College Dropouts Mark Zuckerberg, Friend-of-Jeffrey-Epstein Funding Effort to Toxify Public Education and Push Woke Indoctrination on Impressionable Children, Parents Group Says

In the below post, you'll see a lot of about "Social Emotional Learning" or "SEL." This is just another guise of CRT.

Some of the largest philanthropic organizations in the world are funneling millions of dollars into schools to push left-wing education initiatives at the expense of students academics, one parent activist group says.
Parents Defending Education, a grassroots organization helping parents with resources devoted to fighting "indoctrination in the classroom," investigated where five prominent foundations were awarding grants.
Their study called "Cracked Foundations," found these organizations gave over $200 million to 70 school districts across the nation from 2017-2021. The parents group said that students in some of these districts were failing at math and reading, yet grants were being awarded to advance initiatives promoting equitable grading, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Critical Race Theory instead of academics.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Wallace Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Windward Fund were the focus of the study, which analyzed the last four years. All five organizations speak of their commitment to fostering "equity" on their websites.
Through 990 tax filings, publicly available documents and FOIA requests, the group found the most dollars went to the Battle Creek Public Schools in Michigan and Denver Public Schools in Colorado. Eight other districts in Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio and California received ranges from over $1 million to $8 million dollars.
Battle Creek public Schools received over $31 million from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation over the course of four years in grants with a stated goal of "transforming" the schools "to address structural bias and segregation," according to the study.
The Gates Foundation also gave millions to Denver Public Schools' Foundation, the Baltimore City Public Schools' Fund for Educational Excellence, the New York City Department of Education's Fund for Public Schools Inc, and the Tulare County Office of Education "to implement equity-focused programming such as equitable grading," according to the report.

Bob Hughes, director of K-12 education at the Gates Foundation, stated that the foundation planned to "rebuild" public education by "leading with equity," the study quoted him as saying.

I'm sure most of you know this, but "equity" is the opposite of "equality." Equity is the opposite of equal treatment. "Equity" expressly endorses treating people differently in order to engineer equal outcomes by giving special advantages to some and special disadvantages to others.

"Equity" is a euphemism for "racial discrimination" and "openly hostile treatment of children of some (white, Asian) races."

Besides equitable grading, social and emotional learning was another focus of these foundations' giving.
In one example, Parents Defending Education criticized $9 million from three of the foundations being given to consultants who specialize in social and emotional learning, such as the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
The Gates Foundation describes the learning philosophy as fostering "strong relationships and equitable learning environments attuned to and sustaining of students' identity and cultural context in order to increase postsecondary success."
But the parents group said the teaching philosophy has become another way to implement race and gender ideology.

Last month the Nation's Report Card was released showing math and reading testing scores had dropped significantly in the years schools were shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic for fourth through eighth graders. Reading scores for 9-year-olds dropped to their lowest level in 30 years.
Parents Defending Education President and Founder Nicole Neily said their study shows how school districts continue to ask taxpayers for more money despite low academic standards while pushing progressive political ideas in schools.
"On a regular basis, PDE is asked 'where do these programs come from,' so we decided to investigate. Far from being an organic, bottom-up effort, this is very much a concerted strategy driven by progressive foundations. This is merely the tip of the iceberg -- but at a time when school districts continue to pass nine-figure bonds asking for money, and families are hit up via GoFundMe campaigns for school supplies (not to mention the billions of dollars that were sent to schools via ESSER funding), American taxpayers deserve to know what's taking place behind the schoolhouse gates -- and how these foundation-driven spending priorities have impacted student achievement," she said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

I don't think Bill Gates should be allowed to have anything to do with children until the Epstein books are all opened and we can see he didn't visit Pedo Island.

"Bill Gates has soy tits. I don't listen to men with soy tits."

Whoops, sorry, that was a typo. Garrett said that, not G.K. Chesterton. Though I think it has a kind of timeless wisdom that's as true now as it is now.

There is *some* value to considering SEL in education, as there is a lot more to growing up than just learning facts/knowledge.

Learning how to interact maturely with others to solve problems is pretty darned important.

But as usual, the commie fucktards will use that as a gateway for THEIR materials, wearing SEL as a skinsuit. Just like they always do.

SEL was developed as a tool for developmentally disabled children. As in "does the child respond appropriately to social cues A, B, and C? If not, then X,Y, and Z."

But of course, everything in this country is corrupted in the end.

Take Spelling. Student A gets the word wrong because she forgot to cross her T. Student B gets it right because he got 6 of the 8 letters in the word correct. Student H gets it right because she forgot to write down the silent "e" in the word. Student W gets it wrong because, well, honestly, even though he spelt it correctly including crossing the T and dotting the I, He's White.

What I love most about that is, it's gonna happen anyway: Demographic collapse, as we've fallen below replacement. Even with illegals, these schools will be empty of children in 10-15 years .... and those municipalities are going to be ruthless in raising taxes on any fool stupid enough to stay.

I think when businesspeople get to a certain level of wealth and power, they are enticed to join the "club", so to speak. The club of limitless power, limitless debauchery, and absolutely no rules. As a bonus they get to push people around - the same power that motivates many a TSA goon. The price for this is conformity, and since most of them were raised in a society of limited morality, conforming to the evil is not a problem.

This is why Trump upset the elites so much, and why he had/has to go. Any why no GOP careerist (sorry, DeSantis) will ever clean up the swamp.

This whole "equity, transfer of wealth" moves more American masses money into the palms/pockets of the globalists. If USA is going to continue as superpower, imo, it has to be by choosing "friends of Liberty" and helping them in their regions.

236 Why? Will someone explain to me why billionaires are so woke? Gates and Zuckerberg are charisma deprived nerds.

Woke means destroying the Church, Families and community and making people beholden to government, which is controlled by said billionaires. But the GOP does not see this as a hill to die on.

That was my take, too. I got on perfectly well with everyone, but outside of work, nada. "We're just a big family!" Horseshit. Families don't lay off half of their members to make their numbers.

244 The Republican Party needs to go all in on School Vouchers. Do you think the Teachers Unions will hate you any less if you don't do it?

And push the vouchers in the Urban School Districts. The normal parents know their childrens' school suck and are getting worse.

248 144 "A meeting Friday? Oh, no, sorry can't make that. A very important meeting then."

No effective manager schedules Friday meetings (at least, Friday afternoon meetings) unless there is fire or blood involved.

I schedule user training early afternoon on our "work" Friday because nobody has meetings at that time.

249 79 Why? Will someone explain to me why billionaires are so woke? Gates and Zuckerberg are charisma deprived nerds. They should want to donate to charter schools and STEM to create more math and science nerds, something society desperately needs more of. Are they trying to buy love and admiration from the 'upper class' they rubbed elbows with at Harvard? I don't buy white guilt, they are both too ruthless to have a conscience. Someone, anyone, please help me understand this woke, LBTQ, trans hysteria.
Thank you

Because they're globalists. They have no sense of loyalty to God or country. In fact, undermining the U.S. and our traditional values increases their control. They're oligarchs who want to decimate the middle class, the backbone of this country. Doing so increases their power. And pushing the gay agenda is one way of eroding the family structure.

And the elitist parents play gods to the more normal people and their children.

251 20 All you need to do is make grading more equitable.

Take Spelling. Student A gets the word wrong because she forgot to cross her T. Student B gets it right because he got 6 of the 8 letters in the word correct. Student H gets it right because she forgot to write down the silent "e" in the word. Student W gets it wrong because, well, honestly, even though he spelt it correctly including crossing the T and dotting the I, He's White.

GREAT EXAMPLE. Now Student T gets it wrong because she used an HB pencil made in China, and she is of Chinese descent so it's 'insider trading'.
