Happy Black History Month. Your kindergartner might be getting handed woke worksheets about “disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure!”
Yes, in some classrooms, things are a bit different than the old days when we’d learn about the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X. Now, kids from coast to coast will be taking part in the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, which teaches kids from kindergarten to high school from the “13 guiding principles of the BLM movement.”
Despite the fact the phrase “Black Lives Matter” has vague connotations and general acceptance, the Black Lives Matter activist framework is a different thing entirely. (This is something we’ve noted frequently here at The Western Journal — and we’ll continue to bring readers the truth about the Black Lives Matter movement. You can help us by subscribing.)
The activist framework is based around the 13 guiding principles, many of which are openly Marxist in origin. Some are just activist buzzwords: “Diversity,” “Empathy,” “Globalism.” Others are more divisive in nature: “Queer Affirming,” “Trans Affirming,” “Restorative Justice.”
And then there’s the most problematic: No. 11, “Black Villages.” Sounds harmless enough until you get to the part about “disruption of the Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other.”
Those 13 points were set to be taught to students between Jan. 31 and Feb. 4, according to a “starter kit” one can find at the Black Lives Matter at School website. (Thursday is when kids were supposed to be learning about dismantling that pesky “Western-prescribed nuclear family structure,” if you were curious.)
The “starter kit” also noted this year’s Black Lives Matter at School program would focus on four things: ending zero-tolerance discipline, hiring more black teachers, mandating black history and ethnic studies in the curriculum for all grades and funding “counselors not cops.”
That’s probably difficult to teach to the young’uns, so Laleña Garcia — a New York City kindergarten teacher and the author of a children’s book about the 13 principles, according to National Review — offers some “age-appropriate language so that our students or children can grasp the concepts” in the starter kit.
On restorative justice: “We know that if you knock down someone’s block building, you have to help them rebuild it, you can’t just say, ‘Sorry,’ and walk away. Another way to say that is restorative justice, and it’s the idea that we have to help people when something happens to them, even if it was by accident.”
In other words, the concepts of equity and reparations have been put into reductionist appeals to emotion so they can be pitched to your first-grader. Nice work.
On transgender affirmation: “Everybody has the right to choose their own gender by listening to their own heart and mind. Everyone gets to choose if they are a girl or a boy or both or neither or something else, and no one else gets to choose for them.” Because kids getting this pitch are too young for biology class, apparently.
And that nettlesome “black villages” point? “There are lots of different kinds of families; what makes a family is that it’s people who take care of each other; those people might be related, or maybe they choose to be family together and to take care of each other. Sometimes, when it’s lots of families together, it can be called a village.”
Well, that’s burying the lede. One almost wishes she would have gone Seussian: “I will disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure after school / I will disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure because it’s cool / I will disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure because it’s trendy / And then I’ll go read some Ibram X. Kendi.”
Conservative nonprofit Parents Defending Education reported in a Thursday news release that schools in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin were confirmed to be participants in the program.
At Scott Middle School in Hammond, Indiana, there was a BLM at School Week coloring contest, for instance:
It brought us such joy to see so many students and classrooms coming down to pick up coloring and journaling sheets 🙌🏽@SMSHammond @SCHK12 @ARodriguezJ5 @CounselorDudzik @Eclipse_22 #BLMatSchool #scchat #antiracistSC #BlackHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/akhLpg3nSa

The school said “all participants will receive a prize!” Not sure if that counts as a participation trophy or “restorative justice” for lousy artists, but there you go.
Speaking of prizes, Centennial Elementary School in Denver receives the coveted Western Journal “Staying on Brand” award for February. The school’s kindergarten and first-grade teams expressed their excitement about participating in Black Lives Matter at School Week, according to Parents Defending Education. If that name sounds familiar, you may remember the folks there for this memorable sign:
Friday, we filed an Office for Civil Rights complaint against Centennial Elementary School in Denver for discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in programs or activities.

Disrupt the Western-Prescribed Nuclear Family Structure Playground Night is scheduled for Feb. 30, 5 p.m.
In Boston, meanwhile, a leaked document from the Boston Teachers Union says they’ve “compiled a list of movies for each grade band that we’ve matched to the 13 guiding principles of the BLM movement” with an essay contest on the principles paired to each movie. The films range from “The Princess and the Frog” for young students all the way to “Judas and the Black Messiah” — a hagiography of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton — for older high-schoolers.
There’s a massive difference between #BlackLivesMater and the Black Lives Matter activist framework — and parents need to be aware the latter is poisonous, divisive and it is working its way into our schools
This isn’t about blacking out your Facebook profile after George Floyd’s death to “center voices of color,” nor is it about showing up for a protest or buying “White Fragility” from a black-owned bookstore. It has nothing to do with the tautological three-word throwaway phrase “Black Lives Matter.” This is an activist movement with real designs on indoctrinating your kids in a 13-point agenda marinated in Marxist ideology.
And make no mistake: Their efforts are working. Black Lives Matter at School has been endorsed by the National Education Association and teachers’ unions in some of America’s biggest cities, including Chicago, New York City and Seattle. If you think that’s where it stops, think again.
I wonder how these people plan to deal with children like me? I don’t like humans and I never have. I was ignored and bullied throughout school (the bullying is NOT why I don’t like humans). So what to do with children like me, who don’t want any part of you in any way? ‘Traditionally’ you’d just completely ignore us, and pretend we don’t exist. You can’t do that if we’re all pretending to give a damn.
Many of the college educated White liberals working in the education system, made racist comments or had racist thoughts in their past (perhaps mild) about Blacks; due to their guilt they’ll do anything to convince themselves and others they’re not a racist, including promoting, at schools, the absurd BLM propaganda and the “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” propaganda which uses some of the absurdities from Critical Race Theory, but the phrase doesn’t upset White parents as much as Critical Race Theory, it’s a deceptive phrase.
Thanks elite Jewish controlled media! Sigh.
They’re brainwashing kids throughout the country. Whites kids might volunteer to serve as slaves to Blacks after they graduate from high school at lease as butlers and maids for fried chicken and watermelon.
ALL OPPRESSORS ONLY CREATE +
MULTIPLY AGGRESSION + OPPRESSION !
they are psychic sick + should be isolated +
from humanity : ALL POWERHUNGRY IDIOTS !
I saw them already in childhood . they start to
be sick very early, maybe by a mental virus
of their parents .
@ BRIAN USA
this spine broken white liberal white
teachers will have to make all kinds
of brain kneadings gymnastics . think
they will not sleep well . leftism is a
communist jewish virus, dangerous
like pfizer,moderna,astrazeneca etc.
The Apes are inside the gates, & they’re not going anywhere…BLM (Bureau of Land Monkeys) is just another Jewish-Communist created/directed ‘Simian Rights’ organization, designed to further niggerize & disintegrate Caucasian civilization into a simian-mongrel sewage pit…
But hey, that’s what millions of white gentile Communist-Christian Allied morons defeated Nazi Germany for: Nonwhite Supremacy. Cause & effect. Might makes right. White Supremacy or Nonwhite Supremacy–take your pick.
Sweet weepin’ Jesus on the Cross…what in the actual f*ck? “Disruption” of the “western family structure” makes sense to me since having broken homes and so many fatherless offspring has been working out so well for black Americans. I mean we all know blacks have been model citizens and ideal neighbors, right? Don’t pay any attention to the fact that blacks are over 700% more likely to commit murder and 800% more likely to commit other crimes of violence than whites. It’s that dastardly Western family structure of values, stability and positive role models to blame, right?
Whomever was responsible in any and all of those school districts for introducing and/or advocating such derangement and demonically subversive tripe be force-fed to children deserve to be laughed out of the room at best or, much more suitably, their tongues cut out as door mats at a homeless shelter and their hand chopped off and made into medallions they should then be forced to wear as necklaces. I’m looking at YOU, Counselor McNelley, and your ilk, you deranged degenerate pig-f*ckers.
Piss poor impulse control, faulty future orientation, substandard intellects, dreadfully warped values, a propensity for shockingly senseless violence and destruction at the drop of a hat, all consistently demonstrated over thousands of years…in a sane society, those characteristics would be seen as the crippling cultural and racial deficiencies they actually are and such savages would be excluded from civilized society rather than be celebrated and rewarded as is happening in this world of satanic inversion. The Jew and the negro are very similar in they are forces for degradation and destruction and the world would be much better off with them forced to live on their own with no contact allowed with the world around them.
“Woke” is political correctness on steroids, and political correctness is a malignant cancer, deranged subversion, and sniveling cowardice. Political correctness is the enemy of truth and the enemy of freedom.
I can only guess that the idea is that if you force all the people to actually interact with each other they won’t attack each other. I can’t imagine it working, can you? If you don’t like someone, or their culture, or their religion, or whatever, forcing them together won’t fix that. If you want peace in some place, move the minority elsewhere, then both are happy.
I worked on a huge accountancy conference in the City of London just before Christmas. Size of the international audience at their various offices was over 20,000 people. They were one of the big accountancy firms.
The whole thing was to tell everyone that from now on, all business must be ‘compliant’ with the new mantras of diversity and decarbonisation.
Big business is behind all this crap described above. The other thing they were confident of arriving is digital currency.
The Beast System is here.
“The collectivist village that takes care of each other”–on what planet? On this one a certain sector preys on all the other people and need policing harshly.
