America's children are in real trouble.
While some may have thought the domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, had turned over a new leaf when he got his PHD in education at Columbia, the truth is Ayers still works on dismantling America from the inside, and, through Barach Obama he set up a framework to do so.
For those who are not well-versed on 60s politics, Ayers was a leader of the Weathermen, the most radical of all 1960s revolutionaries. Among other things, the Weathermen bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol and sprung Timothy Leary from jail. His wife, Bernadine Dohrn, was on the FBI's list of most wanted criminals.
As Ayers puts it, “There’s a lot in white Americans that we do have to fight, and beat out of them and beat out of ourselves,” Ayers said in a speech. “We have to be willing to fight white privilege, racism, male supremacy–in order to build a revolutionary movement.”
Ironically, Bill Ayers is allowed to speak on college campuses, unlike conservative speakers. His T-shirt reads: “America is like a melting pot: The people at the bottom get burned and the scum floats to the top.”
He is formerly Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). He works in the university’s elementary teacher education program. His specialty is school improvement. He has written one book on early childhood education and another about teaching. He publishes regularly in scholarly journals. Each year he trains dozens of would-be teachers for private, public, and parochial schools. And he was the director of the Chicago Annenberg Project which Barach Obama chaired from 1991-1995. As Ayers sees it, teachers and students are victims of an oppressive schooling system that “manages and controls” instead of “opening possibilities.”
At the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, “the brainchild of Bill Ayers,” they funneled more that $100 million to radical groups which used the funds to promote radical education. This initiative was also promoted by Arne Duncan, who became Secretary of Education. Also as board members of the Woods Fund, Ayers and Obama channeled money to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and the Midwest Academy: Organizing for Social Change.
In 2003, Barach Obama supported Illinois Senate Bill 99, which despite his denials and false claims by the mainstream media was not a bill to protect children from sexual predators. On the contrary, it was a sweeping, comprehensive sex-education bill that lowered the age of instruction from sixth grade to kindergarten. It gutted an abstinence emphasis and prohibited "bias" based on "sexual orientation." The term "sexual predator" is nowhere in the bill.
In 2007, a group from the American Educational Research Association (AERA), including Ayers, demanded major accrediting organization for schools, colleges, and departments of education include categories of "social justice, sexual orientation and gender identity" in its standards. Ayers and colleagues called their effort "Call to Action: A RED Campaign for Social Justice and Queer Lives." Formerly vice president for curriculum of the AERA, Ayers was the spokesman on behalf of the effort and called on the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) to include these categories.
Would all schools in the U.S., under the muscle of an Obama administration, be forced to drill youth in the talking points of "gay" sex and gender–switching, calling it "justice"? Would Ayers' idea that America is an oppressive regime with way too much heterosexuality become a core tenet of your child's value system?
Ayers wrote an endorsement on the book, Queering Elementary Schools: Advancing the Dialogue about Sexualities and Schooling for which Kevin Jennings, founder of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian &Straight Education Network), wrote the foreword. Ayers recommended Jennings to be Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. According to the GLSEN website, the National Association of School Psychologists, the Learning First Alliance, the National Education Association, the Council for Exceptional Children, Social Workers Association of America and the American Federation of Teachers are their longtime partners in the education world. They say the purpose of GLSEN is to transform America's K-12 schools into an "affirming environment".
Please take note: The Alabama Psychological Association (aPA) was established in 1950 and is a state affiliate of the American Psychological Association. So when the Alabama legislature passed the Numeracy Act and included putting psychologists in every school, you might wonder why.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics encourage the move away from the traditional emphasis on computational skills like multiplication tables and algorithms—a teaching method that university mathematicians still favor but that many K–12 math teachers dismiss as “drill and kill.” Teachers (particularly liberal and left-leaning teachers) instead use a “constructivist” or “discovery-based” pedagogy, sometimes called “fuzzy math.” Here students learn mathematical concepts by trying to solve real-life problems, like social justice lessons on how military budgets for the war in Iraq deny poor Americans their fair share of resources as an advance beyond problems about baseball statistics, shopping, or building.
Remember "Constructivist" equals cognitive dissonance. And when you see "social justice" you might as well think about the Bill Ayers and all he supports and why he promotes "constructivist" education and the creation of cognitive dissonance.
Martin and Strutchens have been on nearly every state math committee in Alabama; in fact, Dr. Strutchens chaired the committee in 2019.
With math teachers more concerned with social justice lessons than actually teaching math we fear that Queer Mathematics will soon be in our schools if it isn't already.
"For the last decade or so, largely working beneath public or parental notice, a well-organized movement has sought to revolutionize the curricula and culture of the nation’s public schools. Its aim: to stamp out “hegemonic heterosexuality”—the traditional view that heterosexuality is the norm—in favor of a new ethos that does not just tolerate homosexuality but instead actively endorses experimenting with it, as well as with a polymorphous range of bisexuality, transgenderism, and transsexuality. The educational establishment has enthusiastically signed on. What this portends for the future of the public schools and the psychic health of the nation’s children is deeply worrisome." writes Marjorie King.

"Schools should be focused on teaching children core curriculum and not on asking intrusive questions that have nothing to do with core subjects," Parents Defending Education President Nicole Neilly told Fox News Digital. "Injecting Social Emotional Learning into math class not only distracts from teaching students the basics, but it also undermines the program's purpose - because higher self-esteem is a direct result of subject mastery."
Contrary to what parents want in their children's math education, the Queer Mathematics Teacher site states, "The ability to consider sexuality irrelevant in the mathematics context is a heteronormatively privileged position." They note that some areas of their expertise include "queer pedagogy," "teaching mathematics for social justice," "Fostering Students' Growth Mindset (While Advocating for Systemic Change," and "Humanizing Mathematics Education for LGBTQ+ Students."
Brandie Waid, the left-wing activist promoting the Queer Mathematics Teacher, even goes so far as to suggest that activist educators should teach critical race theory and gender theory, even if it means breaking the law. Waid writes, “I implore my colleagues to ask: How can we work within (or outside) the confines of these laws to center Transformative SEL and student thriving in our teaching?”
NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION C-12
Student Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Gender Expression
"The National Education Association believes that all persons, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, should be afforded equal opportunity and guaranteed a safe and inclusive environment within the public education system. The Association also believes a safe and inclusive environment ensures that all transgender students have access to the bathroom or locker of their choice and protects them from breaches of confidentiality. The Association believes that LGBTQ students have the right to privacy and confidentiality regarding their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Further, educators must respect these students and their choice of whether or not to reveal their orientation, identity, or expression.
The Association further believes that, for students who are struggling with their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, every school district and educational institution should provide counseling services and programs--staffed by trained personnel--that deal with high suicide and dropout rates and the high incidence of teen prostitution. The Association further believes that therapies designed to alter a student's orientation or identity are harmful to the emotional development of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, and questioning (LGBTQ+) students. Therefore, students should have access to gender affirming health care.
The Association believes that all transgender students should be able to use the bathroom or locker room of their choice."
What do they mean when they say students should have access to gender affirming health care? Do parents get to be involved in this "gender affirming" health care? Do these people support the mutilation of small children whom they have confused (gender dysphoria) with their "lessons" (cognitive dissonance)? Are they coming at innocent children during a time of their natural development when they prefer playing with children of their own sex and confuse them into thinking this is a "trans" issue? They admit, no they boast, that they intentionally use constructivist methodology to create cognitive dissonance in children.
Jane Robbins, attorney, researcher, and author in Atlanta, GA., writes in "The Cracks in the Edifice of Transgender Totalitarianism, "The epidemic of supposed gender dysphoria among children and adolescents—“transgenderism”—has often been described as a cult. The designation is in some ways apt. Though lacking a charismatic leader usually found in such movements, other expert descriptions of cults certainly apply: “designed to destabilize an individual’s sense of self by undermining his or her basic consciousness, reality awareness, beliefs and worldview, [and] emotional control.” Cults also lead the target to believe that “anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt can be reduced by adopting the concepts put forth by the group.” The promise is a “new identity” that will solve all problems, even as it separates one from family and previous life."
And so you can see the effects of creating cognitive dissonance through Constructivist methodology.
A program established under the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013 establishes a tax-credit scholarship that students assigned to "failing" schools can use to attend any "non-failing" public or private school in the state. A "failing" school in this case has a broad definition: It includes any school getting a D or F grade on the state's accountability system; any school in the lowest 10 percent of scores on the state's standardized assessment in reading and math; any school labeled as "consistently low-performing: by the state education department in a state application for a federal School Improvement Grant; or any school otherwise deemed as "failing" by the state superintendent.
The tax credit is equal to 80 percent of the state's per-pupil cost of attending a public school, or the actual cost of attending a non-failing public school. For parents applying for tax credits, the legislation creates a new Failing Schools Income Tax Credit Account to distribute the funds. The law also allows for scholarship-granting organizations to receive donations from both private individuals and corporations, and in turn provide the funds for parents to use in the school choice program. The donation cap for individuals is $7500 annually, and corporations may receive a tax credit of 50 percent of their total donations. The law also institutes a statewide cap on tax credits of $24 million annually.
When one considers the failure of our schools to teach our children reading and math, and the massive intrusion into parents right with psychological manipulation of small children contrary to the attitudes and beliefs of their parents, perhaps parents could consider this when claiming "tax credits" or "vouchers" to take their children from the schools violating their trust to the school of their choice.
Accreditation remains a problem as the entities promoting this agenda control credentialing of teachers. The only way to really eliminate the progression of this agenda is to bypass credentialing by giving the money to the parent who can choose schools who hire teachers with degrees outside of education and to attend schools that adhere to curriculum that is knowledge based. Like Saxon Math and reading programs using Systematic Intensive Direct and Early Phonics education.
Parents need to be aware that the "award winning" books available to their child sometimes contain graphic information on sex that may not fit their idea of appropriate. Those who determine those awards have themselves accepted an agenda that may not fit that of the child's parents. These books are available through the Media Center at Dothan Preparatory school, grades 6 through 9. There is no parental group to oversee physical books chosen for the library like there once was.
This is your child's media center.
As Ayers puts it, “There’s a lot in white Americans that we do have to fight, and beat out of them and beat out of ourselves,” Ayers said in a speech. “We have to be willing to fight white privilege, racism, male supremacy–in order to build a revolutionary movement.”
Maybe it's time to protect our children and fight back!
