If you seriously taught kindergarteners about homosexuality and transgender issues then I really hope you get fired. And that's not even considering the political indoctrination which should also be a fireable offense.

I cannot believe what this country has come to that this is happening in our public schools.

Why are you so threatened by this? Why shouldn’t children learn to accept everyone? Evolve. The world is moving on without people like you.

Do you really think that's what these lessons will be? Come on man. For instance, the principal at Ashburton ES is conducting anti-racism seminars in which will write down their various identities and then assign them as either oppressed or oppressor. These are 8 to 10 yr olds. What could go wrong?

MCPS is going all in on CRT (critical race theory) which is extremely racist. They probably won't call it that though. Instead look for SEL (social emotional learning) and culturally responsive curriculum. And it's being done during the 8th period connect time.

CRT is not "extremely racist." The only one who is racist is someone who would object to it by characterizing it as ""extremely racist."

Do you actually have a white robe and hood in your closet?

This is CRT in practice, right here in MPCS: https://twitter.com/marya_hay/status/1230546821346471939?s=20

"skin color is a problem that..." = racist

I think this is actually useful because white people get sooooo uptight and take it personally when people point out racism. If more white people understood these concepts, they could look at racism objectively and focus more on the problems and less on getting offended when somebody points out how lots of our institutions favor white people. (I’m white by the way)

But I know people hate hearing that their supposed colorblindness isn’t good enough so I’ll stop there.

If they were highlighting actual racism, I'd agree with you. But MCPS is about to redefine racism in Policy ACA as any difference measured by race if it disadvantages an underserved minority. That means if Asian kids score 20 points higher on a test than black kids, that will be racism. If the black kid calls the Asian kid a derogatory name for scoring better, that won't be racism. This is utter lunacy.

You’re... you’re really this stupid, aren’t you? Yikes.

What possible concern would you have with this? Wow.

DP, but MCPS has zero business advocating that nuclear families should be discounted in favor of collective “villages.”

And while other BLM principles are mostly self-affirming exercises for Black people, they should not be taking up a lot of educational time in an integrated public school system.

This is the entire thing right here. When white people react this way to having white privilege pointed out, they internalize it and take it VERY personally, as if it's an attack on their character. "Oh, *I* am not racist! *I* don't see color! How DARE these people accuse me of racism." But they also have never experienced what a POC has and they literally have NO IDEA what POC live with every day. But instead of shutting up and listening, they instinctually stomp their feet and protest that they are being attacked or they don't LIKE the messages that would even dare to suggest that they're not the wonderful people they think they are. The irony is most of them ARE good people. But if they would just drop their defensive dukes and listen a little more and talk a little less, and stop trying to control the narrative about race relations, they might come to a better understanding and we might actually make meaningful progress towards racial healing as a nation.

I would be furious, esp. at the k level. Just like I need to approve of my child participating in other controversial classes, ie. sex ed, dissection, religion, etc. I would want to know specifically what is being covered and why. All the focus on BLM has gone overboard.I wish MCPS would go back to the basics and leave these difficult conversations for the parents to handle. As it is, I am already teaching her grammar and math, subjects that MCPS does a terrible time teaching.

Why is the school spending an entire period highlighting a particular political movement? Isn’t BLM a political movement?

because that's the whole point of social studies?

This is not being taught in Social Studies.

The BLM class today at Wood was taught during an separate period.

That’s why we are starting to see a mass exodus from public schools right now which will change the landscape of everything from real estate prices to an even further widening of the ideological gap between leftists and everyone else.

LOL. Active fantasy life you lead there.

These aren't "leftist" ideas. They are common sense, decent people ideas. Anyone who is threatened by them SHOULD leave the schools though -- they're dregs on society and need to be cast out.

It's almost like people don't like being lumped together and treated poorly because of the color of their skin.

This can be taught appropriately if it is descriptive, not prescriptive. I sense that it is the latter, and that is not appropriate to public schools. It is akin to teaching the 10 Commandments or Apostle’s Creed as dogma.

Correct. These are far left, racist, progressive ideas. I'm left and I think CRT is insane.
