Reason 216,692 I'm Glad Left...

Mass. district’s new curriculum shifts balance ‘away from the individual and towards the social whole’

While many school districts slyly implement far-left social justice reforms behind closed doors, others are flying the red flag proudly.

The Amherst-Pelham Regional School District, which recently subjected middle school students to a social justice assembly that left children sobbing and traumatized, penned a 63 page document in 2008 detailing their intent to socially transform America, via your children.

Can't you just envision the teachers, sitting around in the teacher's lounge, congratulating each other over their Che T-shirts, thinking they're the most multi-culti district in the Commonwealth? I'm sure they all went to a lumberyard and cried about trees later, then retired to a trendy coffee shop, where they complained bitterly about the baristas making "a living wage", yet left no tip.

I'm sure they try their level-best to ensure that all sorts of diversity is taught in their classrooms - except diversity of thought, no doubt. I'll bet if you asked them, each one thinks - no, is certain - they are doing a Great Social Good. I wonder if anyone ever asks them how the children do compared to the national average.

Then again, who cares about education when there's social indoctrination to be had?

That is all.
