Several years ago, Joshua Lawson provided a list of books that should be must-reads for anyone who feels surrounded by leftist ideology — which means all of us. True history is not being taught in schools, and foundational American values are often dismissed as irrelevant in our modern culture.

The indoctrination of “action civics” is coming to states who receive grants from the Educating for American Democracy (EAD) national initiative, Civics will no longer focus on mundane things such as the Constitution and how government works but on “systemic injustices” and raising an “anti-oppressive” citizenry.

It is usually helpful to stop in the middle of chaos and ask, “What in the world has led to this upheaval?” and “How could we have missed the signs?” Virginia Allen’s interview with veteran syndicated columnist Cal Thomas about his new book, A Watchman in the Night: What I’ve Seen Over 50 Years Reporting on America, is a good place to start.

The past few years have seen an ever-increasing effort to rewrite American history according to the social justice ideology of “presentism.” This approach asserts that history should not be viewed according to what was happening at the time of the event or movement but instead through a prism of current-day issues of race, gender, sexuality, and nationalism.

America needs new social studies standards, to teach our children America’s history and ideals. If education reformers don’t act now, woke social studies standards will teach a slanderous caricature of our history that prepares students to work to replace our republic with an illiberal regime.

Children’s book sections in mainstream bookstores highlight hardly any conservative heroes. Major publishing companies will not print these books, so children are not exposed to such role models as Thomas Sowell and Margaret Thatcher.

It is hard not to have whiplash from trying to follow the constantly changing media versions of what is included in school curricula today. The first response to parents’ and taxpayers’ concerns about Critical Race Theory was that it is not really being taught – silly us. Now the assertion is that those in charge (teachers’ unions and the Biden Department of Education) are simply trying to promote the teaching of “honest” history. Wrong again.

Many anti-American school curriculum efforts are sneaked in under the cover of darkness, but citizens actually have an opportunity to speak out in a formal way against a current proposal. The time limit is short (May 19), but it can be done with a few quick keystrokes.

The Civics Secures Democracy Act or S. 879 is aimed at supporting non-political civics education. But Biden’s new rule will surely direct the funds to pay for CRT and the subsequent indoctrination of our youth. Please ask Representative Cole (R-OK) to remove his name as co-sponsor of S. 879.

Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, describes it as “the greatest education battle of our lifetimes.” This is no exaggeration as more details are coming out about proposed federal legislation that seeks to bring “Action Civics” to a school near you.

The Educating for Democracy Act (EDA) is an alarming piece of legislation in the U.S. Congress that unfortunately has support from naïve Republicans. At a price tag of $1 billion annually to taxpayers, the EDA promotes “Action Civics” as a new curriculum whose sole purpose is to turn young people into political activists.

President Biden is especially letting down military women, who will be ordered to share their private facilities with biological males who claim to be transgender. Directives issued during the Obama/Biden Administration, such as the 2016 “Military Transgender Policy Implementation Handbook,” brushed off concerns about personal discomfort or worse. Women, said the guidebook, will just have to “get used to it.”

Critical Race Theory, or “Critical Theory,” has been visibly at the forefront of leftist indoctrination in the United States for the past decade. Originating in Germany in the 1930s, Critical Theory was primarily limited to the halls of academia in this country until it morphed into Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the 1970s. Since then, it has made its way into colleges and universities, federal agencies, and public schools.

The history we teach our children cannot solve all of our problems, nor should we expect it to. But it can provide a factual foundation for discussing current challenges and seeking solutions, while educating a new generation about America’s remarkable heritage and what brings us together as one people. Unfortunately, all too often, that is not the type of history we are providing our students.

I generally assume positive intent, but that approach is being pushed to its limits by the advancement of the New York Times’ 1619 Project in schools. I cannot understand the goal of a growing number of school districts — those charged with administering curricula to thousands of schools — agreeing to use the 1619 Project as part of their history lessons.
