A couple of parents don’t think kids calling each other “comrade” is appropriate school? Get with it parents. Your kids are not yours. They belong to the collective. They are being trained for the revolution. You will be sent to labor camp so you can unlearn the oppressive behaviors you exhibit. Those kids will stop by about 16 years to make sure you’ve learned correct behaviors.

It’s all ideology- nothing based in fact. Furthermore, imagine being a Jewish student at a school that teaches the BLM at School Action Week curriculum! Their statement in the wake of the October 7th attacks was:

“BLM@School wants to be clear in our recognition that this unfolding loss of Palestinian and Israeli lives is the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians. Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle.

Education should be wielded in service of struggle. The ongoing fight to #TeachTruth in the U.S. must include Palestinian existence, resistance, culture, global contributions, and the ongoing struggle to realize a free Palestine. It also must directly name the ways that U.S. imperialism has fueled and supported apartheid and war crimes. Educators need resources, support, and protection that honor the enduring struggle for realizing Palestinian justice. This is our offering at this time.“

People interviewed are complaining about the school teaching their kids this ideology. Why is the school teaching 𝗮𝗻𝘆 ideology? Is there not enough math, language, history, science, geography and literature to fill their days? Who asked for this? What is the thinking that leads to faculty taking it on themselves to instruct kids about right and wrong? (And yes, there's a core of moral education that we presume; the basic building blocks like renouncing violence, theft vandalism and lying. There's more, but these are all consensus things that can actually come up in school. Why would I want the faculty stating its ideas about the nuclear family to my kid as if its gravity?)

BLM is and always was a communist revolutionary movement.

During Cuba's protests against their communist government, BLM publicly supported the white communists over the black protestors.

Believe people when they say who they are.

It is undeniable fact that Democrats rioted for months during a pandemic on behalf of a communist revolutionary group.

The article states that some of the parents were surprised, worried and unhappy with this BLM material being taught. The article didn't say that any of them had stormed the principle's office, confronted the school board or taken their children out of the school. Therein lies the problem. If you take this shit lying down and don't take radical measures to shut it down, it will just keep happening. At some point, it will be too late.

When I was in public schools a little under a decade ago, they were next to worthless.

Now they’re just like most colleges: Marxist indoctrination centers.

Brooklyn parent here- PS 321 is one of the most in demand public schools in the area. People move just for this school.

My daughter is at private school and in first grade she is already telling me I have the same name as the nasa scientist Katherine Johnson who she learned about this month.

I’m fortunate to have the resources but we need to demand more of our educators. Last I checked NYC public schools spend $38k per student!

BLM has one principle - buy large mansions. For the grifters who run it.

That this filth is taught in NYC schools says all you need to know about the mindset of the evil clowns who run this sewer.

I can't think of many more harmful things to society than an ideology that discourages "nuclear families." How they cannot see that this will actually lead to worse outcomes for black people is beyond me.

I’m about midway through “America’s Cultural Revolution” by Christopher Rufo, where he does a deep dive into the how this went from fringe ideology to mainstream educational theory. It’s absolutely shocking how deep and widespread this critical theory mind rot has become.

To the question of “where did all the 60s radicals go?”, the answer seems to be into education, where they have done their own long march that has now infected all our once trusted institutions.

Even though more Americans are waking up to this, I wonder if it’s too little too late? Our schools have been steeped in anti-white, anti-western, and anti-capitalist indoctrination for nearly 60 years. Are there enough of us “normies” willing to speak up and stem the tide?

There are names behind all of this. How about a little effort smoking these people out and publish their names and backgrounds. Just who are the authors behind these materials? Betcha many are White Communist radicals.

I see so many similarities between the BLM educational material and the Palestinian educational material. Which gives a whole new (?) dimension to their alliance. It's as if the same minds are driving these movements. Something tells me that if we follow the money, we'll reach a similar source.

How is BLM still a thing? They were caught using donations to buy mansions in Malibu for themselves, and their "peeps".

My daughter went to MS 447 in Brooklyn. When she was in 8th grade two years ago they changed Black History month to Black Lives Matter month. The principal sent a multi page email to parents schooling us on why the important change. In fact it was the longest email the school ever sent to parents in our time there. The principal never responded to my concerns. Needless to say, daughter now goes to a catholic high school.

Ha! Of course it's P.S. 321-- the zoned public school so sought-after by yuppie parents that it drives the price of Park Slope brownstones even higher into the stratosphere. "Luxury beliefs" like "restorative justice" and "counselors, not cops" are beloved by those whose kids don't get pummeled by gang members on the way home from school. Outside 321 at dismissal, BIPOC nannies await to whisk the little comrades to their next enrichment experience. You know a woke artifact is bad if even Park Slopers are wrinkling their noses.

I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Brooklyn, attending PS 161, and got married in Brooklyn. It was such a great place to grow up until the Dodgers left Brooklyn! After we left in 1966, Brooklyn started to go downhill in the 70s. BLM has been a discredited organization by every decent black or otherwise person. It’s inconceivable that any of their material should be in our schools. The silent majority better speak up now or forever lose their voice.
