State\nlegislators and then-Gov. Jerry Brown should have known that they were lighting\nthe fuse of a political time bomb three years ago when they ordered up a \u201cmodel\ncurriculum in ethnic studies\u201d for high school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nbomb is now exploding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state Department of Education has released a 303-page draft<\/a> of undecipherable educational jargon and left-wing rhetoric, advocating the indoctrination of teenagers into believing that everyone who isn\u2019t white and male is an oppressed victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\nthrust is quite evident in the draft\u2019s description of its intention, to wit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt its core, the field of ethnic studies is the interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with an emphasis on experiences of people of color in the United States,\u201d adding, \u201cThe field critically grapples with the various power structures and forms of oppression, including, but not limited to, white supremacy, race and racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia, that continue to impact the social, emotional, cultural, economic, and political experiences of Native People(s) and people of color.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In critiquing \u201csystems of power,\u201d it advises, \u201cThese are structures that have the\ncapacity to control circumstances within economic, political, and\/or\nsocial-cultural contexts. These systems are often controlled by those in power\nand go on to determine how society is organized and functions,\u201d adding, \u201csome examples of systems of power are: white supremacy,\ncapitalism, and patriarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft reiterates\nthese themes group-by-group, advising teachers on how best to inculcate their\nimpressionable students, and includes direct political propagandizing, such as\nciting President Donald Trump\u2019s policies as examples of subjugation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the draft was\nreleased for public comment, criticism emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The generally liberal Los Angeles Times editorial<\/a> page, for instance, concluded, \u201cThough the draft\u2026offers many interesting ideas, it is in bad need of an overhaul. The final curriculum should emphasize the deep, disturbing and complex facts of racial and ethnic history, respecting differences of opinion, and encouraging open discussion on an often difficult subject.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the sharpest dissent is coming from the\nLegislature\u2019s Jewish caucus, all Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a July 29 letter to state education officials, the caucus took umbrage about the draft\u2019s section on \u201cIslamophobia,\u201d saying, \u201cwe cannot support a curriculum that erases the American Jewish experience, fails to discuss anti-semitism, reinforces negative stereotypes about Jews, singles out Israel for criticism and would institutionalize the teaching of anti-semitic stereotypes in our public schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All members of the Jewish caucus then in the Legislature voted for the 2016 bill<\/a> requiring development of the ethnic studies curriculum. In fact, the votes for the bill were overwhelming and bipartisan, 60-13 in the Assembly and 32-5 in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nthe time, there was little controversy. Its author, then-Assemblyman Luis Alejo,\ndescribed it as aimed at making high school social studies more accurate and \u201can\nintegral part of cultivating a classroom environment that is accepting of\ndiverse cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethnicity\nis a huge part of the nation\u2019s history and should be embedded in history and\ncivics courses, including its darkest aspects, such as slavery, segregation, lynchings\nand the genocidal campaigns to erase native populations in California and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it must be presented in context of America\u2019s largely successful experiment in offering opportunity and freedom to immigrants from everywhere \u2013 one that still attracts those willing to undergo hardship and danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nthis point, the \u201cmodel curriculum\u201d is only a draft and must be approved by the\nstate school board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current law does not require, local school systems to adopt it, but the Assembly \u2013 without knowing what the model curriculum would contain \u2013 voted in May to make its use mandatory and a requirement for high school graduation. The bill, Assembly Bill 331<\/a>, is now pending in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until,\nand unless, it is made more contextually accurate, that would be a huge mistake.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
