Action Civics and the Critical Race Theory in the Classroom and Your Community

 BEWARE ACTION CIVICS

Protect Our Children. 

 

A new push for our children’s minds and hearts is coming through the "education" pipeline. Most everyone has heard of dangers of Common Core but Common Core on steroids will soon be introduced in a form known as “Action Civics”. Local Boards of Education got tangled up in Common Core by requesting federal “Race to the Top Funding.” As a consequence they were required to adopt the Common Core Standards. Billions of federal dollars will soon become available should the Civics Secures Democracy Act, surprisingly co-sponsored by Republican Senators John Cornyn (Texas) and Tom Cole (Oklahoma), become law. 

Action Civics is based on President Biden’s backing of Critical Race Theory. What is Critical Race theory? Critical race theory (CRT), is a movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the belief that raceis not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of color. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist in so far as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.(Wikipedia)

Should the Civics Secures Democracy Act pass, billions of dollars would be spent to politicize students who would be graded on their political action. Teachers, grounded in the politicization of the colleges of education and through teacher certification, are even now making “project based civics” a requirement for classroom credit and even graduation. Those action based projects are usually associated with Alinsky based organizations. Students skip class and lead protests in the community. 

 

All of this is happening behind parents’ backs. So, what can we do? 
1. Attend Local School Board Meetings and let your representative know you DO NOT WANT them applying for those dollars tying curriculum to this policy. 

2. Contact Senators Cornyn and Cole to warn them of what they are actually supporting. 

3. Demand that our Governor STOP the Alabama State School Board from passing this legislation on the state level. 

4. Oppose volunteer requirements and “service learning” as a part of civics education for graduation. 

5. Oppose your local or state school board requiring teachers to discuss current political issues. 

 

The New York Times proposes the 1619 Project as the foundation of American History and Civics education and as a vehicle for Critical Race Theory. Robert Woodson, Civil Rights Activist, counters the 1619 Project with 1776 Unites, a movement to draw on the best of America’s past while also maintaining a special focus on stories that celebrate black excellence, reject victimhood culture, and showcase African-Americans who have prospered. The choice is clear to us. But is it to our elected officials?

This is where the Director of Instruction for the State of Alabama was leading our Education Department.
