Yes they do!!!!
Against California’s Ethnic-Studies Curriculum
To graduate from high school in the state of California, students have to take just three years of English and two years of math. Democrats in the state are now trying to add another subject to these paltry requirements, which are among the most lax and lenient in the nation. Chemistry, biology, physics, history, geography, civics, and foreign languages have all been passed over. As it turns out, the subject that California’s political machine wants taught to all children in the state without exception is ethnic studies. Today, the state’s Board of Education will vote on whether or not to approve a model curriculum for this subject to be used in each and every Californian public school. The state legislature has signaled its intention to make the curriculum mandatory if the Board of Education gives its approval. If such a bill is signed into law, ethnic studies will be the only subject in California with the same pedagogical priority in K–12 classrooms as reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Last year, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation to this effect due to a lack of clarity about the proposed draft curriculum, which was then unfinished. The Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum has since been completed and has undergone three draft revisions. The Board of Education will examine the final, 894-page version today.
The proposed Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum is probably the most radical, polemical, and ideologically loaded educational document ever offered up for public consideration in the free world. Even after all of the many revisions made to the document, it remains at bottom a political catechism, clearly formulated for the purpose of indoctrinating children into the intersectional electoral priorities of the far Left.
The first draft of the curriculum was so far outside the boundaries of the Overton window in California that it was rejected out of hand by the Board of Education, the governor, and even by the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times, who ridiculed it as an “impenetrable mélange of academic jargon and politically correct pronouncements.” One of its lesson plans included a list of 154 influential people of color but omitted to mention Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, or even the late congressman John Lewis. Pol Pot, however, the architect of the Cambodian genocide, did make an appearance, alongside other violent revolutionaries.

Pol Pot, however, the architect of the Cambodian genocide, did make an appearance, alongside other violent revolutionaries.
As far as the religious content of the curriculum is concerned, the bill’s proponents may even have overplayed their hand from a constitutional perspective. Teachers are encouraged by the authors of the curriculum to lead students in traditional indigenous chants, songs, and prayers to the Aztec gods. One lesson plan recommends that students clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka — traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism — asking him to grant students the power to be “warriors” for “social justice.” For obvious reasons, this kind of religious instruction in public schools runs afoul of the First Amendment. No doubt James Madison would have been surprised to learn that the Constitution would one day stand athwart Tezkatlipoka yelling “Stop!” — but he would not, we think, be displeased at such a development.
If this curriculum is endorsed by California’s Board of Education and manages somehow to pass constitutional muster, 6 million American children could soon have it forced upon them from the age of 5 or 6 all the way up through the dawn of their adulthood. How many of them will be able to resist such a consistent and widespread program of indoctrination? It would be bad enough for California and the country if an initiative like this were being spearheaded and sponsored by private actors, but on top of everything else, the curriculum’s political backers are asking American taxpayers to foot the bill.
As board members cast their votes, they must ask themselves, “How would this curriculum look different if it had been written by America’s worst enemies, by all of the bad actors in the world who would relish the sight of American society collapsing in upon itself?” If they can answer that question honestly, they’ll do their duty and stop this document in its tracks. If they can’t, another bill mandating the curriculum state-wide will soon land on Governor Newsom’s desk. The governor must make it clear that any such proposal will be vetoed yet again. Otherwise, it will fall to the courts to spare the children of California the fate of an early life lived as lab rats for the state’s most insane and depraved would-be social engineers.

I, er, thought that there is a “wall” between church and state, that “religion” (prayers) CANNOT be taught (or even mentioned!) in schools ... Certainly NEVER “performed” in a classroom led by (demanded participation) BY a teacher controlling grade school children.
Now, about that Aztec god they are worshipping. What about the Mexican tribes that did NOT worship that particular god? See, it seems that the Aztec god is being worshipped in a public classroom, but the tribes being sacrificed TO that Aztec god are not only being ignored, but are being the ones actually sacrificed to that god!
WOW! I’m up to 803 reasons why I’m glad I live about as far from CA as one can get.
Exodus 20:3
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
spot on
“I don’t think there are enough white Christians left in CA.”
Something interesting that DH and I discuss sometimes. We’ve lived in many places due to his career. Surprisingly, the two most fundamental traditional Baptist churches we’ve attended were in southern California. And I’m speaking as someone who has lived in Tennessee for the last 11 years. The CA churches still are the best.
Yes. Really makes you wonder if the left isn’t just secret satanic worshipers. These ideas of theirs are so wack, but then again could jus be communists trying to setup a lot of ways to completely wreck this country. Either way they are mad men.
“Cannibal god bad”
Please explain the difference between this curriculum and how they taught Hitler Youth groups.
Sadly interesting how through history there have been so many tragedies, due to people refusing the message because they can’t stomach the messenger.
Would the demon approve of this assault on Christianity? I think he sure is happy with it. Folks, we be AT the gate for the departure of the Body of Christ Believers and the removing of the restrainer holding back satan’s man empowered with all signs and lying wonders, a leader who will seek out and murder actual Believers in Christ as Messiah during his reign. He will use AI and ... oh never mind. Nobody wants to face the facts as already revealed in the Bible ... and that’s why his fixes will be embraced so readily. People will be losing their heads over Belief in Christ during the man of sin’s short reign.
Indoctrination centers. These students don’t know math, reading, or writing, but can identify racists.
The other tribes in Mexico were in fear of and despised the Aztec butchers, which is why they joined with the Spaniards to defeat the Aztecs.
And God gave them over to reprobate minds.
It is quite obvious that the Left think they are now permanently in command and no longer have to cloak their motives and agendas. It is now all out in the open. All of it.
No.
So not paying attention to the conservative equivalent of the National Enquirer is sticking my head in the sand? We need the huge manatee meme.
And just add the aztec gods into the chrislam system that will be peer by the false prophet. There is room for all except Jesus Christ. Fortunately we will be with Him and this plays out
beck is right on this.
The burning man festival regularly has people running into the fire at the end of the festival to immolate themselves. Its strictly voluntary.
But in another age it will not be voluntary.
