Paying black kids to revel in helpless victimhood, the exact opposite of what they need in order to be strong, self-reliant citizens of a diverse society.

“…nearly $16 million in total assets…”. There it is again. Someone getting rich selling propaganda.

It would be alarming enough for students to be being openly recruited for this brainwashing program. But the fact that they are being given taxpayer dollars--a large sum that I would not trust the average high school student not to misspend--to entice them to participate is horrifying.

I see stories and I ask: "This is clearly an societal attack on our country. 1) what are we going to do about it? 2) how did it get like this? and 3) why are our elected officials attacking us? Are they even for us?"

These are the questions I ask -- curious if there's anything that can be done.

Once again, the media reassurance that CRT isn’t taught in schools seems just a little bit hollow.

I wonder what Long Beach’s student proficiency numbers are on Math and English. $2 million is a lot of money to spend on a single program. Alas, the district will cry foul if someone tries to set up a charter school that is focused on academics because they “take money from the local public school system.”

Nazi youth camps. Brought to you by lefties.

“However,” Craighead continued, “I felt that the benefit of their support for our students outweighed my concerns.” Since we are "weighing" things, why hasn't the support for Gaza also included condemnation of Hamas for the murders, rape, and ongoing sexual slavery of the hostages? Rape and murder and the support of those that commit it is NOT a legitimate form of protest; its depravity.

Restorative Justice is rooted in Marxism.

As I prepare to pay my IRS and State tax bill, which cuts into my own self-preservation, I consider all of the people making over 100 grand a year whose student loans I am paying. I think of the debit cards for migrants that I'm paying for. The cuts to police in response to "defund" that led to a cavalier attitude about crime given it goes unpunished. I think of public schools indoctrinating kids to vaunt victimhood, and revile "whiteness." And let's not forget the "gender neutral" toilets and the transgender clinic just down the hall where these kids can deposit their 1400 bucks.

I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how anyone can vote for this or any Democrat who mouths this garbage.

Well, at least now, the parrot "friend" who schooled me in what I am allowed to be interested in could be informed that I should have a say in what I am paying for. (How dare you research transgender "affirming care"? What business is it of yours?)

Good grief! You want some racial justice and equity? Why not pay kids to do math sets after school with a qualified tutor? Provide an hourly rate for reading and writing - maybe a school newspaper? The way to promote a positive future for these kids is to make certain they acquire the academic skills they need. Though maybe I'm wrong, this CFJ grift is certainly making someone wealthy.

California teenagers don't care about Palestine until they are fed the script.

This is Kony 2012 shit. Give the kids their activism so they can enjoy the passion, two year later deny it ever happened.

When they say they are helping students speak with their own voices, they know it's a lie.

Tell me, whose voice actually speaks through those students? How shall we name the owner of that voice? That voice is our enemy.

Another brainwashing program paid with taxpayer money.

Those school board members who chose and paid for this crap are elected... time for Long Beach parents/voters to get off their complacent rumps and vote these antisemitic, indoctrinating , propagandists out of their schools... and toss them in the garbage heap of bad choices.

What an easy and lucrative scam this is. If I knew some bipocs and teenagers I think I could pull it off here in PA. Honestly think I could sign up a few districts easily- that’s what suckers these administrators are.

So, they’re parroting these social justice tropes, quoting verbatim from script in numerous statements and publications. And then they get paid. They dumped Claudine Gay but wasn’t she just doing the same thing? (She still gets paid.)
