Corporations, nonprofit institutions, the media, and countless individual Americans have expressed support of the Black Lives Matter movement, funneling millions of dollars into organizations that purport to carry out its cause.
But although many Americans support the phrase “black lives matter,” the actual aims of organizations and activists committed to this cause often are far more radical than what Americans hear through the lens of the media.
It’s deeply important that we know what the agenda truly is.
A new book, “Black Lives Matter at School,” lays out how the entire system of K-12 education in America could be transformed to carry out the agenda of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Black Lives Matter at School,” a collection of essays, gives a framework for how the movement aims to shape public education in coming years. The book received a fairly laudatory and sympathetic analysis in The Washington Post.
But much like President Joe Biden’s references to radical critical race theory programs as simply “sensitivity training,” the Post smooths over the radicalism of the work and makes it digestible to a larger audience.
A fair number of left-leaning Americans don’t want to support Marxism and ethnic nationalism, but it’s clear that is what “Black Lives Matter at School” and affiliated groups actually are selling.

The author of one essay in “Black Lives Matter at School” wrote a book in praise of Marxism, and many of the items on the economic and social agenda laid out in the book are quite radically left wing.
When Americans say they support “black lives matter,” do they really want to abolish the nuclear family and boot Abraham Lincoln out of America’s pantheon of heroes?
The New York Times’ 1619 Project already has made its way into classrooms across the country, creating a distorted view of American history. But some activists want to conduct their ideas on a grander scale, placing the ideologies of critical race theory and “anti-racism” at the heart of every student’s education.
It’s important that we know what the agenda truly is. “Black Lives Matter at School” gives a framework for how the movement aims to shape public education in coming years.
The essays in the book were edited by Denisha Jones, a director of teaching at Sarah Lawrence College, and Jesse Hagopian, an ethnic studies teacher at Seattle’s Garfield High School.
Essentially, this series of essays provides a blueprint for the Black Lives Matter agenda, how it has been brought to classrooms, and how it can “radically transform our learning environments,” in the words of Opal Tometi, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter organization and author of the book’s forward.Read the rest from Jarrett Stepman HERE
