California's Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, based on the Marxist "pedagogy of the oppressed," instructs students to "challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs" and critique "white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression."pic.twitter.com/AUvaI9YiiO
R. Tolteka Cuauhtin, the original co-chair, worked on the early American history material. In the references, he denounces the United States as a "Eurocentric, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal, heteropatriarchal, and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe.”pic.twitter.com/E7HYup9GKy
According to Cuauhtin, whites began "grabbing the land," "hatching hierarchies," and "developing for [whiteness]," which created "excess wealth" that "became the basis for the capitalist economy." Whites continue to subject minorities to "domestication" and “zombification."pic.twitter.com/tgYFWQEnHA
In a related "mandala," Cuauhtin claims that white Christians committed "theocide" against indigenous tribes, killing their gods and replacing them with Christianity. White settlers thus established a regime of “coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide.”pic.twitter.com/dAWxhpjIpr
The solution, according to the curriculum materials, is to “name, speak to, resist, and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial condition” in a posture of “transformational resistance.” The ultimate goal, Cuauhtin says, is to engineer a "countergenocide" against whites.pic.twitter.com/KgndpbW3iT
The curriculum includes an official "ethnic studies community chant," in which students appeal to the Aztec gods—including the god of human sacrifice—for the power to become "warriors" for "social justice." Students seek a "a revolutionary spirit" through these incantations.pic.twitter.com/PR5dQl6mSy
The state board of education will vote on this curriculum next week: if it passes, it will install the principles of critical race theory and its related ideologies into the state's 10,000 public schools, serving 6 million children.pic.twitter.com/YpvT6pWCOw

P.S. I'm working on a ten-part investigative series on "wokeness in education." If you want to support this work, please consider a contribution of $5 or $10 here.https://christopherrufo.com/support
P.P.S. My policy recommendation: radically decentralize the public school system and give parents the $15,000 a year per child to choose their own education. Families deserve the chance to educate their kids—not subject them to this taxpayer-funded poison.
P.P.S.S. For those of you who want to dig deeper, I've uploaded the original source documents here. They are worth a read to understand the origin and radicalism of this curriculum.https://christopherrufo.com/revenge-of-the-gods/ …
All of which is true enough historically speaking. Where are the bits about chanting to the Aztec god and countergenocide?
