CRT and DEI – What are they teaching?

So much of what the education elites do is couched in misleading language. The current uproar about “CRT”- Critical Race Theory, also known as “DEI”- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is just another example. Recently the Washington State Legislature passed a law requiring school staff and school board members to be trained in Critical Race Theory, but it does not mention CRT anywhere in the bill. Instead the bill refers to “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” and “cultural competency”.  When parents in Washington state complain to their school boards about CRT being taught in their district, school boards have been known to respond with, “Oh no, we’re not teaching CRT.”

Social Emotional Learning: Creating the “Perfect” 21st Century Child

Sponsored by Research Mom and Citizens United for Responsible Education

(Lavender Building on the corner of Jackson and N. Cincinnati)

• Government schools are re-programming your child’s social and emotional state from preschool through K-12.
• Time is already scarce for teaching basic academics and doing test prep, so why add social/emotional learning?
• This encroaches on parents’ rights to raise their own children.
• Data-collection on your child is essential to it all.

Learn about this and more.

SEL: “Social Emotional Learning” or “Something Evil Lurks” ?

Social Emotional Learning is an increasing focus of schools and school legislation. The “experts” believe that they can improve students’ academic performance, peer relationships, outlook on life — everything– by embedding social emotional learning into each day’s activities and lessons. After all, that’s what schools are for, right? To treat the “whole child?”

This is a dangerous trend. The influences at schools – peer pressure, conflicting values presented in the curricula, the selective presentation of controversial issues–already serve to distance children from their parents. Now the education elites plan to assess children’s social emotional state- sometimes through stealth assessments,  and on the basis of that data-mining they can personalize a curriculum to “help” the children’s psyches.

A Connecticut mom was left appalled and angry when a school district’s kindergarten application asked whether her child was delivered by C-section or not. The district was asking extremely intrusive questions, ostensibly to detect any potential health or emotional problems in enrolling youngsters. Read about the survey here.

School staff are increasingly becoming pseudo-psychologists and -psychiatrists. Meanwhile less and less academic information is being taught.

Remember you can refrain from answering questions in school forms (or other forms, for that matter)  that you find too intrusive.

A Batavia High School teacher, John Dryden, was disciplined for explaining to his high school students that they had Constitutional rights protecting them from answering personal questions on a survey the school was conducting. The survey was not anonymous. Current and past students of Mr. Dryden rallied around him in support. A report of disciplinary […]
