Put aside, for the moment, that 'justice' requires no modifier.

1.Education, at one time, involved the passing on of facts, and wisdom, ...and assimilation. Immigrants mostly attended urban public schools, which undertook their assimilation, acculturation, and Americanization as essential parts of public education, in addition to academics, deportment and character and patriotic values, civics and hygiene.

2. Earlier American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike, agreed on two basic goals: teach the newcomers English and make them Americans. The clear aim was to strengthen our national identity--to reinforce the unum in e pluribus unum--by assimilating the new arrivals into American civilization. Anti-Americanization



3. No longer.
Since the 'education' industry has been taken over by Liberals/Democrats/Progressives, it has been given a totally different mission.


4. "Classrooms of the Absurd
New York’s public school system embraces social-justice education theories—even as the city’s successful charter schools show what really works.

The purveyors of higher-education theory have ginned up one more meritless rationalization for the subpar performance of traditional—read: heavily unionized—public schools in American cities. It’s called “math equity,” an emerging doctrine holding that schools can’t teach city kids to count without first exorcising racism—or, as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics declares, without forcing teachers to “reflect on their own identity, positions, and beliefs in regards to racist and sorting-based mechanisms.”

5. According to The College Fix, an education-reform blog, math equity “refers to the growing insistence among educators that teaching math in the classroom comes with some inherently biased methodology that must be addressed. Proponents of ‘math equity’ also stress the importance of social justice issues such as race, diversity and gender in math education.”
Classrooms of the Absurd




This will never end until, either, the Democrats and their subsidiaries, are exiled and/or destroyed....or every trace of America's history, heritage, values and morality, is destroyed.
