Here is a slide from the from last year's test run of the GRADE 2 Science curriculum. It looks to be from another country even. Don't forget one of the touted strength's of this new curriculum was the fact our student's could see themselves in it.
Remember this was for 2ND GRADERS who haven't fully developed their ability to discern. Images are more powerful than words and they see brown people living in primitive squalor, juxtapose that picture with this one of a straight haired white girl in a pristine environment:
If they had wanted to use pictures of white squalor all they had to do was ask. I grew up in Appalachia, I know places. Lots of places with plenty of poverty, junk cars, and pollution from coal mines. Of course that wouldn't subtly reinforce the suppression of immigrants. I wonder if the people who developed this program have ever heard of PTSD?
