Do you have access to the syllabus? I haven't been able to find one for the AP course.
google is your friend

and it isn't based on the 1619 project or Kendi. It is based on, you know facts and history.

Yes, actually. This is a school forum. Children are actually what the focus is here. The fact that you mock that idea says everything—you are more concerned with pushing some objectionable gender or racial ideology than you are with what is actually good for kids. You shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kids, including own, if you even have any.
You want to take away people’s kids bc their political views are different from yours? But the progressives are the ones we need to fear.
Keep politics out of schools.
It IS this simple.
Keep politics and indoctrination out of schools, you Evangelists and Wokes and Scientologists and Communists.
Schools are for Education.
You don’t even know what any of what you said means. Just capitalizing random words like your orange god.
Views of history and society they agree with are “education”; views they disagree with are “politics”
Need more schooling on fact versus opinion. reporting vs OpEd.
Mmmhmm. For example, “opinions” like African American history, which Ron DeSantis has banned from Florida schools before it can brainwash anyone into thinking about slavery and its legacy. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/01/19/politics/ron-desantis-ap-african-american-studies/index.html
Right, DeSantis’ approach is stupid and frankly absurd. Kids should be able to confront uncomfortable opinions in school. But that also should hold true for ideas the progressives hold as orthodoxy. I do not understand how as a culture we seem to have collectively agreed that kids should go through life never encountering an idea that makes them the slightest bit uncomfortable. There is very little air between what DeSantis is doing and the “safe spaces” academic progressives demand.
What topics or issues are being rejected for conversation or debate by progressives?
I think almost anything having to do with gender ideology, for starters. The example above of the girl track athlete who says in debate class that she does not think it is fair or just that she is pitted against pre-medical-transition trans girls on the track is not a far-fetched hypothetical. She would likely face disciplinary measures in many private schools for just saying that, even in debate classes.
Actually at schools like Sidwell and GDS, they would have frank discussions about these issues. Please cite and example where discussion of these issues result in disciplinary action. You are just projecting BS onto schools you want to label as woke without any basis in fact.

Didn’t Fairfax public schools kick out parents even asking questions about the new k-8 CRT social studies curriculum? They illegally disallowed discussions on it with taxpayers and shut down the public meeting.
There is no such thing as a k-8 CRT curriculum. So....if parents are being beliigerant in requesting something that doesn't exist be removed, it's...a waste of time. And from the videos I saw, these parents were rude and frothing at the mouth in their diatribes against the school board members.

More like, classic woke propaganda.
A hundred times over the last 5-10 years, when I go deep into any big outrage topic like this (and I'm a researcher so I know how to access and digest primary sources), I find little but bias and exaggeration.
This obsession with Florida is a great example. The guy just got reelected and with a massive margin by FL standards, but the woke media-corporate complex wants you to believe he's Hitler.
I find it disgusting.

Seeing as there isn’t and never has been a CRT curriculum in any grade, you may want to reconsider your news sources.
I recall mass media supporting the lack of discussion as well and slandering parents who had a right to speak at the public meeting but were denied. calling them bigots and MAGA. Anyhow, courts had to get involved because of lack of transparency, rights, disclosures, and liberties.

No one is forcing you to send your kids to elite private schools. Assuming they could even get in.
Go send your spawn to one of the handmaiden schools.
Are those the only options in your mind?

Yup. Among a million other examples of censorship, intimidation and abuse.
Today's "progressives," the so-called wokes, have become a totalitarian force.
