In that speech, Wright compared American leaders to al Qaeda and said the U.S. government manufactured the AIDS epidemic to kill black people.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obama distanced himself from Wright and denounced his sermon.

Ford, a Black Lives Matter activist, thwarted a modified set of standards slated to pass last summer and demanded that history lessons include more precise definitions of marginalized groups. One draft of the standards included teaching kindergartners about &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; and &#8220;gender identity.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final iteration of the standards<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/north-carolina-approves-new-radical-history-curriculum-for-k-12-students\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">passed<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in February, despite opposition from the state&#8217;s first black lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson (R.), and others. Now, high school American history students will learn to &#8220;explain how slavery, xenophobia, disenfranchisement, and intolerance&#8221; change how people think of themselves as Americans and to &#8220;compare how some groups in American society have benefited from economic policies while other groups have been systemically denied the same benefits.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second graders will learn &#8220;how various indigenous, religious, gender, and racial groups advocate for freedom and equality.&#8221; Fourth graders will learn how &#8220;revolution, reform, and resistance&#8221; shaped North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neither Cooper&#8217;s office nor the North Carolina State Board of Education responded to the<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Beacon<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">request for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1526555381173-4\" class=\"mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The North Carolina State Board of Education member responsible for pushing new radical curriculum standards on K-12 students recently lauded anti-American and anti-Semitic preacher Jeremiah Wright.\u00a0 James Ford, whom Democratic &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2310492,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-4.png","fifu_image_alt":"Architect of North Carolina\u2019s Woke Curriculum Supports Obama\u2019s Anti-Semitic Pastor","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-4.png","fifu_image_alt":"Architect of North Carolina\u2019s Woke Curriculum Supports Obama\u2019s Anti-Semitic Pastor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2310492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
