No, Roe Was Just the Beginning

The End of WOKE?
“Woke” is a shorthand expression that encompasses the radical ideas of the Democrat agenda: critical race theory, diversity-equity-inclusion, “trans” children, elective abortions up to the moment of birth, and the squelching of our speech and ideas.

Ethnic Studies: The New CRT in Sheep’s Clothing
Just when you thought the left could not hijack the language any further (actually, that will never happen), “Ethnic Studies” is the new disguise for Critical Race Theory in the world of education. This stealthy push to encourage even more racial division in schools sounds benign at first glance.

Who is schooling who?
As parents are stocking their shopping carts with pencils, paper, and other classroom items, the cost at the cash register isn’t the biggest thing weighing on their minds. With politics and extreme agendas driving curriculum in public schools, parents are concerned about what their children will face and if they will be able to advocate for their child’s well-being.

Ask Senators to Protect Female Athletes
Title IX was enacted more than fifty years ago to give women and girls equal access to educational opportunities including the ability to compete on their own sports teams.

HOMESCHOOLING: A Creative Alternative to Education
If there were any kind of silver lining to the COVID lockdowns, it is that parents’ eyes were opened about many undesirable things being taught to their children in public schools.

Important Armor Against Brainwashing
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.

It’s Time for a New Kind of Story Hour

Ask Your Senators to Stop Biden’s Bullying

OKLAHOMA: Your Rep Should NOT MIS-Represent U.S. History
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.

Eagle Forum has long been concerned with the rise of regulations and laws compromising the privacy and rights of both young women and girls. Many institutions, like those in higher education, and even some organizations, like the Olympic games, are increasingly bowing to the progressive left’s demands that sexual orientation and gender identity rulemaking be implemented into their existing structures.

There is Hope With Social and Emotional Learning
While most of the news about the Social and Emotional Learning emphasis in public schools has been alarming, Kimberly Ells offers hope. There are a few programs that address these areas of children’s growth in ways that do not promote pluralistic thinking and do not attempt to replace parents and families as the primary sources of children’s values and beliefs.

Social and Emotional Learning and the Global Attack on the Family
Many school districts have latched onto Social and Emotional Learning as a point of pride in their quest to educate “the whole student.” Little do they know that the goal of SEL is to break down the family, sexualize children, and raise students to be proper-thinking servants of the state.

Chinese Crowding Our College Campuses

After spending most of the summer giving President Obama new authority (called fast track) to negotiate trade deals with low-wage countries in Asia, Congressional Republicans are now poised to give Obama new authority over education in America’s public schools. This is a big disappointment for those of us who worked hard to elect a Republican Congress last November. We expected the new Congress to take power back from the president, not give him more.

Common Core is replacing the teaching of traditional American history with a new left-leaning curriculum. Those who say that Common Core doesn’t prescribe curriculum but only spells out standards are playing with words. According to scholar Stanley Kurtz, the traditional emphasis on America’s founders and the principles of constitutional government are being pitched and replaced with what fits the leftwing narrative of emphasis on race, gender, class, and ethnicity.
