California's Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a new, multi-million-dollar Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, which will be offered statewide with many of the state's largest school districts making it a requirement for graduation. According to National Review, the curriculum is "probably the most radical, polemical, and ideologically loaded educational document ever offered up for public consideration in the free world."
POLL: What scares you the most? On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck reacted to the newly approved curriculum, calling it "the craziest, most terrifying story I have ever had to report."
Glenn read an excerpt from the National Review report describing the curriculum: Students are to be taught that white Christian settlers committed "theocide" against indigenous tribes when they arrived in the New World by murdering Native American gods and replacing them with the Christian God. According to the curriculum, this replacement ushered in a regime defined by "coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide," and the "explicit erasure and replacement of holistic Indigeneity and humanity." But all is not lost, we are told. For students will learn that they have the power and the responsibility to build a social order defined by "countergenocide," which will eventually supplant the last vestiges of colonial Christianity and pave the way for the "regeneration of indigenous epistemic and cultural futurity."
Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka — whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism — asking him for the power to be "warriors" for "social justice." Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking "healing epistemologies" and "a revolutionary spirit." Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule. Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for "liberation, transformation, [and] decolonization," after which students shout "Panche beh! Panche beh!" in pursuit of ultimate "critical consciousness."
Glenn explained some of the horrifying details of Aztec worship traditions, which California's educators and administrators seek to "regenerate," including human sacrifice by the tens of thousands, cannibalism, and the severe and prolonged torture and sacrifice of children. "Those are the gods that they [the Board of Education in California] think really need to be worshiped and brought back in our understanding because that whole Christian God was only about 'oppression'," Glenn said sardonically.
"Gang, we are in biblical-sized trouble," he added. "We are under attack from the forces of darkness unlike anything I've ever seen before ... because the soul of our nation, and the soul of children, is at stake."

I personally like Glenn but hysteria is his stock in trade. It’s really just emotional appeal.
Glenn Beck has always been a drama queen. His act got old when O’Reilly was still around.
No, he’s actually right on this one. I’ve been following it.
RE: Glenn Beck has always been a drama queen.
So, nothing to be concerned about in his report if you are a traditional values minded parent with children in California’s public schools?
“I personally like Glenn but hysteria is his stock in trade.”
I graduated high school in California in 2008 and having seen first hand the nightmare that is public indoctrination in California I can tell you that my problem with Glenn Beck here is that I don’t think he’s hysterical enough.
And if you think he’s wrong then you’re not paying attention.
Yep. I figured this out when I still lived in Seattle. His teasers on his radio show followed by...nothing did me in. I actually only listened off an on for a few weeks. It’s all it took.
Stabby the Clown is shrieking again.......
hyperbole seems to be in style these days.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“We are under attack from the forces of darkness unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.........
So I guess what he is reporting isn’t worth worrying about. It’s his drama and hysteria. Someone needs to figure out a way for the coast of California, from San Fran south to the border and include Sacramento, to be separated and sent adrift into the Pacific Ocean. That would save this country a lot of grief.
I’ve never saw much of a fan of his, but he’s been absolutely right a helluva lot more than he’s been wrong.
His reporting on Cloward-Piven is a perfect example.
You bet. It is like a billion times worse than it used to be.
I don’t think there are enough white Christians left in CA. I feel like I am living in Mexico every time I go ANYWHERE!! WHITE is a definite minority in CA.!!
Whitey bad. It is OK to hate whitey.
The statement mentions this course as being “OFFERED” and in the same sentence it says it’s a “REQUIREMENT” for graduation.
Educational double talk
Cortez did the world a favor by taking out the human-sacrificing cannibalistic Aztecs. Change my mind.
Any parent who allows their child to participate in this is not only a damn fool, but is guilty of child abuse.
RE: Any parent who allows their child to participate in this is not only a damn fool,
So, I gather from your above statement that this is NOT compulsory ?
RE: I don’t think there are enough white Christians left in CA. I feel like I am living in Mexico every time I go ANYWHERE!!
Aren’t Mexicans mostly Christians?
