POSITION STATEMENT: Why woke should stay out of the classroom

Many parents these days are outraged. Our schools are becoming stations for woke indoctrination. Where I draw the line as an advocate is when the concept of racial or gender privilege is brought into the classroom. 

I can think of children's rights concerns regarding woke indoctrination. Calling out the privilege of a large amount of students in a classroom is offensive to white male students who are accused of that privilege, and also prejudicial to such students. When you bring up privilege in the classroom, it creates division in the classroom.

Schools should remain politically neutral places of learning. The problem is that the left believes that they are OBJECTIVELY right, not subjectively, meaning they have no humility of opinion. Leave it to children to explore their political views on their own time. Not school time. School is for learning basic academic and life skills that will last them a lifetime, not useless social justice drivel. 

As an alternative to the education reform that we see from woke activists today, why not get rid of homework to start out with? Why not make ALL instruction in American public schools - PK-12 - play-based in terms of mode of instruction. There is such a thing as self-education under such a setup, and THAT is where children can learn about the history of social justice. Not on school time. 

On the issue of sex education in elementary schools, I do not support giving children sexual choices. Children shouldn't even be having sex. I support instead instilling messages of abstinence in young children from an early age. Yes, most parents don't want to talk about sex to children at a young age, but it has to be done somewhere, and children need to know the established sexual norms of society, as the God's Law instates.

Many parents think that children need to hear the word "no" frequent and often. This is a common attitude on the part of American ...
