It slipped by without my noticing it, but our school board approved ethnic studies for all students in the San Diego Unified School District about a year ago. So far, two of our local schools have pilot programs. I noticed they are also pushing it for Santa Ana (Orange County) and Los Angeles and certainly cities in other states, too. I am sure it’s a nation-wide push. Check your local cities. They tried to pass a state-wide law, but it was vetoed by Jerry Brown, because he said it was already being planned for a state-wide modification of the social studies program. In truth he may have feared a general revolt against it. However, the cultural Marxist agenda is going forward in individual school districts in the hope that the public will sleep through it until it is too late to stop. There are already hundreds of ethnic studies departments in colleges and universities and a couple in high schools since the 1960s. It has long been a controversy regarding high schools in Tucson. Now, they want to expand it as many of the children, as possible, before they are old enough to be critical. Proponents also want to make it mandatory for graduation, turning the schools essentially into re-education camps for kids.
Cultural Marxism is an expansion of the traditional Marxist concept of class warfare. Cultural Marxism includes ethnic warfare, racial warfare, gender identity warfare, etc., as long as it is against the mainstream society. Pretty much any social conflict can be used by cultural Marxists to attain their goal of destabilizing society. Not many people will declare themselves to be a “cultural Marxist.” It’s an umbrella ideology, a doctrine of doctrines. Many subversive movements fit under the umbrella of cultural Marxism, even if the members do not call themselves that. However, the different flavors of cultural Marxism are what socialists and other subversives want to indoctrinate into the kids from kindergarten through high school. It’s intended to prepare the public for a social revolution and a real shooting revolution, if necessary. Some would say the shooting has already started with the BLM movement.
This clip is pretty long, 30+ minutes. I did not edit it down. But you can skip though it and get the idea.
The real question is what can be done about it? Would boycotting school bond ballot measures for cities and states that implement ethnic studies be too harsh? It would only take a few percent of the voters in many cases to sink a bond measure. If schools can afford to teach anti-Americanism and racial/ethnic resentment, they must have too much money, don’t you think?
If people want to brainstorm a subject like this, I can create a separate mail address for it, to which any member can subscribe and send e-mails to everyone else. I would just need to manually add your address to the list of members.
