White House Backs High School Classes That Teach Racial Discrimination And Animosity
The White House became a target for Gov. Ron DeSantis once again became a target of Gov. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, spoke Sunday. said, “Unfortunately, in Florida, extremist so-called leaders ban books, block history classes, and prevent teachers from freely discussing who they are and who they love. Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.”
Karine Jean-Pierre is White House Press Secretary. claimed blocking the College Board’s Advanced Placement African-American history class “is incomprehensible. … If you think about the study of black Americans, that is what he [DeSantis] wants to block.”
Bryan Griffin, DeSantis Press Secretary, replied that Florida public school students are required to learn African-American history as part U.S. history. What Florida has banned, he pointed out, is teaching African-American history through a Marxist lens that pits racial groups against each other and assigns moral value to people’s God-given skin color.
The College Board rejected new documents for Florida published Monday Stanley Kurtz, Ethics and Public Policy Center scholar. They reinforce DeSantis’ argument, showing the AP African-American studies class is egregiously biased toward the extremist political left. It preaches the racial division of critical racism theory, rather than helping students understand the complex real histories of African Americans.
In fact, as Kurtz writes:
Overwhelmingly, [the College Board class] APAAS’s approach is from the socialist Left, with very little in the way of even conventional liberal perspectives represented, not to mention conservative views. The last quarter of the report presents controversial leftist authors as though their views are authoritative. There is no criticism or contrasting perspective. It is not difficult to see that the goal is to recruit students for various leftist political causes.
Kurtz obtained a teacher’s manual for the class to support these assertions. Harris and Jean Pierre describe the draft teacher guide for this class as “American history,” Kurtz states that Kurtz includes a section on Black Lives Matter (the massive Democrat benefitting and riot-enabling activist organization founded by two self-described Marxists).
The academics the teacher’s manual tells teachers to assign in this class describe Black Lives Matter, or the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), and its underlying Marxist aims in only positive terms, Kurtz writes, explaining:
[T]he real purpose of M4BL’s platform is to serve as a “blueprint for social transformation,” We can fundamentally change the structure of American society, shifting away from market principles in favor of market principles. “‘collective ownership’ of certain economic institutions” A universal basic income.Authors also require “reparations,” These are used as political justifications to create race-based socialism, which is a redistribution and allocation of wealth from less-favored racial group to more favored. This is clearly a racist idea. It involves distributing civil penalties and rewards based upon skin color and ancestry. It also does not pay fair wages.
