda they’re trying to push students forward. Let me put it this way: If you’re wondering if Critical Racial Theory is a good thing for our country, try speaking out against it and see how people treat you. how. For me, that’s when the racism really started.

So I left my job, and my husband and I moved to Florida. Finally, I feel accepted and I am opening an online K-12 school, Exodus Institute (thinkexodus.org). But I remain deeply concerned for the students and families in California who are being held hostage by public school officials and their agenda.
