SCOOP: Santa Clara County Office of Education denounces the United States as a "parasitic system" based on the "invasion" of "white male settlers" and encourages teachers to "cash in on kids' inherent empathy" in order to recruit them into political activism.
Here's the story.

Jorge Pacheco, an adviser for the state ethnic studies curriculum, said that teachers must "awaken [students] to the oppression" and lead them to "decodify" and eventually "dismantle" the dominant political structures, which enable "white people [to exploit] people of color."pic.twitter.com/t5ut4mYS8i

The language in the presentation is pure Marxist conflict theory—oppressor-oppressed, praxis, synthesis. Pacheco acknowledged that the Marxist underpinnings "scare people away," but insisted that teachers must be "grounded in the correct politics to educate students."pic.twitter.com/2gUUruIIaM

The panelists advised local teachers to hide this political program from administrators and parents. "District guidelines and expectations are barriers," said one panelist. "[We] have to be extra careful ... now that we're in people's homes [because of remote learning]."pic.twitter.com/jgq8A7RGL6

This curriculum will soon become commonplace for millions of California schoolchildren. Earlier this year, the state Department of Education approved a "model ethnic studies curriculum," championed by Pacheco and colleagues, who encourage recruiting kids beginning in first grade.pic.twitter.com/KPqUpDGdnx

The woke's insane obsession with colonialism always fascinates me. Land was here long before life and then long before intelligent life. Land has changed hands of life an untold number of times throughout history. In the end, the strongest keep it. To the victor go the spoils

Can we assume that if I go into your house and take it by force it’s ok by you? To the victor go the spoils after all.

The hard work and sacrifice of white woman invaders is being undervalued here.

Oh gosh, I had to read that Pedagogy of the Oppressed book in my teaching credential program 15 years ago! Even as a doe-eyed teacher, I quickly discovered how vehemently I disagreed with what was being pushed in that book.
