Public Schools Across Country Promote Black Lives Matter, Organize Protests

Public schools across America have endorsed the Black Lives Matter movement.
Black Lives Matter has been linked to 91% of riots across America over three months, one study found.

Buffalo Public Schools incorporated Black Lives Matter into its elementary school curriculum.

Some public schools organized their own Black Lives Matter protests and encouraged students to attend.

Public schools across the country have endorsed the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraged teachers, students and parents to do the same, with some schools organizing their own BLM protests, Daily Caller News Foundation review found.

The Black Lives Matter movement has been linked to 91% of riots across the United States between May 24 and Sept. 12, according to the US Crisis Monitor, a joint project of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton University.

Despite the close links between the Black Lives Matter movement and riots across the country, public schools have been a consistent source of support for the movement.

Buffalo Public Schools integrated Black Lives Matter’s “guiding principles,” which include disrupting the nuclear family, into its curriculum for elementary school students, according to lesson plans obtained and published by Fox News on Friday.

One such principle included in the lesson, “Black Villages,” calls for “the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other.”

It is the fault of the voters that such people run our schools -- kick them out. Politics has no place in the Public School.

The left-wing radicalism of the teacher's unions makes other Dems look "moderate." And in most states a teacher can't work without joining them. On top of that, the people who take the time to run for school boards are almost invariably libs who are doing it to bring lib indoctrination into the class room. It's an irresistible combination which has turned most schools into lib indoctrination camps, as Bill Bennett was saying 30 or 40 yrs ago. Private schools, preferably religious, are the only escape from this rigged system.

As William Bennett said "When Liberals talk about 'education', what they really mean is 'indoctrination'". Easier to "teach" when you use prepackaged curriculums that follow the Party Line and make it clear to the kids that there are approved answers and they better memorize them.

But of course, Public Education doesn't exist to serve the public -- it exists to serve the Public Schools. If we had a real Public Education system, the money would go for the child, not the school, and the parents could choose any school they wanted.

Doesn't help when so many parents use the public schools as a daycare center, and when 75% of school funding comes from non-parents.

You got a point. But as I have said before, I have no objection to paying for the education of someone else's child. What pisses me off is when I pay and they DON'T get an education.

Easy to find out the results of applying that idea : check out the crime, welfare, illegitimacy stats in any minority "hood." "Father's Day in Harlem" describes the situation well.

[blackhawknj]

I recall from the college course I took on non-Western Civ that the "stateless societies" of Africa are none too kind when it comes to dealing with slackers, shirkers, goof offs and troublemakers.
As a New Jersey resident I know that "education" is used as an excuse for higher taxes and wasteful spending on programs whose sole beneficiaries are the people who run them.
As a non-parent I consider myself under no more obligation to parents than as a non-smoker and lifetime teetotaler I consider myself under obligation to them.
I thought "Fathers Day in Harlem" referred to the 5-10 minutes it took to get the process started.
"Mother's Day" ended when they switched from checks to EBT cards.

So the gripe is what exactly? That kids are growing up being taught not to beat up gays either for sport or as an expression of one's own sexual insecurities? That a white kid isn't automatically better than minority kids, no matter how crappy he does in school or how big a puke he is? Another Biff Tannen thread.

So the gripe is what exactly?

That it's mainly white taxpayers who foot the bill for failed social programs & everything BLM is promoting: cops, prisons, welfare, health costs, social workers, etc.

[togor]

The schools and police are the last institutions standing. Everything else is gone. There are rural white kids for whom the school year "is when they get to eat". And cops don't like being the swiss army knife of social service agencies either. If deleting the police is a bad idea because there's nothing to replace them, well....ditto for public schools.

ACLED stated that 96% of protests were peaceful and 80% of protests were associated with BLM. Not quite the raging inferno as stated.
Humphrey, if I recall correctly, your masters is in education. You could have been part of the solution instead of sitting on the sidelines and posting nonsense. You are neither right nor wrong, you are irrelevant!

The people who extol "the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other” remind me of Lansford Hastings. He was a land speculator in Oregon, and decided to shift his base to California. The problem was, to get to California, you first had to go to Oregon and then head south -- go around 2 sides of a triangle. He envisioned cutting straight across, the "Hastings Cutoff."

In the spring of 1846, he headed east, with two mountain men (the experts on wilderness survival) and a train of pack mules. They nearly died -- barely made it to Fort Bridger. So he imagined a DIFFERENT version of the "Hastings Cutoff" and recruited some people to follow him and started west. He left a letter at Fort Bridger advising anyone who wanted to go to California to just follow his tracks.

A small party assembled after he left and followed his tracks. After a while, they came upon a note he had left advising them NOT to follow his tracks but to take a different route. They took that route and ran into trouble. They sent men on horseback to contact him and ask his advice. He took one of them up on a mountain and traced out a different route, from ridge to ridge. That route led through the Wasatch Mountains.

That's FOUR versions of the "Hastings Cutoff," ALL of them imaginary, and none of them trafficable.

Before you take someone's advice on the route you should go, ask if he has ever traveled that route himself. Before we adopt the "Black Villages" advice, ask if the people giving it have ever lived in an Africal village and for how long?

P.S. Anyone know the name of the group that followed Hastings' advice?

I believe Lansford Hastings VI was tasked with writing Trump's health care plan.
