Civil Rights Teams: LGBT Red Guard for Schools

“What we learn from history is that people don’t learn from history,” quips crony capitalist Warren Buffett. However, his fellow Democrats have learned plenty from history. From communist China’s nightmarish Cultural Revolution, they learned how to impose their depraved ideology through gangs of young thugs. Under Mao, these were called the Red Guard. Maine uses the term “Civil Rights Teams.”

At a school board meeting earlier this month

…nearly 100 parents expressed their frustration and anger over how the Windham Raymond School System is handling parental concerns about sexually explicit books, intrusive student surveys, and gender identity programming.

Kids are impressionable; that’s why Democrats focus on schools to advance their degeneracy-based agenda.

Those whose parents are decent and engaged may resist indoctrination. That’s where the Red Guard I mean Civil Rights Teams come in.

Kristen Day said students affiliated with one of [school district] RSU 14’s Civil Rights Teams harassed her daughter. When her daughter refused to speak about her sexuality, two students affiliated with the club began to bully her and call her homophobic.

The girl was in the 7th grade at the time.

“She was then called homophobic because she wasn’t at least bi,” Day said.

Schools have always had bullies, but these bullies have the weight of the liberal establishment behind them. They are cat’s paws for the grownups.

Civil Rights Teams (CRTs) operate in Maine schools as a project of the Maine Attorney General’s Office, and the nominal goal of the student organizations is to reduce “bias-motivated” bullying and harassment in schools.

Progressives call what they are doing by its opposite, because few would be sick enough to go along with their agenda if it were expressed honestly. Killing babies is called “providing healthcare.” Reducing children to grotesque facsimiles of the opposite sex is called “gender confirmation.” Bullying and harassing children who do not submit to the LGBT agenda is called “reducing bullying and harassment.”

CRT members also created surveys for their peers to take with questions about sexuality and gender, and they pressured them to don “pronoun” pins, Day said.

Educrats are on board. Windham Superintendent Christopher Howell bleats that “the focus of [Civil Rights] teams is on helping to create a safe school environment for all.”

“Safe for all” means a rough ride for kids who do not conform.

Most of the parents took aim at pornographic library books like Gender Queer, a popular LGBT-themed book that includes cartoon images of children having sex.

Meanwhile,

At the same time parents have witnessed the Windham schools emphasize gender ideology, diversity, equity, and inclusion, students’ performance on standardized math and reading exams has declined.

According to student data available from the Maine Department of Education (MDE), less than half of all RSU 14 8th graders were proficient at math and reading in 2019.

No worries; educrats in New York have solved this problem. Just lower the standards.

Maine educrats already apply this approach:

Getting accurate data on how far test scores have dropped in Maine schools since 2019 is difficult thanks to changes MDE made to assessments.

The very concept of assessment undermines equity. It will be abolished. All that needs to be assessed is conformity to wokeism. This task can be entrusted to the Civil Rights Teams.
