Conservatives are blasting public school curriculum in Ames, Iowa, for its controversial content extoling the principles that guide the Black Lives Matter movement.
This week, the Ames Community School District rolled out a “Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action.” A post on the district’s website directs teachers to employ lessons and activities “to affirm all Black identities by centering Black voices, empowering student, and teaching about Black experiences beyond slavery.” Included in the curriculum for students K-12 are topics involving “queer affirming,” “transgender affirming,” “globalism” and “disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics.”
Young America’s Foundation was among the first organizations to detail the information. Joy Pullman, executive editor of The Federalist, also wrote an article about the materials.
“A lot of things don’t add up, but I looked at some of the demographics of the town,” Pullman told the “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” program on Tuesday. “One of the things I noticed is that for one thing there is a dramatically higher marriage rate among the children in these public schools in this city than there is among American kids in general … and it’s also majority white school district.”
Ken Blackwell, senior fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance at Family Research Council, had big concerns about the nuclear family situation.
“Let’s just start 244 years ago, when there still was the institution of slavery,” Blackwell told the “Washington Watch” program. “One of the things that helped move the black community forward was a great sense of family. For example, in the 1950s and early 1960s, black intact families were running parallel with white intact families.”
Last year, Black Lives Matter made headlines for having information on its website (that has since been removed after criticism) that disparaged the “Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” Blackwell says Black Lives Matter and other radical groups that have Marxist leanings are talking about the irrelevance of the family because they follow a statist model as opposed to the family being the “incubator of liberty.”
“And the way that young people are brought into the culture, they are talking about expanded roles of the state and the destruction of the family,” Blackwell continued. “So, it’s really crazy that the left now in all of their curriculum are talking about focusing on the family at a time when the forces within their community and their movement are taking about the destruction of the family or the irrelevance of the family.”

Blm, founded by three marxists: “K-12 are topics involving “queer affirming,” “transgender affirming,” “globalism” and “disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics.” Hey, blm, what has happened to the inner cities, with the destruction of the “nuclear family”? The destruction of the “nuclear family”, produced thugs, criminals and communists like you, blm, didn’t it blm? Blm, how has “globalism” worked out for the American family, including people of “color”. Oh, it has resulted in the loss of jobs for Americans, including people of “color”, in the United States. How have transgenders worked out for women in track and field? A loss of scholarships for women. Blm and their communist New World Order, a total disgrace and traitors to our way of life, in the United States. It is a disgrace that this “garbage / toxic waste / cancer is being taught in our schools.
All this is to provide “equity”.
It is much simpler to reduce ones position to a lower level than it is to raise all others up.
Understand though, the architects of these model are forever insulated to the lowering of their own position.
Equality in SUFFERING…
When did the nuclear family suddenly become a ‘Western’ (read white) construct? From the beginning of time the family has been the one unit that has survived and made survival possible. Even in the animal kingdom within herds their are families that stick together. Elephants, apes, and other show definite family affiliation so it is the natural state of affairs. These are the very ideas that Nazis used to create their further their super race, children are the province of the state. Communnism had similar programs that were not as well noted. The Democrats’ Great Society destroyed the black nuclear family, now they’re coming after all families!
Don’t criticize the Left using Science. The proclaim to believe and follow it, but as your comment very well puts it, they deny it at practically every turn.
Even when THEY ARE the ones pushing “Follow the science”..
Black Lives Matter?? To Whom??
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a) Black males make up about 8% of the U.S. population but commit 53% of all the murders and 55% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year there are ~6,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 94% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
” Black Liv“Yusra Khogali, leader of the “anti-racist” Black Lives Matter movement,
does not hide ……her hatred of white people….. in her comments on social media.
“Yusra Khogali, a Black Lives Matter leader, recently wrote that “white people are a genetic defect of blackness,” and that “whiteness is not humanness.
In fact, white skin is sub-human.”
“Judge not by the color of one”s skin, but by the contents of their character”.
OK. We see the contents of Democrat’s character.
LBJ designed his welfare programs to destroy the Black family. He has succeeded.
Decency and morality is dead in the democratic party and that is exactly what the politicians are counting on from their constituents.
Is Ames, IA noted for its Amish population, or am I mistaken? Ames is the location of the University – that tells me that is the more likely explanation for such thinking, and support for BLM. Iowa is chock full of black folks, ya know.
IF IT can be done there, it can be done anywhere.
…and this is happening in mainstream, salt of the earth, breadbasket, heart-of-America Iowa—nuclear-family central, for Chrissake.
Any degree of success engenders the next step. The progression of subverting classrooms to places of indoctrination have emboldened its purveyors to the extent that they no longer find it necessary to mask their intentions, particularly when the “fourth estate” (MSM) is riding shotgun.
They have been trying (and succeeding) to do this for yearsl Literally! And it started as far back as the mid-70’s.
take you kids out of public indoctrination centers a k a schools.
AND for the love of all sane and good things, ITS HIGH time we eliminated public sector unions, ESPECIALLY teacher unions!
Remember Farrakhan once referred to our Jewish friends as “termites”? Pretty easy to see who the REAL termites are these days – BLM and their anarchist allies are gnawing away at the foundations of our great nation. Hope someone grows a pair and puts a stop to this soon, before it’s too late!
AND whom do you think that would be?? The GOP, showed during all last year, THEY have none. The dems have LONG SINCE shown they have no desire to punish/stop antifa. The Dept of injustice, is a joke.
