I can prove it!
In God We Trust is still on our money, if progressives have their way it won’t be much longer. This is pretty much the last place God is allowed in today’s society, but that isn’t what you need to see.
Read the bottom of the back side. I bet that isn’t taught in schools in anymore – hold on, I can prove that one too.
E Pluribus Unum
One From Many
This Latin phrase goes all the back to our Founders. Guys like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams used it to describe the process of forming a nation from 13 distinct colonies.
“Over the years, “E Pluribus Unum” has also served as a reminder of America’s bold attempt to make one unified nation of people from many different backgrounds and beliefs. The challenge of seeking unity while respecting diversity has played a critical role in shaping our history, our literature, and our national character.” https://www1.assumption.edu/ahc/
Multi-culturalism is many cultures, it isn’t One American Culture made up of diversity. It’s divide and conquer. It’s us against them mentality, It’s pick a group to blame and make everybody else hate them. It’s divisive policies instead of a Melting Pot.
Remember when people from around the world cam here to be AMERICANS? They didn’t flee tyranny, famine, and oppression to create the same country they left. The Irish, Germans, Japanese, and people from every other country didn’t arrive to hyphenate who they were!
ISU just opened their multicultural center. Stay in your lane however, they have 4 groups: https://multiculturalcenter.illinoisstate.edu/communities/
Many From Many
Jump to District 87. They send emails to teachers with imbedded links. This is one:
How not to teach Thanksgiving! Instead of Pilgrims, Indians and Turkey, show the kids the awful treatment the Indians got at the hands of white people. In other words, make them never want to celebrate Thanksgiving again. Teachers could have the students read George Washington’s Thanksgiving proclamation or read why Abraham Lincoln made the 4th Thursday of November a National Holiday. Of course that would bring God into the classroom, so let’s make up history or cherry pick injustices instead.
(Hey progressives: If you can find a perfect country please move there.)
District 87 also suggests teaching for justice. Also called Critical Race Theory and indoctrination.
Here’s another linked article, all teachers in Illinois will be trained this way in the future thanks to progressive democrats: https://www.colorincolorado.org/article/culturally-responsive-instruction-holiday-and-religious-celebrations?fbclid=IwAR3USTVzxJZm5fz1XJ6B7Dz4Q8gWQ6f05C57UW68Hyc3-3iox-B9Or2bpb4
While the rest of the world focuses on creating the work force of the future through programs like STEM, our schools are going to be culturally responsive teaching kids. The heck with reading, writing, math, and science!
Are public schools saying some “cultures” can’t learn those? All kids don’t learn the same way but it has nothing to do with culture. Some are visional learners, some learn by watching what others do, some learn by reading books for themselves.
Read the culturally responsive teaching list. Teachers won’t have time to time the essentials, but maybe that’s the point!
E Pluribus Unum died when progressives took over education.
I have read through the new teacher’s job description in the Illinois teaching standard. It is called Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT). Was that on purpose? I think so because the people who wrote it think Critical Race Theory (CRT) is proper and effective and legal. It is none of those. There are a number of civil rights laws, the equal protection law and the Constitution that say it is absolutely illegal to discriminate or favor one race over another. WHERE ARE THE LAWYERS?
