Pushed Agenda Hits The Schools

As schools across the country plan lessons for Black History Month, one public school district in Iowa is skipping past Dr. King’s “Letter from a Birmingham” Jail and preparing to teach children as young as four to celebrate queer-affirming transgendered minorities and learn they come from a white, wealth-hording, nuclear family.  Young America’s Foundation, the conservative student group, was tipped off that the public school district in Ames was preparing a “Week of Action” Feb. 1-5 using classroom materials (pictured above) pulled straight from the Marxist-inspired Black Lives Matter organization. The Ames Community School District is promoting “Black Lives Matter at School” on its own website.  Ames, a university town home to approximately 65,900 residents, has a population that is 80% white. The small city’s Asian population (11%) outnumbers blacks (2%) as the second-largest minority, 2018 census figures show. The median household income is $46,127.  News of the week-long lesson plans have apparently reached the community, too, and the Ames Tribune newspaper reports many in the community have “expressed support” while others are “concerned about what exactly children would be learning next week.” The newspaper story informed Ames about the “13 guiding principles” for Ames students: support for or involve discussions about restorative justice; empathy; "loving engagement;" diversity; globalism; affirmations of queer and trans people, and Black women; privilege; and challenging patriarchal and nuclear family structures in order to make spaces welcoming for all families. According to the Tribune, the school board heard from the school district’s equity director, Anthony Jones, who assured board members in a Jan. 25 meeting that he “is not trying to fix” white students. Ames BLM Goal “But we are attempting,” he said, “to dismantle, to fix, and re-imagine our current school environment.” -On Monday, students will learn about “restorative justice, empathy, and loving engagement.” -Tuesday’s lesson will be on “diversity & globalism,” with students urged to read “Afro-Latinx” books and then audit their classroom library to judge diversity and learn how they are “impacted or privileged within the Black global family.” -On Wednesday, the lesson will focus on “transgender, queer affirming, & collective value,” with suggested readings from Red: A Crayon’s Story and Julian is a Mermaid. -Thursday’s topics are “Intergenerational” spaces “free from ageism,” “black families” “free from patriarchal practices,” plus “black villages” and “the disruption of the Western nuclear family.”-To cap it all off, Friday’s lesson is on “centering black women and femmes,” complete with an “I Love Myself Affirmation chant.” "This is being taught to preschoolers," Brown told the radio show. "That is basically the entire next generation, not the generation that's in high school and college now."         Another example of our world conforming to what man wants, man's lustful desires and sinful nature are being glorified now in schools among the young and impressionable. And they see the nuclear family, Mom, Dad, and kids as a bad thing! This makes me sad and angry.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
