I had no idea that "Everybody is important, and has the right to be safe and happy" was such a controversial statement.

It’s not a controversial statement but that statement is a LOT different and not equivalent to BLM principles. This is an organization that has demanded violence if it doesn’t gets its way. Last I checked, that is the definition of terrorism.

It's literally and word-for-word one of the principles.

Ok but the NRA has lots of nice sounding statements too, but they are still propaganda. I agree with many of BLM movements ideas but I don’t think they should be taught as doctrine- I don’t think they get everything right nor do any current movements. We are not some zealously nationalist country that has to brainwash our kids into beliefs to uphold our values. Our values our strong and can withstand robust debate.

Could you name two of them, please?

Also, could you explain why you believe MCPS is teaching kids the idea that everybody is important and has the right to be safe and happy as doctrine?

NP

I am all for teaching our kids that everybody is important and has the right to be safe and happy. I am not okay with teaching them about an anti-cop anarchist organization under the impression that it is a Civil right organization.

As a cop (a Black one as well, since apparently nowadays everything revolves around race), I would be incredibly angry if my 8th graded was taught about BLM, at least without contextualizing the damage, anger, and destruction caused by the organization and those operating under its banner. I was in Downtown DC during the riots, got spat on, attacked, screamed at, called all sort of swear words, “Uncle Tom,” “N-word,” “Oreo,” “Murderer,” basically whatever they felt like. I watched as my coworkers were similarly attacked. Sure, maybe not every rioter was a card-carrying BLM supporter, but they certainly called themselves “BLM and had no problem spouting off their mantra between curses.

There are many organization and the like out there, both historically and in current times, that actually advocate for justice for minority populations and pushing them upwards, not back into injustice. Just like how there are many organizations that push for responsible gun regulations and rights, while the NRA is mostly a shame. So why teach about one that encroaches on domestic terrorism at almost every protest or meet up they set up?

Thank you. You've stunned the wokes into silence. They believe every cop is a Trump-supporting racist (even though our chief is black). While they want to disagree with you because you've destroyed their world view, they won't know how to respond so I doubt they even will. It has been drilled into their heads that they must listen to black people (no matter what you say) because they believe you have special god-like purity and knowledge. They don't view you as human. I, on the other hand, love what you said and I'm glad you said it. Everyone should oppose all forms of racism enacted by any person of any color. This includes woke white lunatics who spout anti-white rhetoric to appear virtuous.
