The program comes from the national group BLM at School, which demands \u201cblack history and ethnic studies\u201d in K-12 curriculum, restorative justice discipline, the funding of \u201ccounselors not cops\u201d and the hiring of more black teachers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com\/the-demands.html\">according<\/a> to its website.<\/p>\n<p>According to the slideshow, District 65 presented to special needs students on the race-based movement the Friday before BLM week. One slide, titled \u201cWhy don\u2019t we say \u2018All Lives Matter&#8217;\u201d depicts a burning house and someone saying \u201cAll Houses Matter\u201d while hosing off another home with water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is important!\u201d the speakers notes for the slide states. \u201cEven if it remains here for the adults! This is a tricky concept but should be talked about even if it\u2019s just for the adults in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><\/div>\n<p>Another slide in the presentation had special needs students \u201cstand in a circle\u201d and put out their hands. The students were to \u201cnotice how everyone has different color skin.\u201d In turn, the teacher was instructed to say, \u201cWho in this circle has brown skin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The slides define the words \u201cmovement,\u201d \u201cracism,\u201d and \u201cactivist\u201d for the special needs students. They also say that the BLM movement is a \u201cgroup of people [who] believe that violence and racism is wrong,\u201d introducing founders of the left-wing movement Alicia Garza, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, and Opal Tometi.<\/p>\n<p>The BLM Global Network Foundation has come under heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/where-did-the-millions-of-dollars-donated-to-black-lives-matter-go\">scrutiny<\/a> as of late due to its finances. The group purchased a $6 million Los Angeles mansion with donor money in October 2020, New York Magazine first <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2022\/04\/black-lives-matter-6-million-dollar-house.html?utm_campaign=nym&#038;utm_medium=s1&#038;utm_source=tw\">reported<\/a>, and purged its fundraising operations more than two months ago after chief legal officers across the U.S. threatened the group for not reporting how it spent the $90 million it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/black-lives-matter-foundation-raked-in-more-than-90-million-last-year-report\">received<\/a> that year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-365058 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-9.58.22-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-9.58.22-PM.png 830w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-9.58.22-PM-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-05-at-9.58.22-PM-768x413-1.png 768w\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Speaking to The Daily Wire on condition of anonymity, a parent of a third-grade student in the district said he was \u201cdisturbed\u201d by the materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re trying to undermine arguments that kids might hear outside the school,\u201d\u00a0said the concerned parent. \u201cI believe they\u2019re trying to put a division between children and parents. It\u2019s so shocking. You hear about this stuff, but then to see it right in front of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One slide near the end of the presentation was a \u201cread aloud\u201d of a book called \u201cGiant Steps to Change the World\u201d by filmmakers Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee. \u201cWhite people need to be taking giant steps,\u201d a note in the speakers\u2019 section states.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for District 65 declined a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Evanston and Skokie district has faced pushback for their equity-based curricula. Last June, a middle school drama teacher sued the district \u2014 alleging that it violated anti-discrimination laws after students were allegedly forced to compare \u201cwhiteness\u201d to the devil, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lawsuit-illinois-school-district-forced-students-on-privilege-walks-compared-whiteness-to-the-devil\">reported<\/a>.
