I couldn’t help myself, I looked up “critical literacy.” The definition comes from the very same organization’s website ncte.org.
“Critical literacy is a way of being and doing that involves questioning texts, practices, and social systems from diverse perspectives and taking action for social justice.”
Yep, it’s CRT for English teachers, and it’s 9 times more important than phonics.
Even English teachers are taught to get into the personal space of students so they can “advocate,” which is 139 times more important than phonics.
By “advocate” they mean “find the trauma.” “Trauma Informed Education” is the culmination of the belief that every child has hidden trauma which is reflected in their behavior and academic performance. Educators are challenged to dig for it with mental health “check-ins” and probing questions.
Another part of “advocating” for students is the Social Emotional Learning embedded in everything from Social Studies to Math class. “Transformational SEL” is an immersion into the pedagogy of queer theory and critical race theory. It also ensures that students will take a “mental health break” several times a day to focus on whether they are “anxious and depressed” or “contemplating suicide” yet. Even the most resilient student will eventually have a bad day, where they will finally admit they need the ultimate prize: a trip to the counselor.
School counselors via the ASCA (American School Counselor Associaton) are being trained to “identify” troubled children and find the hidden transgender child in each of them. Their training seminars promote lessons on hiding intimate conversations with students from the family. source
Pervasive among all of these professional organizations, and the training they provide, is the assumption that the parent will be “abusive,” i.e. “not on board with the program,” and they must be cut out of the picture.
SEL surveys direct students to rely on the experts. “If you feel uncomfortable or concerned, talk to someone about your feelings, talk to your school’s counselor, your teacher, or another trusted adult.” No mention of one’s parents, friends, family, or clergy. But increasingly, students are directed to hotlines or online counseling services, again often without parental knowledge. One of the favorite options, “The Trevor Project” is a digital highway to adults with sexual fetishes eager to “partner” with the youth.
These online services provided by humans may soon by obsolete, as schools can out-source mind control to robots. Mental health counseling via chat-bot, using artificial intelligence, is arriving now. That isn’t science fiction, it is already here.
Not to be left out, the school librarians promote “banned book week” to make sure that each student is exposed to the sexually explicit material and cultural Marxism that parents would object to if they knew about it. The librarians are in thrall to the American Library Association headed by a proud Marxist lesbian.
Drabinski has recently been writing for Truthout about library labor organizers, fights against book bans, and how progressive library boards can block right-wing censorship and support the LGBTQIA+ community.
Finding ways to introduce school porn, and stiff-arming horrified parents, seems to be a point of pride among modern school librarians.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education is based upon the premise that children are sexual creatures from birth, and should be taught how to achieve sexual gratification. By the school. It is touted as a roadmap to “social change” by its own advocates. It is heavy into queer theory, critical race theory and transgenderism. It introduces puberty blockers in 4th grade. Whether or not the school uses the official CSE curriculum, the same concepts are embedded into Social Emotional Learning which is in EVERY public school, (despite SEL not being required in the state of Nebraska).
These themes are also embedded in subject curricula-such as anything from Amplify-science, math or language arts. There is no escaping it.
Every teacher, every counselor, every librarian, every social worker, every administrator is being groomed to groom the students: ideologically, emotionally and sexually.
An adult discussing sex acts or sexual pleasure with a minor is illegal in any other setting but school. In a functioning society it would involve fathers with weapons.
Interacting with youth in a way that requires them to keep secrets from their loved ones is the very definition of grooming.
Now, please take the time to read this entire article, because once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It is worth your time.
Some excerpts for those who are not able to read the above article:
He’s assigned an investigator to “handle all my internet grooming” by monitoring, full-time, social media sites where teachers are known to search for children. “She’s on Snapchat, FourSquare, TikTok, Kik…you name it.”
He’s up to 11 investigators now. Each one with caseloads of 33—79 teachers. Some sample cases:
An ADE-certified social worker who refused, after warning, to stop taking children off-campus in her car. In one incident she took a child to a “doctor’s appointment” without “permission slips from parents” - no other details provided publicly.
A male Queen Creek High School employee asks minor girl: “What’s your sexual pleasure,” “How many people have you gotten with,” and “Let me see you stripped (without the bathing suit),” and this one: “Do you want to meet me here (with a devil face emoji).”
You see, something happens to human beings, to teachers, when they are conditioned to look at children not as pupils to be taught reading, math, arithmetic - but to look beyond that - to see the “whole child” to be nurtured and cared for. The total child - all their little social, emotional, and psychological elements, their little life experiences,…all these to be explored, to be understood and affirmed.
But being humans, we are not saints.
Being human, we need boundaries - not just for others, but from ourselves.
What is the point of all this grooming? I can’t say it better than Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector who warned us (ironically) in a 1984 interview. He is describing “Psychological Warfare,” also known as “Ideological Subversion.”
“What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”
Bezmenov described this process as “a great brainwashing” that has four basic stages. The first stage is called “demoralization” which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve. According to the former KGB agent, that is the minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country — in other words, the time it takes to change what the people are thinking.
Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is “destabilization”. During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it.
The third stage would be “crisis.” It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis, explained Bezmenov. The crisis would bring “a violent change of power, structure, and economy” and will be followed by the last stage, “normalization.” That’s when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.
The enemy in this case isn’t really Russia, the way it might have been percieved in 1984. It is our own government, along with their partners; the United Nations, The World Economic Forum, and multiple other globalist NGO’s. The federal Department of Education provides the money conduit and the roadmap. The teacher’s unions and professional organizations carry out the plan.
The destruction of the American culture is the goal. The quickest way to destroy a culture is to demoralize the children. Nothing demoralizes children faster than sexual exploitation. It damages the psyche in ways we can’t fathom.
The constant “mental health check-ins” convince students they could not possibly be normal. It teaches them their feelings are more important than any accomplishment. It destroys their resilience. It leads some of them to mood altering medications or chemical castration/sterilization.
The pervasive critical theory destoys their agency, as they are convinced their destiny is dependent upon identity characteristics they cannot change.
The demonization and dismissiveness of the nuclear family, in favor of “the experts,” is both overtly and subliminally reinforced. Children taught to view their parents as “abusive” and out-of-touch are left adrift, and more easily manipulated. The “cutting off” of family is encouraged by the mental health experts, who convince youth they are “brave” for doing so. There is currently an epidemic of generational familial ties being destroyed in the USA. Fewer and fewer children know their grandparents.
The climate hysteria is not inconsequential. It robs the youth of hope for their future, as they are convinced there won’t be one.
The demoralization and grooming started decades ago, as current teachers, administrators, counselors, social workers and librarians were the earlier victims. Now, they believe they are on the right side of history; that they are helping traumatized students.
They can’t see themselves as the traumatizers. Their brainwashing is complete.
As Yuri said:
Demoralization is a process that is “irreversible.”
“A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. The facts tell nothing to them.” -Yuri Bezmenov
