Explosion of Critical Race Theory in K-12 Schools

Schools are integrating Critical Race Theory (CRT) into all aspects of curriculum, even math! Is your child being exposed at school to this detrimental theory? According to Britannica, CRT is the view that race, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is socially constructed and that race, as a socially constructed concept, functions as a means to maintain the interests of the white population that constructed it.

Please read this article as to what CRT is and how it may be affecting your child.

Child Protection League has released and published this landmark, comprehensive, and exhaustive scientific and legal research on the harm done to children when their privacy is violated.

Racial Quotas in School Policies

Upon recommendation of the Federal Commission studying school safety, acting U.S. Attorney General Whitaker rescinded the Obama-era “Racial Equity in School Discipline” directive that disregarded federal law and subjected public school students to two-tiered discipline based on race. However, the Dayton administration anticipated this sea change and initiated its own racial quotas directive. In October of 2017, the MN Department of Human Rights (MDHR) sent a letter to 43 school districts informing them that they have a “racial discipline disparity” in violation of the MN Human Rights Act. Unless they entered into a “settlement agreement” with the state, they would file charges and investigate them for civil rights violations. Minnesota is full steam ahead implementing the racial quotas in school discipline in schools throughout the state.

This is what Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) is: Your child can have any kind of sex anywhere, anytime, with anybody, at any age, and it’s perfectly normal. Is that okay with you?

SIECUS, the umbrella organization of Planned Parenthood, has launched a national movement to advance Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) in every state and in every school in the nation. In 2019, a majority of the MN House voted to mandate (HF1414) every PreK-12 public/charter

New Development: Drag Queen Story Hour and the ALA

The American Library Association (ALA) receives millions in federal funding. The proposed 2021 federal budget cuts funding to the library association. ALA is lobbying for continued federal funding. “ALA encourages everyone—library workers and library lovers alike—to email their members of Congress today and urge them to protect library funding in FY 2021.”

Any public funding needs to come with strong prohibitions against sponsoring and promoting LGBT and Drag Queen events. We, too, need contact our federal legislators and urge them to stop funding the ALA! Find your legislators at Who Represents Me?
