In their 1848 Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels famously
stated communists seek to �rescue education from the influence of the
ruling class� by changing the type of social intervention that informs
instruction � later to be known as �re-education.�

Likewise, the revolutionary Black Lives Matter movement, co-founded by
self-described radical organizers and trained Marxists, has given rise to
a Black Lives Matter at School coalition whose activists seek to alter
public-school curricula under the guise of promoting �racial justice in
education.�

This week�s national BLMAS �Week of Action� aims to recruit educators,
students, families and community members to join the mission of re-
educating American kids, inviting local activism � and New York City has a
particularly active BLMAS chapter.

But though the coalition says its goal is to transform US classrooms into
�incubators for inclusivity, equity, and justice,� a glance at the
curriculum resources it provides teachers gratis makes clear some instead
degrade, discriminate and defame certain groups of people as a means of
elevating others.

A prime example: the offerings in the �Black+Palestinian Solidarity�
section of BLMAS� Curriculum Resource Guide 2.0. They demonize Zionists
and supporters of Israel with anti-Israel propaganda and anti-Jewish
tropes, encouraging students to become boycott, divestment and sanctions
activists against the Jewish state.

Examples of its resources include:

A statement by a group called Critical Resistance shunning Jewish groups
and calling for their disqualification from criminal-justice-reform
platforms because of their support for a Jewish state.

An anti-Semitic campaign based on stoking political and racial tensions
within America to blame Jews for what it calls �racist policing in the
U.S.� Singling out exchange programs between American police, the FBI,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Israeli law-enforcement agencies
(and not similar programs with Mexico, Europe and other countries), the
campaign falsely claims Americans are being schooled in �extrajudicial
executions, shoot to kill tactics, police murder, and attacking human
rights defenders.� The so-called �Deadly Exchange� campaign uses anti-
Semitic tropes in its condemnation of mainstream American Jewish
organizations it accuses of being �complicit� in programs that allegedly
pervert non-Jewish Americans.

Articles and videos promoting the anti-Zionist views of militant black-
power organizations and leaders like Malcolm X, who promoted the
fraudulent anti-Semitic �Protocols of the Elders of Zion�and coined the
slur �Zionist-Dollarism�; Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee under
the leadership of Stokely Carmichael, who notoriously declared, �The only
good Zionist is a dead Zionist�; the Black Panthers, whose co-founder Huey
Newton the material quotes: �Israel was created by Western imperialism and
is maintained by Western firepower.�

Various petitions calling on black American institutions and affiliated
groups to join the BDS campaign against the Jewish state and push to end
US military funding to Israel. These petitions vilify and delegitimize
Israel with outrageous falsehoods like Israeli soldiers �routinely maim�
and �systematically target� disabled Palestinians for murder.

These materials reflect BLM�s long affiliation with the anti-Zionist and
anti-Semitic BDS movement. Many of these resources were contributed by
Brian Ford, a teacher, anti-Zionist propagandist, BDS supporter and
Democratic Socialists of America activist. With BLMAS� open channel
allowing anyone to post resources for the curriculum, there is little
doubt similarly motivated activists will continue to use it as a platform
for agitprop and hate rhetoric.

New York City�s BLMAS chapter�s website offers additional resources to
develop a curriculum based on BLM�s ideology and mission. It advances its
agenda through local councils governed by the city Department of
Education. Each school district has its own Community Education Council
composed of elected volunteer parents and community leaders tasked with
�promoting student achievement, advising and commenting on educational
policies, and providing input to the chancellor and the Panel for
Educational Policy.� BLMAS is encouraging these councils to distribute its
materials to classrooms during its Week of Action.

Concerned parents can run in the upcoming elections for their district�s
CEC and provide oversight over the re-education of their children. (The
application period closes Feb. 13.)

Local school boards, CECs, educators and parents, meanwhile, should be on
the lookout for curricula that politically indoctrinate children with
defamatory content. Such resources are filled with unjust accusations that
promote hatred and exclusion � a far cry from inclusion, justice and
equity for all.
