Now that Anti-CRT people are on schoolboards, they don't want to deal with angry people now

For 30 minutes over a mile and a half, about 80 students, parents and other community members protested the 1776 Pledge that three new members of the Johnston School Board, who were sworn in Monday night, signed prior to their election.

The marchers made their way to the district's offices at about 5:30 p.m., where they met a prayer circle that consisted of parents and community members in support of the most recently elected board members.

Parent Michelle Veach said she and others at the meeting helped with the three candidates' campaigns and are passionate about them being on the board. She wanted them to know that there are people that are excited to see their leadership, she said.

"I have voted for candidates who have lost in many elections and I don't show up to protest when those people take office," Veach said. "I think that this is a negative event for our community."

* Restoring "honest, patriotic education" that cultivates in children "a profound love for our country."

* Promoting a curriculum that teaches that "all children are created equal, have equal moral value under God, our Constitution and the law, and are members of a national community united by our founding principles."

* Prohibiting curriculum that "pits students against one another" on the basis of race or sex.

* Preventing schools from "politicizing education" by prohibiting curriculum that requires students to protest or lobby during or after school.

Before signing the pledge, candidates must also affirm that they share a set of beliefs, including that the United States is an "exceptional nation," that the founding fathers and other leaders were "among the greatest Americans to ever live" and deserve to be honored as heroes, and that young people should be taught to view each other as "individuals made in the image of God" and not by race or gender.




And to think they claimed they were worried about indoctrination.


LMAO
