Mind Blowing Evanston IL District 65 Curriculum

Starting on January 31, the schools in Evanston, IL will be teaching a Black Lives Matter (BLM) curriculum in all schools (K-8). The district is 22.4% black. You may wonder why this impacts anyone but Evanston taxpayers. Most schools in the district are Title I schools. That means they receive federal funding. If you are an Illinois resident, the state funds a portion of the operating budget for D65.

I'm linking to some literature that was given to teachers at their last meeting. It will blow your mind.

One of the things that stood out to me was the conclusion that schools were set up to be biased against blacks. That is essentially stipulated in the lessons. There is also a book that is part of the reading list that is entitled "Woke Baby." It describes a baby (who is cutely illustrated, I'll give them that) that makes Black Panther fists in his crib. One of the narratives is that the baby takes what's his. It's obvious that the baby is a metaphor for black culture and "wokeness."

Here is the schedule:

1/31: What is BLM Week? Social Justice Standard 12: Students will recognize unfairness on the individual level (e.g., biased speech) and injustice at the institutional or systemic level (e.g., discrimination).

2/3: Restorative Justice, Empathy, & Loving Engagement. Social Justice Standard 13: Students will analyze the harmful impact of bias and injustice in the world, historically and today. Social Justice Action 16: Students will express empathy when people are excluded or mistreated because of their identities and concern when they themselves experience bias.

2/4: Diversity and Globalism. Social Justice Diversity 7. Students will develop language and knowledge to accurately and respectfully describe how people (including themselves) are both similar to and different from each other and others in their identity groups.

2/5: Queer, Trans-Affirming, and Collective Value. Social Justice Identity 5. I see that the way my family and I do things is both the same as and different from how other people do things, and I am interested in both.

2/6: Intergenerational, Black families, and Black Villages. Social Justice Action 20. Students will plan and carry out collective action against bias and injustice in the world and will evaluate what strategies are most effective.

2/7: Black Women and Unapologetically Black. Social Justice 15. Students will identify figures, groups, events, and a variety of strategies and philosophies relevant to the history of social justice around the world.
