What the teachers unions are teaching your kid's teachers

This is what will end up in the classroom.

If you value my work, please consider a $5/month or $50/year subscription. I’m funded entirely by you.

I will be raising subscription prices to $8/month or $80/year at the end of July, but if you join now, you’ll be grandfathered into current pricing.

If you can’t financially support my efforts, please consider sharing my work with your friends and family to spread the message. I can’t do it without you.

If you want to give a preview of what your children will be taught in public schools, then all you need to do is look at what is being taught in professional development programs for public school teachers. Whatever is taught at these events will make it’s way back into the classroom.

So, I keep a close eye on teacher trainings events and conferences. They are held all over the country, virtually and in person, and usually have enough publicly available information to give us a pretty good sense of what’s happening.

Here’s more information about why these events are our keys to the kingdom to getting ahead of the curve of what’s coming in education:

We actually had a victory last week, when an insane woke teachers training conference out of the University of Colorado School of Education that I had been planning to infiltrate got canceled. I previously covered this conference in a separate article. Here is the email they sent out to all registered attendees:

One can only assume that they felt a bit of trepidation about people seeing their materials. Oh well…a cancelation is just as good as exposing them, in my opinion. It means they won’t be training teachers on nonsense in the first place.

However, there is a large teacher training conference happening this week.

And it’s hosted by the teachers union, Randi Weingarten’s American Federation of Teachers.

AFT TEACH (which stands for Together Education America’s Children) is happening in Washington DC, and promises “an unforgettable experience filled with inspiration and ideas to bring back to the school for the year ahead.”

Let’s see what those teachers will learn, shall we?

Here are just a few of the sessions being presented. These screenshots are directly from the conference’s schedule and are publicly available, but I’ve curated the most important one here for your convenience and for posterity. The sessions are listed in the order in which they will be presented. The additional notes are mine for context, and to explain why these sessions are important to keep an eye on.

Affirming LGBTQIA+ Identities in and out of the Classroom

They’re teaching teachers how to groom students to believe they are queer.

How to Create Student-Led Classrooms to Promote Student Achievement

Anytime you see anything about students leading the classroom or leading the teachers, that’s Paulo Freire’s work, which is critical pedagogy, which is critical theory applied to classroom teaching, which is Marxism.

Individual and Collective Identity

This is about teaching students to embrace collectivism and to see the world in terms of groups of people based on their immutable characteristics like race.

Strategies for Integrating Climate Change into Your Teaching

They’re teaching teachers to integrate climate change into all of their classrooms (not just science), and are giving them the tools to do it that are probably not in your school district’s approved curriculum.

The Pedagogy of Educational Equity: Strategies to Interrupt Unconscious Bias in the Classroom

Anytime you hear the word equity, think Marxism. This session is grounded in critical race theory.

Cultural Appropriation: Yikes! I Didn't Realize

Get ready for an epic land blessing at teh dinner table! They’re teaching your kid’s teachers how to teach cultural appropriation in the classroom.

Take Back Your Profession: Elevating Educator Voice in Education Policy

They’re training teachers to be activists

The Efficacy Effect

Culturally responsive pedagogy is code for critical race theory. Also, remember that anytime you see the word “collective” in this context, think Marxism.

Using Teachable Moments to Create Welcoming Classrooms

More grooming your kids to be queer.

Culturally Responsive Resources: Curating a Diverse Classroom Library

Again, culturally responsive pedagogy is code for critical race theory.

Equity and Access: How to Make Tier 1 Curriculum Accessible to Multilingual Learners

I’m showing you this one for a different reason than the others: I don’t necessarily think this one is bad. However, this is an example of a session title that uses equity (which is code for Marxism) when in fact they mean equality.

You always have to read for context. Making sure materials are accessible for all students is not equity as the woke left define it. However, because the woke left uses language as a weapon against people, many do not realize the difference in those terms.

Always make sure you’re reading things instead of jumping to conclusions when you see a key word. It just takes a few moments to assess the intent of the author.

Recognizing and Dismantling Disinformation with Secondary Students

They’re teaching teachers to teach their students that any information they don’t like is disinformation and false.

Shaping Academic Minds Through Identity-Affirming Practices

More grooming kids to think they’re queer.

Transforming Your Teacher Identity: Know Yourself to Know Your Students

This is critical race theory.

Youth Justice in Practice: Moving from Restorative Circles to Restorative Systems

Restorative justice means struggle session. There can be some ways in which restorative justice can be used productively, but generally, it’s a sign of a far-left collectivist ideology.

The TGNCNB Inclusive School and Classroom

Oh look, more grooming kids to be queer.

Every Day Is a Civics Lesson These Days

Randi Weingarten, the head of the teacher’s union, is teaching teachers how to lie to parents about what they are teaching their kids so they can cover up that they’re teaching critical race theory in K-12 schools.

Action Civics in the Elementary Classroom

Action civics means they’re teaching your kids to be activists. And they’re doing it in elementary school.

Help Students Understand and Process Cultural Diversity Through Student Texts

More critical race theory.

Movie Magic: Using Movies to Teach SEL

Social emotional learning is teachers practicing psychology on your kids without a license. It’s also the delivery mechanism for queer marxism in schools.

Student-Centered Strategies for Successful Inclusion

Again, this is social emotional learning, which is teachers practicing psychology on your kids without a license.
