(AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) Being a disabled preschooler surely comes with a hefty row to hoe.
But some in the North Carolina government have decided it’s not enough.
As relayed by the Education First Alliance , the state’s General Assembly has granted funding for Critical Race Theory to be taught in special education preschool classrooms.
From EFA’s press release : The $7M to fund the program came from the IDEA ( Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ) Preschool Handicapped Grant awarded to the state by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the US Department of Education. EFA’s president, Sloan Rachmuth, remarked , “With this vote, North Carolina’s schools became the most radically divisive education system in America.”
Just days ago, the State School Board approved a training contract with UNC Chapel-Hill’s Frank Porter Graham’s (FPG) Child Development Center . The agreement aims at developing “Equity and Cultural Responsiveness in the Early Childhood Classroom” training modules.
EFA reports that, as part of the system’s “Identity” module, pre-K teachers are informed thusly: Key Takeaway: We are all products of a racialized society. Whiteness affects everything we bring to our interactions inside and outside the classsroom. When we use Clarifying Conversations, we deconstruct whiteness. What all should 3-to-5-year-olds be taught?
Per the program: Encourage the children to question social, scientific, and historical facts. We want children to question whether information is true. That reminds me of the old adage, “The best person to question science and history is a 3-year-old.”
Additionally, according to plan, academics should “provide challenging instruction that encourages children to question what they see around them, including issues of power and control.”So much for teaching kids to mind.Furthermore: Talk with children about their identities. It would seem that very small children with disabilities have enough on their plate.Yet, government authorities must know best. Hopefully, we’ll […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
