Left-wing media have labeled conservative and concerned parents of all political tastes as conspiracy theorists and extremists for claiming that critical race theory is being taught in their children's public schools. Liberal speakers rolled their eyes on CNN and MSNBC, dismissing these arguments as merely coming from uninformed laymen mixing up undergraduate legal theory taught only in high-level law courses at universities.
It's been a tough time to be a conspiracy theorist, as the past few years have proven that most conspiracy theories are less theoretical and more realistic. One Strike, this week, in particular, proves that CRT is not only actively taught in public schools, but is being championed by teachers unions across the country.
This week marks Black Lives Matter Action Week in public schools across the country, and the curriculum reeks of CRT with a plethora of radical anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and anti-sexist tenets. If your child goes to a public school, especially in a liberal city, you may want to check their curriculum for the week.
What a week!
This week is school-sponsored Black Lives Matter (BLM) Action Week for participating public schools. Various participating sites include the Chicago Federation of Teachers, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Milwaukee Public Schools.
The BLM Action Week focuses on its four demands and thirteen guiding principles. The four requirements for BLM in school are:
- End the zero-tolerance policy and implement restorative justice
- Recruiting and retaining black teachers
- Black History and Ethnic Studies State
- Counselors, not policemen
Among the 13 guidelines are:
- Restorative justice
- sympathy
- Loving sharing
- diversity
- Globalisation
- Strange confirmation
- Confirm transit
- Collective value
- Between generations
- Black families
- Black villages
- Unapologetically black
- Black women
You'll notice that at least three of these are just names, not principles, but be nice to them, they probably went to public school too.
Among its most troubling principles, the organization defines transgender affirmation as:
“…a commitment to continuing to make space for our trans siblings by encouraging leadership and acknowledging trans violence, while doing the work needed to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans people.”

Black villages are defined as follows:
“…disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ of taking care of each other.”
Because the “Western nuclear family dynamics” of mother and father at home have long been the plight of young black boys and girls…not an increase absence From parents… right?
Nothing to be afraid of
In addition to “strengthening the queer affirming network” and “disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family,” BLM at School provided various school aids to participating districts. One of the teacher preparation documents entitled 4 things we can do to prepare for teaching BLM in the school week Challenges teachers to ask the following questions:
- How can we be intersectional?
- Transgender affirmation and queer affirmation in our classrooms?
Another suggested lesson plan on how to teach the Black Panther Party to pre-K and kindergarten students was sent to elementary school teachers. While understanding the history behind the Black Panther Party has added value at an age-appropriate level, it is fair to say that children who should be learning their alphabet, counting principles, and motor skills such as sorting and following basic instructions do not need to learn. The finer points of the Black Panther Party.
But it is more problematic than teaching the history of the Black Panther Party to an inappropriate age group. The lesson plan aims to He promotes The Black Panther Party's Ten Point Plan.
The goal of all these lesson plans and the week of work, in general, is not to educate children but to indoctrinate, energize and mobilize them for their Marxist, racist and gender-ideological cause.

Focused on violence
Not only has the Black Lives Matter BLM subgroup at the school pushed CRT and other harmful concepts onto America's children, but they have also jumped on the progressive pro-terrorism bandwagon. Following the October 7 attacks launched by Hamas on Israel, the movement issued the following statement:
“BLM@School wants to be clear in our recognition that this ongoing loss of Palestinian and Israeli lives is a direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land confiscation, occupation, siege, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians. Palestinians remind us that decolonization is not a metaphor Or abstract, but it requires real and daily struggle.
Let us not forget that this “struggle” and “reminder” came in the form of a brutal massacre of men, women, children and infants. Following the statement, BLM at School released a pro-Palestinian toolkit for teachers to use in grades K-12.
Because American children of all backgrounds struggle in reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and more actual History, groups like Black Lives Matter at School and complicit school districts working with the organization want to further subject young people to permanent servitude to the BLM movement. While they claim to want to free black children and communities from the slavery of “systemic racism,” they attempt to tie chains of victimhood around the minds and souls of those same communities.
