One Year and Still Corrupt

In March 2025,  President Trump signed an executive order abolishing the Department of Education.  I celebrated this incredible win for education as a whole.  The Federal Government really has absolutely no business dictating to teachers and parents what should be taught in their local schools.

More than that, it is fully unconstitutional for the Federal Government to tell States what and how to teach.  I have already spoken about how we got here, so to cut to the chase, we are still there.  The Federal Common Core "State" Standards is still in operation and your kids are still being indoctrinated by gender ideology and other isms.  Parents who want to know what is in their actually learning are being told they have no right.  What type of dystopian Aldous Huxley reality are we living in?

How do we combat this?  It is time to get organized. 

First, we need to demand transparency.   Parents have a right to know what their children are being taught in school, and to have the option to keep their kids out of controversial lessons.  I remember back in the day when I was young, when Sex Education was first beginning, we had to have permission slips signed in order to be able to attend.  Now Sex Education is not even talked about, it is simply a part of the curriculum. 

Sex Education has become Gender Studies, or rather Gender Ideology.  Since when are any ideologies something we would bring into the public classroom? 

And what is Critical Race Theory doing in our elementary schools.  Isn't this teaching children to judge people by the color of their skin, their ethnicity, rather than their actions and their character?

My personal experience  
 Even though I am not certified as a teacher, I have spent the past 18 years in the education system.  I have developed my own curriculum, and have interviewed dozens of educational leaders.  I have worked both in the traditional system, and in alternative and non-traditional learning settings.  Still, I did attend some of the courses designed for teachers, and to be honest, it was not education based on any scientific reality, it was total indoctrination and a lot of bullying, and these were graduate level courses.

The first exposure to "Critical Race Theory" was in a course that I have conveniently forgotten the name of, and which was a total waste of time and money.   In this class, we were expected to share about any injustices we experienced, and if we were white to talk about our "White Priveledge".  

So I shared some personal stories, some very personal stories as they related to "race" and gender, and I was given a C.  Now in graduate school, if you get a C, that is like getting an F.  So, given that the assignment was a personal reflection, and I was very personal in my reflection I asked the teacher what the poor grade was about.  She pointed to the rubric *gag* and indicated where I had failed to meet all the boxes.  I have shared in other posts about how vile I find rubrics to be.  *Rubrics Kill Creativity*.  Basically, I missed the bullet point where I was supposed to say how "racist" I am and how priveldege I am because I am white.  

Now here it the thing.  I have always worked in the black community, in fact I was working at a 95% black school at the time.  I have always dated black men, in fact at the time my boyfriend was black (what a handsome man he was), and in fact and always for my whole life since I was a young child my greatest heroes are black --Martin Luther King, Jr. and Harriet Tubman.  So this was a shocker to me to find out that I am actually racist?!  

There was another woman in the class, whom I loved very much.  She was from Guatemala.  She was humble and brilliant, and told many funny stories of being an affluent Hispanic woman in San Diego (i.e. getting often confused with being the cleaning lady).  She was brilliant and had so much patience and grace.  She confronted the teacher, asking her what she should tell her son, that he was "half priveledged" and that he should hate his white half?

That is really what it felt like, as though I should hate myself, hate the white part of myself.  How incredibly sad.  How incredibly assinine.  How lacking in spiritual awareness and the true message of the great leaders asking us to come together and love one another, and so see beyond the color of the skin to the content of the character.

The bottom line is, the Federal Government has destroyed our schools.  Their hostile take over wasn't an organic evolution of the content based on a collective desire.  It was a planned system of control and indocrination.  ​ 

The Federal Government has been lying to us adults and defrauding us for years, now they are taking it into the schools, and getting an early start.

It is time to do something about it.
