California board of ed approves "Ethnic Studies model curriculum" requiring K-12 students to chant prayers to...

Revolutionaries--and revolutionary school boards--do much of their damage behind closed doors.  The reason is obvious:  You want to put all the pieces in place before letting the rubes know what you're about to do, so they don't have time to organize any effective resistance.

A month ago, conservatives learned about a program Cali leftists had concocted, called the "Ethnic studies model curriculum."  It includes telling students that their society is raaacist and sexist and generally awful, and then making students chant to Aztec gods, praying to be better revolutionaries. 

Hey, nothing harmful there, right?  Cuz what the nation really needs is more America-hating youth, and this is how we make "unenlightened" American kids into wokie adults, see?  "All quite innocent, citizen.  Trust us, we're experts."

When conservatives finally learned about the details of this so-called "model curriculum" it was already before the state board of ed, which would vote in two weeks on whether to approve it for all Cali indoctrination centers (formerly known as K-12 schools).

Now, you might think that once the details of this ghastly piece of anti-American propaganda had been exposed, the members of the state board of ed would have been...um...a bit less eager to vote yes on it, eh?

Not a chance.  Quite the opposite:  Voting to approve it would be seen as virtuous, "progressive," woke.  Enlightened.  Anti-raaaacist.  Anti-Christian, thus hip.  And sure enough, on March 18th the board approved it.

The Lying Mainstream Media quickly gushed their total approval.  CNN's headline is typical, carefully omitting "controversial."  Just another routine decision by dedicated public servants wanting the best results for America, eh?

 

 

The CNN piece is total propaganda.  The third sentence of the article reads,

The curriculum has been under development for nearly four years, and the version approved was the fourth draft.

In journalism they teach that "reports" should lead with the most relevant parts of a story, and leave the trivia to the end.  The line quoted above is trivia, so why did the CNN "reporter" and editor put it in the third sentence? 

It's because they want readers to focus on the claim that getting young K-12 students to chant prayers to Aztec gods has been oh-so-carefully considered, painstakingly reviewed.  That's the significance of "the version approved was the FOURTH draft."  

Because the story takes care to tell you right away--in the third sentence!--that this "model curriculum" was carefully reviewed, most readers conclude that it can't possibly be anti-American or otherwise harmful, eh?  Cuz you'd logically think no state school board would ever force a curriculum on students if it was anti-American or harmful, right?

While that would have been a logical conclusion in earlier times, it's not at all logical today--because California's entire public-education system is run by communists.

The fourth sentence of the CNN piece is equally propagandistic:  It begins, "Though the curriculum is voluntary..."  While that may be technically true, for all practical purposes it's a lie, included in the story to make the vote less outrageous.  Cuz "voluntary," eh?  But every school administrator will know that future promotion--especially to the highly lucrative, highly coveted post of "superintendent of schools" in every district, will only be possible if a candidate has sworn his or her allegiance to the "voluntary" curriculum.
