In fact, it\u2019s a problem that\u2019s been going on for decades, first behind the scenes and now out in the open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat\u2019s how radical change happens,\u201d Simonian explains. \u201cIt creeps up on us. And when we finally figure out what\u2019s going on, it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a mom of two school-age kids, Simonian says that she and other parents are witnessing what\u2019s been happening on college campuses now moving to the classrooms of elementary schools and high schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThanks to the lockdowns and Zoom,\u201d Simonian says, \u201cwe\u2019re getting a window into our children\u2019s classes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s not a pretty picture. Kids \u2014&nbsp;really young kids \u2014 are being taught stuff so radical, so devoid of what real education is, it should alarm us all,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As an example, Simonian mentions the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/u-s-schools-have-openly-taught-1619-project-months-1530138\"><span>adoption<\/span><\/a> <span>by public schools in Chicago of an American history curriculum based on <em>The New York Times<\/em>\u2019 1619 Project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHistorians from across the political spectrum have<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2020\/01\/1619-project-top-historians-criticize-new-york-times-slavery-feature\/\"><span>denounced<\/span><\/a> <span>this as a giant lie,\u201d Simonian notes. \u201cThe New York Times has walked back many of the project\u2019s original claims. Still, this malicious slander of America is now being taught in schools as truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This \u201ctruth,\u201d Simonian then explains, is the claim that \u201cAmerica is, was, and always has been a fundamentally racist country and that white Americans today bear responsibility for all current and historic racism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis bleeds perfectly into another educational debacle,\u201d Simonian continues. \u201c\u2018Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.\u2019 This might sound innocent, but don\u2019t be fooled \u2014 it\u2019s a dangerous euphemism for something called Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory says that racism is woven into the very fabric of American society.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As an<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/wellesleyps.org\/dei\/responding-to-bias-incidents\/\"><span>example<\/span><\/a> <span>of what this looks like in a school setting, Simonian says that \u201cmiddle and high school students in Wellesley, Massachusetts are taught to be on the lookout for \u2018unconscious\u2019 racial bias in their classmates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c\u2018We need your help!\u2019 an email to students<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/whataretheylearning.com\/detail\/123\/\"><span>reads<\/span><\/a><span>. \u2018Your school leaders will be working with you this year on how to be proactive about preventing bias incidents, and how to report them should they occur.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis warped vision of America doesn\u2019t stop at race,\u201d says Simonian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Are Your Kids Learning in School? | 5 Minute Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oycazbeFTcc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn Colorado,\u201d Simonian adds, \u201cfirst graders are being<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/04\/05\/parent-objections-public-school-teaches-6-year-olds-transgender-ravens-gender-fluidity\/\"><span>taught<\/span><\/a> <span>that just because someone looks like a boy doesn\u2019t mean they are. Only they can know who they truly are. Gender is something they choose for themselves based on how masculine or feminine they feel. Or, maybe they\u2019re not fully a boy or a girl, but something in between \u2014 whatever that might be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Along with portraying global warming as an existential&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/k-12-science-curriculum-environment\"><span>threat<\/span><\/a><span>, The American Federation of Teachers has fully<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aft.org\/resolution\/support-green-new-deal\"><span>endorsed<\/span><\/a> <span>the most radical aspects of The Green New Deal.<\/span><span>&nbsp;Taken together, t<\/span><span>his means that many schools are \u201cteaching children that our past is terrible and that they have no future.&nbsp;<\/span><span>That, if they are white, they are racist whether they know it or not. If they\u2019re black, they\u2019re victims, whether they experience it or not. That they should constantly question their sexual identity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWith all this being drummed into their heads,\u201d Simonian says, \u201cno wonder today\u2019s kids have<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/impact-of-child-mental-health-problems-is-worse-than-40-years-ago-our-new-study-suggests-112020\"><span>more<\/span><\/a> <span>psychological problems than any previous generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Simonian then continues to encourage those watching who may think that she is cherry-picking examples or exaggerating to find out for themselves.&nbsp;<\/span><span>\u201cWhen I did, I was shocked to learn that all of this is happening in my school district right now,\u201d Simonian says. \u201cSo find out what is being taught in your kids\u2019 school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She then advises parents to \u201ctake a good, hard look at curricula,\u201d and \u201cask administrators if they endorse The 1619 Project.\u201d If they are \u201cpushing a \u2018Diversity, Equity and Inclusion\u2019 agenda,\u201d<\/span> <span>\u201cdemand to see what materials the school is using.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAt a minimum get to know your kids\u2019 teachers and principals,\u201d Simonian suggests. \u201cJoin the PTA, attend local school board meetings, look for allies among reasonable, like-minded parents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to agree with each other on everything. You just have to agree that the brainwashing of our children stops here. Stops now,\u201d Simonian emphasizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She concludes by laying out \u201cwhat our children should be learning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat they must take responsibility for their conduct. That race is the least important aspect of another person. That hard work and rational thought are things we all value. That there is nothing wrong with the bodies they were born into. And that America was founded not to promote racism, but to guarantee sacred liberties and opportunities to its citizens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnd it wouldn\u2019t hurt if they learned reading and writing and math, too,\u201d Simonian adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>PragerU is the world\u2019s leading educational nonprofit focused on changing minds through the creative use of digital media.
