Today we received the below message from the head of our charter school system in California. In January, we had received a similar email regarding the "Capitol Riots." Rather than providing evidence-based communications, with a neutral tone to encourage inclusivity for all students and their families, the school continues to deliver inaccurate, misleading, and racially biased communications to support the DS narrative. It would seem, Hussein kicked this off this morning in his tweet to push the Asian hate crime/gun control agenda. My kids have had to deal with anti-caucasian bias and hate for many years, and suffer through convoluted teacher perspectives that are pushed to the students. For the most part, we've had to just "suck it up" and accept the teachers are sheep, rather than face backlash. (I know, nothing new here. But, just reiterating the daily bias kids have to endure.) And, BTW, pay no mind to the current environment which is endangering the immediate safety of our children, such as illegals crossing the border at record numbers, the homeless population which is out of control, and the hotbed of human trafficking in San Diego/SoCal.
My question for GAW: That said, I am curious if the "Asian hate" narrative was pushed at a "grassroots" level to families across the country. As the MSM and DS spokespersons deliver canned, contrived talking points, does the same hold true for the propaganda in blue state schools?
Here's the sheep-mail:
Dear [Insert school here] Community,
I write to you today more determined than ever to ensure that we interrupt racism everywhere it is happening.
Tuesday night in Atlanta, a gunman murdered eight people, most of whom were Asian women. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated event. It’s part of a larger trend of increasing violence against our Asian brothers and sisters and connected to the racist violence against the BIPOC community.
I want our Asian American and Pacific Islander staff, students, and families to know: I am with you, we are with you, you are not alone, and you have the love and support of your [school] Family!
I’ve shared the following resources with staff to support them in leading conversations, building awareness, and increasing our capacity to become the diverse, equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist learning community we aspire to be:
Addressing Anti-Asian Bias (Learning for Justice) Community Resources (California Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus) Guide to Creating Healing Dialogue Space (San Diego County Office of Education) Resources for AAPI Communities (Pacific Arts Movement) Resources for Teaching About Race and Racism (The New York Times) I also wanted to share with you some tips for facilitating conversations about race with your student. The suggestions below, shared by [name] were adapted from Embrace Race and the American Psychological Association.
[I will spare you the rest of the letter, but you get the idea.]
Exactly! "So what are they trying to get ahead of?" Watching this closely.

Edit: HOME. SCHOOL. Do not send your kids into battles before they're properly armed, where they have to pretend, dissemble and outright lie just to get by, tarnishing their self-esteem and wiring their growing brains for dishonesty. It is NOT easy to home school, but besides nurturing and honing their abilities to remain independent and to think critically, they can pursue subjects and avenues of thought that have been eliminated from schools (as well as practical things like home ec, shop, etc) - but most importantly, you are preserving their souls. Even charter schools, religious schools have become indoctrination centers.
Why do you put up with it? It's your own fault for tolerating it. We dealt with a similar thing in our district, to the point where the principal told me if I didn't like how things were going we could leave. I told him to fuck off and pulled our kids from the district. $100k later, best decision we ever made. I worked two jobs, my husband worked and we went without a lot of things we obviously didn't need. So don't cry to people like me about what going on in your schools if your just going to year after year put up with it.
So, that was a little hateful. We actually don't tolerate it and quite simply, there is no sense in battling the teachers who have been brainwashed and which would result in a complete waste of time. I created this post to (1) see if there is a trend occurring with coordinate communications more broadly across the education system; and (2) to gather any additional insights that will be helpful to bring the hammer down on these clowns in an effort to benefit everyone involved. Based on the info in your comment, it sounds like your decisions negatively impacted your financial situation while making things easy for the school district by getting rid of the problem for them. So good for you!
Not hateful, just honest. Stating a fact that I myself have gone through the same thing with our children and what we did to save them from the system that doesn't care about them. If you're offended, sorry. The truth hurts sometimes. The sooner parents realize that the system doesn't care about your children and they are there for system to consume, the better it will be. We can always make more money, I may not have been able to save my boys. The school system may fave gotten out property tax dollars, but lost out on state/fed money. So that's a good thing.
We're okay. We're just months away from being done with California K-12 for good. I've always been more upset for all of the families that don't know better. I kind of feel since I have the capability and capacity to do something, I need to advocate for the other families.
