Students at William D. Kelley School were forced to participate in a social studies curriculum that celebrated Davis, \u201cpraising the \u2018black communist\u2019 for her fight against \u2018injustice and inequality.\u2019\u201d Students were required to \u201c\u2018describe Davis\u2019 early life,\u2019 reflect on her vision of social change, and \u2018define communist\u2019\u2014presumably in favorable terms,\u201d Rufo reported.<\/p>\n<p>Further:<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the unit, the teacher led the ten- and eleven-year-old students into the school auditorium to \u201csimulate\u201d a Black Power rally to \u201cfree Angela Davis\u201d from prison, where she had once been held while awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder. The students marched on the stage, holding signs that read \u201cBlack Power,\u201d \u201cJail Trump,\u201d \u201cFree Angela,\u201d and \u201cBlack Power Matters.\u201d They chanted about Africa and ancestral power, then shouted \u201cFree Angela! Free Angela!\u201d as they stood at the front of the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Davis is a militant activist praised by the Left. She joined the Communist Party and has won the International Lenin Peace Prize, an award from the Soviet Union named after Vladimir Lenin. She has also been accused of anti-Semitism over her support for Occupy Wall Street and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.<\/p>\n<p>As Rufo noted, the William Kelley School is one of the worst-performing schools in Pennsylvania, with just 3% proficient in math by sixth grade and 9% proficient in reading. \u201cBy graduation, only 13 percent of Kelley students will have achieved basic literacy,\u201d Rufo reported.<\/p>\n<p>The school, however, appears to have given up on improving academic performance, instead focusing more on \u201cpolitical radicalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the school\u2019s newest public artworks illustrate this politicization. Administrators recently commissioned a mural of Davis and Huey P. Newton, who represent the Communist and Black Panther revolutionary movements of the 1960s; both figures stood trial for various crimes, including the murder of a police officer,\u201d Rufo wrote.<\/p>\n<p>William Kelley is not the only school in Pennsylvania turning toward political activism. As Rufo reported, the superintendent of the Philadelphia public school system announced the district would be working to \u201c[dismantle] systems of racial inequity\u201d and advertised racially segregated training programs for teachers.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oregon-promotes-program-focused-on-dismantling-racism-in-mathematics-says-finding-the-right-answer-a-sign-of-white-supremacy\">reported<\/a>, the \u201cantiracist\u201d movement has been spreading across schools, teaching students that America is inherently racist, as are white people. This new school of thought also teaches that concepts like objectivity and individualism are part of \u201cWhite Supremacy Culture.\u201d In Oregon, students will now be taught that finding the right answer in math is a symbol of white supremacy. In San Francisco, schools are more focused on renaming buildings and declaring acronyms to be a \u201csymptom of white supremacy culture\u201d&nbsp;than on getting kids back into school, even as suicides in the city are increasing.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
