Teachers will be Sent to San Diego Convention Center to Provide In-Person Learning For Migrants While Schools in Same County Remain Closed

This is Joe Biden’s America.

Illegal aliens come first and Americans are second class citizens.

California – According to San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, the San Diego County Board of Education will be sending teachers for in-person learning for the illegal alien migrant children at the convention center.

The illegal aliens will be learning in person while many schools in San Diego County are still closed for in-person learning.

More than 500 unaccompanied minor migrants, most of whom are from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, were flown from Texas to San Diego over the weekend to take shelter at the San Diego Convention Center.

The first group of illegal aliens arrived on Saturday night after flying from Texas to San Diego airport.

They were then taken by buses to their temporary shelter.

The second group of 250 migrants arrived to San Diego on Monday, according to Fox 5.

The unaccompanied migrants will be provided “vital services” such as medical care, food, a place to sleep and showers.

The illegal alien children aged 13-17 will also be in-person learning while American children are forced to attend Zoom classes and fall behind.

It gets worse.

California teacher suggests that parents who want their children to return to in-person learning are WHITE SUPREMACISTS who ‘bullied a board into making schools less safe for teachers and kids’

A California teacher appeared to suggest that parents who want to send their children back to school are white supremacists who ‘bullied a board into making schools less safe for teachers and kids’.

Damian Harmony, who teaches Latin at John F. Kennedy High School in Sacramento, made the remarks to the school board.   

He later posted the content to Facebook, but as of Tuesday morning, it has been deleted from his page. 

During his remarks, Harmony said: ‘I come to you as a grateful parent. I’m grateful that I kept my children home. And I’m especially grateful for what I heard from parents last week. Until then, the only way I could measure the level of white supremacy in my neighborhood was the Next Door app.

‘The people clamoring for a district to break its legally-negotiated MOU with teachers who are going to be teaching their own children, who treat the teachers’ efforts as though they’ve not been exhausting and ever-present, while also going through a pandemic themselves, made it much easier.’

Harmony continued: ‘I’m as disappointed as I am unsurprised that last week, we all had to hear all the cynical, pearl-clutching, faux-urgency, ableist, structurally White-supremacist, hysteria, even as teachers were moving forward with an MOU that already put them in harm’s way and was asking too much of a beleaguered group of professionals.’

Minnesota’s New Social Studies Curriculum Would Racialize First-Graders, Teach High Schoolers About The Evils Of ‘Whiteness, Capitalism, And Christianity’

The Minnesota Department of Education released a draft of its new social studies curriculum standards, which place a new emphasis on diversity, equity, and gender.

The social studies curriculum is up for state-wide review during the 2020-21 school year as part of Minnesota’s 10-year cyclical curriculum review. The Department of Education’s standards committee has dubbed the new framework a “more inclusive approach to social studies education.”

According to a copy of the standards, the committee wants to begin social studies classes with a land acknowledgment. Land acknowledgments tell students that they are learning on land that was conquered by Americans, though once belonged to Native Americans.

“Minnesota is the contemporary and ancestral home of the Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples, and social studies education on this land will acknowledge and honor their contemporary and historical voices,” the draft reads.

Under the new standards, learning about social justice curriculum begins in the first grade. Six and seven-year-olds may be taught about systemic discrimination and how groups have fought against such discrimination.

Ohio Public School District Spends $134,000 In Legal Fees On Permits For ‘Gender-Neutral’ Bathrooms

A public school district in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio has spent more than $134,000 in legal fees to obtain a permit to install only gender-neutral bathrooms in six of its new facilities, in violation of state code. 

In the fall of 2017, the Upper Arlington School District successfully passed a $230 million tax to rebuild five elementary schools and Upper Arlington High School. Construction on the high school and four of the elementary schools began in 2019. 

The school board and Superintendent erected five of the six new buildings with only gender-neutral bathrooms, though the Ohio Building Code mandates that any facility with “plumbing fixtures” requires separate accommodations for each sex.

SF school board VP: Many Asian Americans use ‘white supremacist thinking’ to ‘get ahead’

The vice president of the San Francisco School Board came under increasing fire this week, after a campaign to have her removed from office revealed social media posts from 2016 where she made several racist comments against Asian Americans.

Alison Collins went on a lengthy tirade arguing – among other things – that many Asian Americans use “white supremacist thinking” to “get ahead,” and called Asian Americans who did not speak out against then-President Donald Trump as “house” N-words.

A campaign led by San Francisco parents to recall members of the school board was initially launched over frustrations over the panel’s refusal to allow schools to reopen.

How California Is Embracing Mandatory Racial-Injustice Study for All of Its 1.7 Million High Schoolers

The latest curriculum, however scaled back, still shares similarities with an earlier, rejected draft that a top state official said failed to comply with state law, and the Los Angeles Times editorial board characterized as a jumble of “politically correct pronouncements” that feel like “an exercise in groupthink, designed to proselytize and inculcate more than to inform and open minds.”

When all is said and done, the material emphasizing whites’ subjugation of non-whites is not a conventional textbook subject, but an ideology with an activist political agenda. Revisions may never satisfy parents and teachers who believe public schools shouldn’t be in the business of teaching kids how to develop a “social consciousness” or using class time to pinpoint a student’s intersectional identity to determine where they fit on a hierarchy of power.

At the same time, ethnic studies activists are furious that their efforts at promoting social justice, and centering “voices of color” are being diluted by, as they put it, power structures such as “whiteness,” Zionism and assimilationism.
