Showing Original Post only (View all)Pennsylvania School Board Bans Critical Race Theory by Passing 'Patriotism Amendment' [View all]
The Mars Area, Pennsylvania School Board voted unanimously to pass a Patriotism Amendment to the districts mission statement Tuesday night in a move that is designed to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory.
The new statement adds to the districts mission to promote Informed, Engaged and Patriotic Citizens, as the Cranberry Eagle reports.
The addition prohibits the teaching of concepts that assign fault, blame, or guilt to people solely because of race, sex and religion, and opposes materials that indoctrinate students in a single social, or political, ideology and/or theory, or promote one race, religion or sex above others.

Emphasis mine
Do they understand when they pull meaningless bullshit stunts like this, that they are just telling the rest of us that they are white supremacist racist wankers? And do they care? Are they s far down the rabid right wing rabbit hole of counter factual living that they wear their racism with pride? I think maybe so.

Nothing new. It's just "in-writing" now... explicit and bare for all to see.

If you can't indoctrinate students in a single theory, then no more teaching that capitalism
