Public Schools Across Country Organize Protests, Push Radical BLM Agenda
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, a Daily Caller News Foundation review found.
The Black Lives Matter movement has been linked to 91 percent of riots across the United States between May 24 and Sept. 12, according to the U.S. Crisis Monitor, a joint project of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton University.
Buffalo Public Schools integrated Black Lives Matter’s “guiding principles” into its curriculum for elementary school students, according to lesson plans obtained and published by Fox News on Friday.
One such principle calls for “the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other.”
Milwaukee Public Schools held a Black Lives Matter Week of Action in February. The listed demands for the week’s events included: “Fund counselors not cops.”
The principal of Buckman Elementary, a Portland public school, organized a Black Lives Matter protest outside the school and encouraged students to attend.
Sabin Elementary School in Portland held a Black Lives Matter protest as well. A picture on the school’s website shows a crowd of more than 100 people, mostly children, standing with their fists in the air.
The school’s principal also promoted a “week of action” organized by the Movement for Black Lives, a left-wing coalition that openly seeks to abolish police and prisons.
Teachers at Lincoln Park Elementary in Oregon also organized a Black Lives Matter protest that was promoted on the school’s website.
“The Black Lives Matter movement must include all of us as we support our Black and brown students, teachers, staff and families. It is not a Black problem, but a global problem,” Muncie Community Schools, an Indiana school district, states on its website.
The president of United Teachers Los Angeles, a union representing 30,000 teachers, announced in June that the union board had voted to support disbanding the Los Angeles School Police Department in solidarity with Black Lives Matter.
“We should be actively promoting Black Lives Matter,” UTLA President Cecily Myart-Cruz told EdSource in an interview the same month.
“We need to have a set of demands that dovetail with Black Lives Matter. We have to have massive political education,” Myart-Cruz said.
“People will say, ‘Not all police are bad,’ but we’re not talking about that,” she continued.
“We’re talking about racism as a social construct, systemic and institutional racism, and wrapped on top is white supremacist culture, which is the dominant culture.”
Neither Myart-Cruz nor any of the schools or school districts mentioned in this story returned the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
