More examples picked up from those described by Christopher Rufo of neo-Marxism in institutions controlled by the clique of believers.
«In 2020, however, many families had been keeping closer tabs on their children’s education because of the corona virus lockdowns and remote learning requirements. The curriculum, they discovered revealed its radicalism in the details.
One family, which had moved to Beaverton int part for the city’s highly rated public schools, collected a folder of lesson being taught to their third-grade child. (…)
The final modules presented the solution: students must embrace the principles of "revolution," "resistance," and "liberation." The teacher introduced these principles through a series of photographs of child activists, the Black Power fist, and Black Lives Matter demonstrations, (…) In the final lesson, the curriculum instructed third graders to "do the inner work to figure out a way to acknowledge how you participate in oppressive systems," (…)
Families who leamed about the curriculum were outraged.
One mother, who originally emigrated from Iran to the United States, said the lessons were "absolutely unacceptable" and reminiscent of the political indoctrination in the Islamic Republic. "I moved here because this is America, because of the rights and the opportunities that we have. And this is not where I want my country togo," she explained. When asked about her own childhood in Iran, she broke down in tears. "I remember when we would line up in the morning in an assembly. We had to chant 'Death to America.' I remember being in elementary school and thinking, 'I don't want to chant this. I have aunts and uncles in America. I don’t want them to die.” (...)
The mother pointed out that many Iranians initially supported the Islamic Revolution in 1979 in order to depose the shah and usher in a better world, only to be bitterly disappointed. (…)
And, she believed, it could happen in America: "I'm fighting this at the school and even at my work, because I see this country going that way." Unfortunately, the kind of teaching in Beaverton is no longer the exception in the state of Oregon-it is fast becoming the rule. ln 2017, Oregon state legislators passed a bill that overhauled the state curriculum and installed a mandatory "ethnic studies" program that reflects the emergent racial orthodoxy, which, in the language of the Critical! Ethnic Studies Association, promises to deconstruct, dismantle, abolish, eradicate, resist, and interrupt the component parts of the liberal order.»
