Today, the US Department of Education set up a web site solely dedicated to providing a way for Americans to report public schools for the offense of having inclusion, equity, and diversity in their classrooms.
I could see right away why this project is such a priority for the US Department of Education. I mean, imagine what it must feel like for people to discover that public schools, of all places, are finding ways to include a diversity of students in their classrooms in an equitable way!
The web site is at a standalone domain at EndDEI.gov. The site features a rant by Tiffany Justice, a co-founder of the right wing extremist organization Moms For Liberty. She complains of “rogue sex education and divisive ideologies” influencing public schools.
Moms For Liberty, for their part, has been emulating the Nazis by forming committees of political extremists to demand that libraries and schools ban books. What a good example Ms. Justice sets on avoiding ideological divisiveness!
I like to think of myself as the type of citizen (Yes, I am a citizen of the United States of America. Please don’t send me to the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay!) who shoulders his fair share of the burden of civic duty. So, as soon as I learned about the EndDEI.gov web site, I did my part. I sent the Department of Education a message informing on my local public school.
Citizens informing on each other in order to establish ideological conformity – that’s the American way!
The message I sent to the Department is as follows:
“I am writing to complain about discrimination on the basis of rates and sects.
The rates I am being charged in the grocery store for a dozen eggs here in Ithaca, New York has gone up dramatically since Donald Trump was inaugurated. I think all people should be able to eat a food as simple as eggs, regardless of rates.
I am also concerned about the growth of rogue sects education, as promoted by divisive Christian Nationalist organizations such as Moms for Liberty. This rogue Christian sect has attempted to push public schools to indoctrinate all students in Christian theology and to participate in Christian religious rituals such as prayer, even when students are from non-Christian families. Non-Christian families make up 40% of the American population, but here in Ithaca, non-Christians are 60% of the population, so I hope you see how that could be a problem.I am also concerned about your efforts to end diversity in the Ithaca City Schools. How do you plan to accomplish this? Are you thinking compulsory re-education camps, ethnic cleansing, or just closing the public schools down? A combination of both?”
As a citizen informer to our new fascist government, what kind of report will you submit about your local public school’s insidious support for diversity?
