The California Board of Education has voted to implement the so-called “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC)”, which is based on the Marxism-derived “Pedagogy of the Oppressed.” How bad is it? It will have students appeal to Aztec gods that countless people in the past were sacrificed to and even achieve the final solution of a “countergenocide” against White people.
The veritable Christopher Rufo yet again presents source documents:
SCOOP: California's proposed "ethnic studies" curriculum calls for the "decolonization" of American society and has students chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice. The solution, according to one author, is a "countergenocide" against white Christians.
Here's the story.🧵

California's Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, based on the Marxist "pedagogy of the oppressed," instructs students to "challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs" and critique "white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression." pic.twitter.com/AUvaI9YiiO

R. Tolteka Cuauhtin, the original co-chair, worked on the early American history material. In the references, he denounces the United States as a "Eurocentric, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal, heteropatriarchal, and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe.” pic.twitter.com/E7HYup9GKy

According to Cuauhtin, whites began "grabbing the land," "hatching hierarchies," and "developing for [whiteness]," which created "excess wealth" that "became the basis for the capitalist economy." Whites continue to subject minorities to "domestication" and “zombification." pic.twitter.com/tgYFWQEnHA

In a related "mandala," Cuauhtin claims that white Christians committed "theocide" against indigenous tribes, killing their gods and replacing them with Christianity. White settlers thus established a regime of “coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide.” pic.twitter.com/dAWxhpjIpr

So much for separation of church and state!
The solution, according to the curriculum materials, is to “name, speak to, resist, and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial condition” in a posture of “transformational resistance.” The ultimate goal, Cuauhtin says, is to engineer a "countergenocide" against whites. pic.twitter.com/KgndpbW3iT

The curriculum includes an official "ethnic studies community chant," in which students appeal to the Aztec gods—including the god of human sacrifice—for the power to become "warriors" for "social justice." Students seek a "a revolutionary spirit" through these incantations. pic.twitter.com/PR5dQl6mSy

The state board of education will vote on this curriculum next week: if it passes, it will install the principles of critical race theory and its related ideologies into the state's 10,000 public schools, serving 6 million children. pic.twitter.com/YpvT6pWCOw
