AMERICA FIRST EDUCATION aka “patriotic education” is coming to public schools
AMERICA FIRST EDUCATION aka “patriotic education” is what we all need to be watching - this is what will be implemented for our kids if Trump wins.
Turning Point designed an "America-First Education" Program called Turning Point Academy. Turning Point Academy will “develop and distribute K-12 curricula focused on American history, our founding principles and the Constitution.” This material would contrast with what the group called the “false narrative about America'' promoted by teachers and administrators in schools across the country, which they called an “anti-American ideology” that “threatens to destroy our country’s institutions and freedom.” Turning Point targeting K-12 schools has the clear goal of harassing and threatening schools that teach honest U.S. racial history.
Per their website, Turning Point Academy “is dedicated to RECLAIMING the education of our children, REVIVING virtuous education focused on truth, goodness, and beauty, and RESTORING God as the foundation of education.” It is not one school but “an educational movement” that wants to advance “all types of faith-based conservative-values education,” seed Christian, conservative schools around the country; train teachers and administrators and provide resources and curriculum to support this goal.” I don’t know about you, but as a parent the idea of having Turning Point create a curriculum and training teachers in order to pursue a culture war agenda is terrifying to me.
