      SCOOP: A Philadelphia elementary school forced fifth-grade students to celebrate "black communism" and simulate a Black Power rally to "free Angela Davis" from prison. I've obtained exclusive whistleblower documents and photographs from the school. Here's the story. 🧵

      Last year, a fifth-grade teacher at the William D. Kelley School designed a social-studies curriculum to celebrate the political radical Angela Davis, praising the "black communist" for her fight against "inequality" and telling students to "define communist" in favorable terms.pic.twitter.com/zeUAs8vWZs

      At the end of the unit, the teacher led the ten- and eleven-year-olds into the school auditorium to "simulate" a Black Power rally to "free Angela Davis" from prison, where she had once been held on charges of murder. The students chanted "Black Power!" and "Free Angela!"pic.twitter.com/oUYdHHvX8v

      The William D. Kelley School's student population is 94 percent black and 100 percent “economically disadvantaged.” Academically, it is one of the worst-performing schools in the state: by graduation, only 13 percent of Kelley students will have achieved basic literacy.pic.twitter.com/qcaRJaHNia

      Despite this abysmal academic performance, administrators have gradually abandoned traditional pedagogy in favor of political radicalism. They recently commissioned murals of Angela Davis and Huey P. Newton, who represent the Communist and Black Panther revolutionary movements.pic.twitter.com/AHbtMfPOUa

      In recent years, the entire Philadelphia public school system has embraced the philosophy of “antiracism.” Last summer, the superintendent released an Antiracism Declaration promising to “[dismantle] systems of racial inequity” and implemented racially-segregated programs.pic.twitter.com/E0pbDM4DKV

      The local teachers’ union produced a video denouncing the United States as a “settler colony built on white supremacy and capitalism,” which has created a “system that lifts up white people over everyone else.”pic.twitter.com/tmF3mG8NOQ

      The teachers' union openly demands that the United States overthrow the “racist structure of capitalism,” provide “reparations for Black and Indigenous people,” and “uproot white supremacy and plant the seeds for a new world.”pic.twitter.com/ruxd9SXU7D

      The gap between rhetoric and reality is almost beyond comprehension: the ten-year-olds marching for “black communism” can barely read and write. Rather than come to terms with this failure, educators have shifted the blame to “systemic racism” and promises of “revolution.”

          This should be a crime. The School District of Philadelphia has 18,000 employees and a $3.4 billion annual budget—and fails, year after year, to teach basic literacy. Educators promise to "plant the seeds for a new world," but condemn their students to illiteracy and failure.

          This is the case in way more schools than people realize. They have abandoned reading, math, and critical thinking for indoctrination and social activism. But what good is teaching Jamal to be a revolutionary if he needs Brad to write his signs?

          The absolute irony here is the fact that a decent education was one of the key demands of the Black Panthers as witnessed by their breakfast programme. With a 13% literacy rate upon graduation, these teachers are the betrayers of their legacy not their champions.

          The districts average literacy is not reflective of this curriculum that was probably started in the last 3-5 years. Probably has more to do with 15 years of No Child left Behind act defunding inner city schools.
