Here's the kinds of things that can happen when Betsy Devos and mrgybe's buddies start trying to divert the money spent on public education to their companies.
| Quote: | ALAMEDA — Alameda schools plan to cut ties with a remote learning program after parents complained its curriculum included racist material.
Superintendent Pasquale Scuder and school board president Mialisa Bonta described the content as “racist, sexist, homophobic and otherwise inappropriate for our students, our school, and our community at large” in an Aug. 31 letter to Alameda Unified School District families.
Scuder and Bonta said they planned to ask district trustees to authorize the district to stop using the program at the school board’s Sept. 8 meeting.
According to an online petition, Acellus lessons teach about economic justifications for slavery, equate Harriet Tubman’s escape from slavery to freedom to a burglar, and show dolls talking about being “woman-hating.” |
