"Pitt introduces initiative for 'justice teaching' in public schools

• The new PittEd Justice Collective pushes “justice teaching” and anti-racist initiatives in schools at all levels.
• One of the efforts sponsored by the collective aims to "create and sustain a pipeline of justice-minded activists."

Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education recently put together a three-year working group called the PittEd Justice Collective. This group was created on June 1 in response to “the loss of Black lives through police brutality and other forms of institutional injustice" with a stated purpose to “situate equity and justice across all levels of our school's operations, culture, climate, and academic engagements.”

The group aims to collaborate with "school districts on justice teaching, with an explicit focus on pedagogies, practices, and assessments" and establish a "Youth-for-Justice Dean’s Advisory Committee."

The thing is, PC . . . tens of thousands of these small battles are fought everyday in small community governments between traditionalist decent, Christian Americans and Agenda 21 social equity automatons who are fully on board with the United Nation's global plans for world government, for worldwide green communism. The true insidiousness of our current nationwide descent into suicidal civilizational transformation is that there is no "silver bullet" solution. How can we fight tens of thousands of small but very hot burning anti-American fires when most people don't even know or care what's happening in the next neighborhood over, let alone the closest city or town?

America is no longer ONE nation (under God). America has become ten thousand independent nations (under Agenda 21), with each small nation implementing whatever globalist Satanist madness in every aspect of our lives from government school curricula to private property "management" management policies and social equity enforcement. How is it that America (as a nation whole) pulled out of Kyoto, but the mayors of many cities rejoined it? Or how about the UN safe cities initiative? Our President would never go for that yet several American cities are members.

America is being disassembled one small community at a time. This will progress until enough of them are onboard with Agenda 21 to unite and overthrow our system of government in a possibly bloodless coup. The way it looks to me at this very moment? There's not a damn thing anyone can do to stop it.

I am actually feeling quite upbeat today. Could be the bourbon laced coffee or thoughts of an upcoming family gathering. Either way, I always suspected I'd be unlucky enough to watch the sun rise over the end of civilization as we know it (too many campy 80's sci-fi movies, perhaps.) At least I'll have plenty of company. And if it doesn't all come crashing down at once? I think I'll go fishing.

You're too smart not to recognize the last few months as a return to paganism, and might makes right, and see our major political party encourage and shield the savages in the streets.

The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, support for rioters, arsonists, murderers, and anarchists, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.


And these are the individuals that control the education industry.

What I am is old enough and educated enough in American history to know that we have gone through periods of upheaval before. We have always come through it stronger and better. We will come through this very strange period of time as well.

I have also worked in all aspects of the education industry for more than a quarter of a century. There is no nefarious conspiracy to corrupt or brainwash or any such nonsense. There simply is not. A lot of teachers happen to be liberal, but that does not indicate some evil scheme on a vast scale. This is simply untrue. People seem to love the hysteria of imagining this, but I am telling you for the One millionth time, that it is not so. I think people are looking for a bogeyman to distract from the much more difficult issue of larger societal changes, and not necessarily positive ones, that have been taking place since the 1960s at least.

The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom. That bit of news caused her great alarm.
“The fact that students were cautioned against allowing their parents to see anything is deeply troubling,” West told me. “The only reasonable explanation is they don’t want parents to know what it is their children are learning.”

3. Under pressure from transgender activists, progressive politicians, teacher unions, and the education establishment, and despite parents’ opposition, America’s public schools are capitulating to ideologues and implementing the radical transgender agenda with full force.
...regardless of biological sex, .... Activists want every child, from kindergarten on, to learn that “sex” is something “assigned at birth” rather than a biological reality. They want children to think that individuals get to choose their own “gender identity” (not limited to male or female), and that everyone else must affirm that “gender identity” as true.


...nothing that parents (or teachers) can do to prevent the schools from imposing policies designed to indoctrinate children with gender ideology.

In public education, the “deep state” describes a coalition of various groups – including teachers’ unions, progressive advocacy groups, major corporations, and philanthropists --that work together to promote the progressive worldview..."

4. The National Education Association approved a new "business item" expressing support for abortion access during its annual conference in Houston.

"[T]he NEA will include an assertion of our defense of a person's right to control their own body, especially for women, youth, and sexually marginalized people," the resolution states. "The NEA vigorously opposes all attacks on the right to choose and stands on the fundamental right to abortion under Roe v. Wade."

The NEA is the largest teachers' union in the U.S. with more than 3 million members. It collected nearly $400 million from American educators in 2018, according to federal labor filings. The union is also one of the most politically active in the country, spending $70 million on politics and lobbying in 2017 and 2018. Nearly all of the union's political action committee spending went to Democrats during the midterm cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

6. NYC schools allow kids to go on #ClimateStrike
“TEN YEARS. We have ten years to save the planet,” Mayor Bill de Blasio cautioned in a tweet. “Today’s leaders are making decisions for our environment that our kids will have to live with. New York City stands with our young people. They’re our conscience. We support the 9/20 #ClimateStrike.”

Legions of adolescent activists across the globe are expected to demand immediate action to combat climate change in advance of a major UN conference on the issue next week.

As long as mom and dad sanction their principled truancy, absent kids won’t have attendance records dinged, the DOE said.

The September 20th event will feature Sweden’s “Climate Crisis” sweetheart, 16-year old Greta Thunberg.

Teen activist and Swedish sensation Greta Thunberg, who recently docked her zero-emissions sailboat in New York, will speak at the event which will snake its way through lower Manhattan to Battery Park.

Kids with parental permission to attend will be granted excused absences from school, Education Department officials tweeted Thursday.

The infamous “Green New Deal” will be promoted as well.

The New York City climate strike is backed by more than 100 environmental and political activist groups and other institutions, including New York Communities for Change, The New School and the Sierra Club.

The protesters’ demands include a “Green New Deal” that would end fossil fuel extraction and move the nation onto entirely renewable energy sources by 2030. Green New Deal policies have been backed by the likes of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Personally, if I were one of the kids, I might argue about going to school at all. After all, if the Earth only has 10 more years before we are going to die, wouldn’t it be better to spend the time having fun or spending quality time with family?

On the other hand, if the New York City school officials were really invested in solving the climate crisis, wouldn’t they emphasize science and math? Perhaps keeping the kids in school and having them conduct experiments or perform calculations would inspire an interest in real climate science.

One theory that seems to prove true and is certainly consistent with what is happening with the New York City schools: When global problems are emphasized by locals, serious local matters are being ignored.

Case in point: New York state test results for third- through eighth-grade public school students are out, and the results are underwhelming.

Statewide, more than half the kids flunked yet again: Just 45.4% were deemed proficient in reading and 46.7% in math. In the city, 47.4% passed the reading test, while 45.6% got by in math.

Think the problem’s skimpy funding? Sorry: In 2017, the Empire Center’s E.J. McMahon reported in May, New York shelled out 89% more per kid than the national average. And that gap has been growing fast: In 1997, per-pupil outlays here were just 45% above average.

…In the city Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza tried to spin the results positively. The pass rate in English, they noted, is up 0.7 percentage points — and three whole points in math.

“Growth counts for something,” Carranza insisted.

Huh? That paltry uptick is what they’re proud of? Even though more than half the kids bombed? Please.

Notably, kids in the one category of public schools de Blasio and Carranza (and their union pals) don’t run — i.e., the charters — beat their counterparts in the regular schools by more than 10 percentage points in both English and math.

At least the kids won’t be flying private jets to attend the event. That makes them substantially less hypocritical than the celebrities who will be indoctrinating them during the Manhattan event.

I note with interest that all of those insisting upon some grand conspiracy in education are those who do not and have not worked in education. It’s sort of like me telling a group of doctors that they are full of shit when they tell me about the medical profession. I point to some newspaper clippings and some criminal acts or unethical practices that are corrected or punished and tell them that I know better than they do about the profession they have worked in for decades. It’s kind of ridiculous.

You can do better than that.

Did you notice that every one of the items I posted is linked, sourced and documented?

Did you notice that a number of them referenced entire school districts.

It's sad, but you must face the facts: the Left, Militant Secularism, has weaponized the education industry against American heritage and against America's interests.


I hope you are right that it will be restored after a time....but I see not movement in that direction.

 

[Unkotare]

I will tell you what I see. I see the many many many many many teachers I have worked with over decades, only a small handful of whom would ever consider teaching or promoting the kind of nonsense that is posited here as the norm. This goes for administrators I have worked with or for. I have worked with and do work with more than a few teachers who are nearly as conservative as I am. The vast majority of teachers, like regular people, do not feel comfortable discussing political issues at all.

 

[Unkotare]

Too many people seem too eager to point and scream in fear at a few foot prints while ignoring the giant monster making them. It is irresponsible to ignore large systematic threats on the societal level for the comfort of a bogeyman that can be easily pointed to as the cause of all such ills. Chase out the bogeyman and everything will be fine, right? No. It is a much bigger problem than that. Look at the politicians, look at the media, look at entertainment including now even sports. It is not about public schools, it is about our society and our culture in ourselves as a people. Clinging to anecdotes and aberrations is missing the point. The real work is much harder than that. Maybe some of the people who want to point and scream are just too lazy to roll up our collective sleeves and do the work.

Your observations, I'll stipulate, are correct.

But the plural of 'anecdote' is not data.

I see how deeply you'd like to believe schools have remained the same.....but I must be the bearer of sad tidings.

The facts are as I documented. The proof is in our streets.

 

[Unkotare]

It’s not that schools have remained the same, it’s that society has changed. Not because of schools, but along with them. There is a much bigger and more troubling picture here than just saying “oh those darn public schools.” The fantasies of some here of razing every public school in the country wouldn’t solve the problem in the slightest.

"Pitt introduces initiative for 'justice teaching' in public schools

• The new PittEd Justice Collective pushes “justice teaching” and anti-racist initiatives in schools at all levels.
• One of the efforts sponsored by the collective aims to "create and sustain a pipeline of justice-minded activists."

Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education recently put together a three-year working group called the PittEd Justice Collective. This group was created on June 1 in response to “the loss of Black lives through police brutality and other forms of institutional injustice" with a stated purpose to “situate equity and justice across all levels of our school's operations, culture, climate, and academic engagements.”

The group aims to collaborate with "school districts on justice teaching, with an explicit focus on pedagogies, practices, and assessments" and establish a "Youth-for-Justice Dean’s Advisory Committee."

This is exactly the critical race theory propaganda that Trump outlawed in governemnt.

Aw... and I thought in reading the OP that you were alluding to schools opened in Red States where school aged kids have been infected with Covid. Mea culpa to the reader, of course PC wouldn't post anything rational.

It’s not that schools have remained the same, it’s that society has changed. Not because of schools, but along with them. There is a much bigger and more troubling picture here than just saying “oh those darn public schools.” The fantasies of some here of razing every public school in the country wouldn’t solve the problem in the slightest.

" Not because of schools,..."


The schools are the number one cause.

The corrupt media comes in at #2.

1. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51

1. “[The radicals] did not go away or change their minds; the New Left shattered into a multitude of single-issue groups. We now have, to name a few, radical feminists, black extremists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, activist homosexual organizations, multiculturalists, organizations such as People for the American Way, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), the National Organization for Women (NOW), and Planned Parenthood.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 53

They took control of the schools and curriculum.


The most popular book in teacher's college is by the Marxist Paolo Freire.

Pedagogy of the Oppressor
At a recent meeting of the New York Teaching Fellows program (“Teach for America”: provides an alternate route to state certification for about 1,700 new teachers annually) , Sol Stern found the one book that the fellows had to read in full was Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire.
This book has achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs. In 2003, David Steiner and Susan Rozen published a study examining the curricula of 16 schools of education—14 of them among the top-ranked institutions in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report—and found that Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses.
