" #TeachTruth" Campaign Pushes DISGUISED Critical Race Theory in Schools

oh we're live are we live yes yes we're live hi everybody you almost caught me off guard there but you didn't because we're alert i'm jill simonian from prageru kids hope everyone is having a great tuesday it is my weekly takeover in the womelis studio as i'm calling it because every week we come here and we do like a 10-minute takeover for all of us parents who are alert and alive and paying attention to what's happening in our children's education system amel is with me today hello there she is she's my amulet is my unofficial go-to investigative journalist you are i try to be here you are you do a fanta thank you for everything and she gives me a lot of wisdom along the way listen today i found something that i wanted to bring to you as we all know if you're a parent or a grandparent we know that it's we are deep into back to school season right now my kids have already gone back to school um oh last week if you were on the prageru instagram you might have seen my for lack of a better word testimony to a local school board that was trying to where a group of teachers were trying to quote unquote sneak through some radical ideologies into curriculum without the knowledge of our school board without the knowledge of parents so go to the prageru instagram page and see what the school board meetings are all about because at prageru kids and prep we are calling on all of our parents and like-minded educators right now to join us become a member of prep and send us your videos of bravery when you speak up at your school board meetings or at your uh district meetings for your public or private school send us your videos because we want to empower parents to speak up and be brave for any group of educators that are trying to sneak critical race theory into the classrooms without our consent without our knowledge right absolutely absolutely just drop the link to your speech in the comments thank you thank you thank you so um yeah anyways you all give me the bravery to do that today we have got an email that was sent to me from uh one of our teachers on our prep team and he is um he is a former teacher history and social studies teacher who has since stepped away from teaching but he's still on these mailing lists for teachers and he forwarded this to me last week and he said heads up hey i think you just want to see this uh for your knowledge to inform all of our uh prep members prageru prageru kids uh fans to what's going on and amela i'm gonna have you pull this up got it if we can't see what i mean investigative journalist and she's going to do a deep dive we're going to talk about this this is from the i want to let me see i'm scrolling over here because i can't see over there it's from the sin education project we're all familiar most of us are familiar with uh you know howard's in education project the latest initiative teaching people's history hashtag teach truth syllabus which is so ironic because they've identified this as the teach truth syllabus but in fact is based on drumroll yeah right okay so let's scroll down a little bit sure in this email that went out to uh i don't know how but i'm going to guess thousands if not millions uh in this email it says a truthful curriculum engages children in a much broader investigation of the past yada yada we all go to get this i want to highlight so we see that little picture that says teach truth syllabus with a picture with a red banner across it i want to go to the copy under that we offer more and i'm reading this we offer more than a dozen lessons for constructing a teach truth syllabus although you will not find the phrase critical race theory anywhere in the linked materials you will find that these resources like crt provide a framework for students to understand how racial disparities developed historically and endure today so right here is a direct is it appropriate to say sneak attack for hey guys here's crt curriculum it doesn't have the word crt curriculum in it but use this because it's pretty much the same thing but it's not going to trigger parents and educators who might acknowledge that crt is lies right absolutely if if you're a parent right now who is involved in social media mainstream media watching anything in the news you're looking out for the word uh critical race theory you're looking out for crt and what they're saying is we're going to use the foundation of those principles and we're going to sneak that into your syllabus without putting the label on it yeah and you know what's interesting too the more and more i learn um as director of outreach for prageru kids i am this education world is admittedly very new to me yes i'm a mom i have kids in schools my mother was a teacher my sister is a teacher but the education system how it operates the mechanics of it it is very new to me and i'm learning amala that there is something called academic freedom that teachers and educators can operate under this umbrella of academic freedom meaning there is approved curriculum that has been provided by the state or this you know the district to use but then under academic freedom there's this wiggle room where teachers can pluck and pull and find different things that they deem appropriate regardless of who may or may not approve of it and teach it to our kids and that academic freedom umbrella is getting very dicey right now because there is so much leftist takeover and this this zen education project is an example of trying to give teachers this resource to use under this academic freedom umbrella hey we don't necessarily have to inform people but here's what you use can we click on that link are you able to click on that link that says teach truth syllabus and just take us to the next thing because then there we go investigative my investigative person envelope what would i do without you um everybody give her a round of applause all right she's awesome okay so now we're in this syllabus teeth teach truth syllabus i just want to show everyone so we are scrolling down and oh my i highlighted something so in this syllabus it says we offer this teach truth syllabus as a gesture of defiance and education so defiance yep where we're defying the the normalized view in america of what history is meant to be now here are resources that are going to tell you the exact opposite of that or at least highlight the transgressions and that's what howard's in his famous for if you guys haven't read his book of people's history of the united states of america he goes through all these different uh periods of american history and tells the the viewpoint of history through the the lens of the subjugated people the people who were not the victors in that case which is what he aims to do here yeah and and i want to address something which a lot of our critics will often bring up they'll say oh you want to teach kids fairy tales and lies and you want to that is not the goal here my goal as a parent is to get my kids educated in an unbiased way when it is age appropriate for them to analyze all the problems and severities and faults of america's past a kindergartner should not be learning about all of the complexities of racial disparities and ra it it's too they can't absorb it their brains are not developmentally there to be able to analyze and absorb it they see things as good as not good and and they start internalizing these very complicated complex ideologies and it frankly confuses them and then what happens is we don't have any kind of semblance of americans together you know being one as a community of americans right and in any teaching whether your kid is younger or older you should get the full scope of everything in this in education product i'll show a project they show this little graphic here and i'll put that up on the screen it's of the gi bill it says what we are taught the gi bill helped vets to secure loans to buy a house upon returning from world war ii and then on the other side it says what we would be taught with critical race theory we would be taught that many banks refused to approve loans for black vets resulting in fewer than 100 out of 67 000 mortgages going to non-white borrowers in some suburbs what should be taught and what i was taught in school was that the gi bill was the thing that helped that's get mortgages and buy houses but it did exclude a lot of black vets you should be taught history in its entirety and what the zen education product project aims to do is to just teach the subjugated part of that and what's happening is all of the subjugated parts are now overtaking every single main story the teacher that did send me this has we've had many discussions about what is happening to education and he he you know he he was a history and social studies teacher public and private schools in texas for many years and he flat out said what is happening is that we are the footnotes things that we can and should learn the footnotes of history are becoming the main events and the main events that have been good or beneficial or positive and the main events are being um tossed out the window in favor of these footnotes and complexities and that's just it's not okay um so yeah so we just wanted to inform you so to speaking of teaching truth amela we always like to i do takeovers every week and you're very gracious for letting me use your studio because we want to always keep you informed about what we're doing at prageru kids if you're not a member yet become a member of prageru kids prep membership prageru kids.com kids oh i forgot taylor were there any comments about this i forgot to ask you um yeah there's a lot of just people worked up um if you nora says if you have to hide your curriculum from parents and obviously you know it's wrong linda said no to crt it's manipulation brainwashing and propaganda stephen said love how they use labels teach truth and jeremy said we all know it's vs but we need to explicitly debunk it in detail and it's partly what we're doing here but we also have a minute video by james lindsey on the critical race theory so i'll drop that link in the comments as well you can see that that was such a good video that was such a good video if you haven't watched that yet watch it going back to the person who said it's ironic that they're saying teach truth it is ironic and we were laughing because one of our recent prageru kids offerings is called tbh history to be honest history because the kids say tbh you know so uh we have this new show that launched it was launched a few weeks ago but we have more episodes coming out and it's often on topics um this particular debut episode was about the scientific revolution which really is not is one of those big history topics that is being put into the footnotes when it shouldn't be put into the footnotes for education um but yeah we're teaching about the scientific revolution we have a two-part series coming up of the american revolution um the russian revolution is coming up the french revolution is coming up because we want to teach our kids what these movements have meant and how they fit into history in an unbiased way we want to teach kids the truth do we want to run a little clip just because it's so fun let's do it okay go at your phone have you ever wondered where it came from like someone made it but how imagine for a second your phone suddenly turned into a pitchfork your classroom turned into a farm and just like that you're wearing wool tunics and scratchy stockings this could have been your life but how did you get to be the one watching a video on a screen that has more complexity and technology than existed in all of europe nearly 600 years ago your phone and the technology around you didn't just pop into existence it took time for the science to develop the technology so what got the ball rolling a revolution not a revolution of countries or george washington's smoulder or people singing in the streets do you hear the people no no a revolution of ideas boom and we'll stop it right there boom oh we we didn't get to see all the costumed parts but that's okay that's a teaser there's a ton of costumes tell your kids to watch you can watch it with them i learned a little bit of something uh it is for i want to say middle school kids technically speaking but my elementary school kids loved it too also teaching truth we have our one of our new digital magazines out children around the world these are discussing geopolitical issues this latest one which amel is scrolling thank you so much tada is about venezuela and how socialism affected to put it lightly venezuela and so these are all the things that our kids really do need to learn the truth about and we're doing it at prageru kids and we're thankful for everyone's support and we call on you to become a member to support more programming like this and um become a member because you can also help us bring all of these compromised initiatives like the zen education project to life via this weekly live stream takeover right so anything else omelette any final thoughts i think that's it just keep an eye out for for what your children are being taught teachers out there who are being resilient and holding strong with their conservative values good on you and keep doing what you're doing thank you yes good on you good on you good on all of you all of us fighting the right fight if you're a parent or a teacher and you're
