School Board Candidate: Academics Less Important Than Ideology

Schools have turned into re-education camps that exist mainly to spread propaganda and raise the next generation of Leftists.

But most Leftists have done their best to spin the DEI/CRT/alphabet ideology is nothing more than an adjunct to academics. Schools have always transmitted values, and this is just a modest shift in emphasis.

Yeah, well, no. Not even close to true in many schools. Jazz wrote an article earlier today about a Minneapolis teacher who advocates for genocide, and I bring you the school board candidate who disdains teaching the basics.

The basic idea, as you can see from the video, is to turn schools into a better version of parents.

Parents may not be down with the cause. Kids, who are getting propaganda shoved down their throats for 6  hours a day, and when they get home the parents might undo the damage. So separate kids from their parents. Create an alternate group of “allies” who can replace parents as the trusted adult.

This is pretty much the definition of grooming, although having sex may more or may not be one of the goals of the groomer. This is also why more alphabet people are pushing kids to essentially divorce from their families.

I went to Dan Olson’s web page to look at what he says in a more scripted manner, and it is more elliptical but no less radical. It’s clear that his vision is for the schools to become one-stop shopping for child indoctrination.

Mental health. The pressures of achievement expectations and current events take their toll on all of us. I’ve personally struggled with depression, needed professional help, and lost a friend to suicide. Life is not easy, and social media – comparing our insides to other people’s outsides – only makes it more difficult. Developing EQ, resilience, and a healthy sense of self and purpose is far more important than developing IQ, so we need to normalize discussion of mental health, and update our Wellness (533) and Health Service (545) policies accordingly.

Belonging. School should be a refuge; a place where students can find friends and community and can see their identities reflected back at them in the personnel, policies, and practices of the district. And that takes daily effort and acknowledgement. Are we doing everything we can to help our kids feel like they belong, both in word and action? Do they have adequate mental health resources?

Schools are not supposed to be a mental health facility, nor a “refuge” (from what?). Even if the idea weren’t so creepy, the idea that teachers could possibly become proxy parents and moral exemplars is ridiculous. You can’t love 30 students, or 300.

Not to mention that many teachers can’t even get the academic side right. I wouldn’t trust the blue-haired harridans I see online to teach addition; imagine them as substitute parents.

Unfortunately, lots of people like Dan have infiltrated the schools and the school boards. You see it every day, especially regarding the “porn in school” controversies. Parents get demonized for wanting their 10-year-olds protected from discussions of sex toys and instruction manuals for sexual deviancy.

The compassionate language hides a dangerous, anti-family ideology. Next week we will find out how many Dan Olsons get elected.
