While documenting my former high schoolâs attempt to indoctrinate me with critical race theory six years ago, I remarked that now, several years later, âthe situation has undoubtedly worsened.â Worsened it has. Now, Campbell Union High School District has promoted more than 100 âequity resourcesâ to students and staff, including a document that taught students how to put a curse on those who say âall lives matter.â
Colorblindness, Cops, and Curses
The page serves as a vast library for CRT resources and features 60 different links, including a Google Drive folder with 45 different documents. The list made sure to include the full range of CRT buzzwords, with links like Raising Race Conscious Children, the infamous 1619 Project, Anti-Racism for Beginners, and Social Identities and Systems of Oppression, among others.
One link takes you to an âAnti-Racism Resource List,â which teaches about âwhite fragilityâ and claims that racism can only be perpetrated by white people. One of the âresourcesâ provided was a Trevor Noah speech labeled âWhy rioting makes sense,â followed by an unhinged anti-white rant from Sonya Renee Taylor, demanding that white people âthrow your white bodyâ on police officers and âput their bodies on the line for the purpose of justice.â
The list also addresses white people when it says, âWe are socialized into white supremacy from the moment we are bornâ before going on to say âIt is about completely dismantling how you see yourself and how you see the world, so that you can dismantle ⊠white supremacy.â
Samuel Martin graduated from CUHSDâs Branham High School in 2019 and was appalled by the districtâs actions. He told The Federalist, âThe idea that white students must âdismantle themselvesâ in the context of their personality is cultish. Not only is it cultish, but it is deliberate in that this school system wants itsâ white students to hate themselves. Do these people honestly think that drilling racial identitarianism into childrensâ heads from a young age is going to make them less racist?â
CUHSD also links to the Black Lives Matter Resource Guide, specifically their section labeled âhigh school,â which itself includes 45 different texts. Amid a wide variety of CRT inspired assignments is a document that includes writing prompts on police brutality and racist violence.
One section titled âHexâ tells the reader, âHexing people is an important way to get out anger and frustration.â It becomes increasingly deranged, suggesting that those who say âall lives matterâ or commit âmicroaggressions,â should be targeted. âWrite your own hex poem, cursing that person,â it instructs.
When asked her thoughts on the document that instructed K-12 students to use witchcraft on political opponents, Branham teacher Meredith Allen told The Federalist she hasnât read the documents her district recommends, so she âcanât comment,â but that she is generally âopposed to the âall lives matterâ message.â
Another section labeled âA World With No Policeâ cites police and military as âsystems or institutions that ⊠contribute to oppression.â It asks âWhat would the world be like without them?â before telling the reader to write a poem discussing âa world without these institutions.â
âThe Black Radical Tradition,â is a 565-page e-book that includes articles from the Communist League and Noel Ignatiev under the pen name Noel Ignatin. Ignatiev was a Marxist who arguedthat âabolishing the white race is ⊠so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists.â
Itâs too long. You get the gist.
