The documents, obtained from Montgomery County Public Schools, detail the district’s “anti-racist” courses, which include Critical Race Theory.
In one of the district’s middle schools, students who attended a social justice class were taught that MAGA is a “covert white supremacy” slogan just like “the N-Word,” the “KKK,” “lynching” and “neo-Nazi.”
Other examples of “covert white supremacy” listed on the worksheet include “police murdering POC,” “colorblindness,” “bootstrap theory” and “Confederate flags.”
Another worksheet asked students, “What is white privilege?” It then explains white privilege includes “having a positive relationship with the police, generally,” “soaking in media blatantly biased toward my race” and “living ignorant of the dire state of racism today.”
Students were also provided with “definitions” of hot-button terms such as “power,” which was defined as “wealth, whiteness, citizenship, patriarchy, heterosexism and education.”
“Black Lives Matter” was defined as “a political movement to address systemic and state violence against African Americans … in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.”
The curriculum as a whole cost the district nearly $454,000, Judicial Watch reported.
“The racist, revolutionary claptrap in these documents should be nowhere near a school classroom,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.
“These documents show that extremists have access to our schools and are willing to abuse this access to children in order to advance a dangerous, divisive, and likely illegal agenda,” he added.
