School suggests controversial “1619 Project” as supplementary material for educators.

An elementary school in one of the country’s wealthiest districts will require fourth and fifth graders to read a book which asserts sympathizing with law enforcement is “racist.”

Students at Gladwyne Elementary School in Pennsylvania’s Lower Merion School District will get “Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness,” which also claims it’s “racist” to not watch the news and showcases Colin Kaepernick as a hero in the fight against racial injustice.

It seems the four “cultural proficiency” lessons already in use by Gladwyne were deemed “insufficient” by the school’s (aptly named) Cultural Proficiency Committee. Principal Veronica Ellers noted in a June email that the school plans “to continue designing lessons that promote anti-racist actions in the upcoming 20-21 school year and beyond.”

Seems to me this will make more people racist.

Do the schools want to get replaced by homeschooling or private schools?

Because they are off to a good start.

How is this sound curriculum?

Maybe they can focus more on math, geography, reading, and writing.

This sentence embodies all that is wrong with America.

Wanna teach ALL people truth about police injustice?
Teach about war on drugs, civil asset forfeiture, and no knock warrants. Those policies are an injustice to us all.

White liberals/Democrats are pure evil. Basically they demand that all white nonliberals, in the present and in the future...be forever damned. Unless those white nonliberals jump through the manufactured hoops the white liberals throw out, and submit.
