The @codepted recommends the Zinn Education Project as instruction for Colorado's classrooms. 🚩Here Howard Zinn explains that the U.S. Constitution was not written to protect the rights of all people, but was written simply to favor the upper classes of the 55 rich white men who created it. cde.state.co.us/cosocialstudie…
Few books have been as destructive on the minds of the American youth as this one
School districts across the country are claiming budget crises. But what if the data tells a different story? I built an interactive dashboard that shows how staffing and student enrollment have changed over 30+ years for any U.S. district. What's your district's story?
🚨 THE DEATH OF COLORADO PUBLIC EDUCATION: Schools Bleed Out While Out-of-Touch Politicians Collect Rewards 🚨 Don't let the mainstream spin fool you. The mainstream media wants you to celebrate a measly per-student funding bump ($377 to $528) from the 2026 School Finance Act. But here is the terrifying reality: Our schools are still facing mass closures, massive budget deficits, and skyrocketing class sizes. The math doesn't lie, even if the politicians do. In Adams 12 alone, we are losing 1,400 students next year, erasing $16 million from the budget. This new state money isn’t a raise—it’s a pathetic refill that barely catches the district before it plummets further. The Real Destruction Across Our Districts: Adams 12: Planning to permanently close 5 to 7 schools by August 2027. Class sizes have already exploded from 28 to 35 students. Jeffco: Eliminating 139 positions while suffocating under a $60 million budget shortfall. Westminster: Voted unanimously to close two campuses and completely eliminate middle school grades at five schools. The Teacher Exodus: Veteran teachers with over two decades of experience are literally mowing lawns on the side to make ends meet, while others flee to better-paying districts. The Height of Incompetence and Political Favors While our kids suffer in overcrowded classrooms, the "leadership" responsible for this disaster is getting promoted. Look no further than Lori Goldstein, President of the Adams 12 School Board. Under her completely incompetent watch, the district has cratered, losing over 6,000 students since 2018. But instead of being held accountable for failing our community, Goldstein was handed a special favor—appointed as a State Representative. Why? Because she has proven she is perfectly willing to ignore sound judgment, silence parental concerns, and blindly carry the party line at the absolute expense of our children. It's the ultimate insider back-scratching while local families pay the price. The Single-Item Yard Sale & Academic Collapse The Democrats running this state are utterly incapable of managing anything more complex than a single-item yard sale. Their entire playbook consists of one line: "More money per student!" Yet, despite throwing money into a broken system, academic performance is tanking. Under this failed leadership, Adams 12 schools received a miserable 55.6% performance score—essentially at par with a failing Chicago public school. Inflation, rising health insurance costs, and crumbling infrastructure are outstripping their band-aid bills. They have left our schools academically bankrupt and completely dependent on the whims of the state legislature rather than stable local funding. Families have had enough. People are aggressively choosing home school options or packing up and moving out of state entirely just to rescue their children from this systemic collapse. Our school boards will finalize these devastating budgets in June, and they’ll be begging you to give up your TABOR refunds in November to fix the cliff they drove us over. Stop rewarding incompetence. Our kids deserve leaders, not party-line puppets. #SaveOurSchools #Adams12 #ColoradoPolitics #EducationCrisis #AccountabilityNow #FixCoSchools #AcademicFailure thebrightonblade.com/news/more-mone… cde.state.co.us/schoolview/fra…
Shocked to learn Colorado taxpayers fund medical treatments and surgeries that give a man fake breasts? Check out Colorado's Medicaid program's list of procedures paid for by taxpayers. Genital surgeries. Chest surgeries. Face surgeries. And hormones. Look here: hcpf.colorado.gov/gac-manual
Did you know your state and federal tax dollars pay for K-12 teachers to be trained on topics such as Queer Sex Ed and Anti-Racist Youth Sex Ed at the annual National Sex Ed Conference? In addition to those lessons, public school teachers are trained on a variety of topics such as: *DEI in Sex Ed *Ethical Non-Monogamy *Trans Sex Ed for Special Ed *Critical Thinking for Youth About Porn *How to Imbed Sex Ed Throughout All Subjects Let's follow the sources of funding, what taxpayers are paying for, and how the money flows to the Sex Ed Conference using a specific example from Colorado. 🧵
What happened to sex ed?? Sex education in school may have started out a kid-centered effort in 1912, but over the course of the last century it evolved into a full-fledged adult-centric social-political movement. Today, “comprehensive sex education” is a kind of re-education, replacing healthy, normal caution with attitudes that view any barrier or guardrails regarding sexual activity, at any age, as harmful — and even a form of oppression. 🤨
Employees from @CDPHE explain that an "anti-racist" and anti-oppressive approach" must be embedded into Colorado's public-school sex ed lessons to "disrupt" the white supremacist system that was "built to perpetuate white supremacy."
Colorado tax payers on the hook
@CourageHabit Colorado's @PoudreSchools partners with ASCA standards and also promotes SPLC resources through its DEI initiatives-SPLC was featured in PSD's recent Equity Every Day newsletter and SPLC was recommended by the district's DEI Coordinator in February. x.com/HiKidHey/statu…
🚨$3.85M TO PROMOTE SPLC Taxpayers are unwittingly footing the bill for the Southern Poverty Law Center's Learning for Justice program, according to an important report from @open_the_books first reported by @FoxNews's @Alec_schem. 🧵1/11
Colorado's Black Historical and Cultural Studies Advisory Committee is currently infusing Colorado K-12 social studies standards with lessons informed by the culturally relevant pedagogy concept explained by @ConceptualJames. Committee members are required to have expertise in social equity and are currently using Dr. LaGarrett King’s Black Historical Consciousness Framework to guide their work. King believes, "...Black history as its own genre of historical thought that is independent of Western knowledge." Colorado K-12 curricula will incorporate King's six principles: systemic power, oppression, and racism; agency, resistance, and perseverance; Africa and the African Diaspora Black joy and love Black identities Black historical contention

The Left controls almost all of education now. They use a method called "critical pedagogy" (including "culturally relevant teaching") which is derived from something called "education for liberation." These methods selectively target and traumatize learners to make them moldable into a specific consciousness (namely, critical consciousness) and worldview (namely, late Western Marxism). They do not educate at all. Education is seen as a means to the real end of "awakening" and activation.
