[LFC Comments:  Thanks to Lobbyist Janice for this article.  We consider this whole movement in the schools as child abuse.  We would recommend parents know what is being taught or not taught in the public schools.  This type of training can even turn the children against the parents.  Think homeschooling whenever possible.]

Excerpts from the article:

“New York City is one of many school systems in the United States set to roll out Black Lives Matter (BLM)-themed lesson plans this fall. According to the NYC Department of Education, teachers will delve into “systemic racism,” police brutality, and white privilege in their classrooms.”

“Encouraging people to identify and condemn racism is an undeniably laudable undertaking by these school administrators. That’s not what’s really happening, however. By bringing BLM into the classroom, activist educators are allowing the most radically divisive movement in modern American history to warp children’s worldviews.”

“The site lays out a cult-like recruiting process for students to follow. Step one: Recognize your white privilege. Step two: Learn the dos and don’ts of being an ally. Step three: Recruit more members to learn steps one and two.

Step three of the recruitment process posits, “Racial equity accountability must be tied to specific outcomes.” What, exactly, are these outcomes? The obvious answer is activism on behalf of the BLM movement.”

“Black liberation is a Marxist theological and social movement that emerged in the late 1960s. It conceives of America as “systemically racist.” Accordingly, America’s institutions are also considered racist and as conceived to perpetuate racism. Moreover, in this view the entire construct of American culture, symbolically represented by the flag, national anthem, and even Philly’s own Liberty Bell, represents an insult to people of color.”

“Black liberation theology’s most prominent devotee is President Barack Obama’s former spiritual leader Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who famously summed up the movement from his Chicago pulpit: “No, no, no, not God bless America! God d-mn America — that’s in the Bible — for killing innocent people.”

The financial backers of the BLM movement, such as the Ford Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, no doubt recognize the value of infiltrating the understructure of our educational system. Through partnering with BLM, school systems across the country are indoctrinating our children to achieve Marxist objectives.”
