Here's a leaked resource guide for teachers and educators in the NY area. Notice the "Early childhood" folder. There's a lot of pressure to integrate this kind of activism into the curriculum throughout the school year. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LGslwJwhXvpVnDgw0uC-...

Looks like material prepared by https://www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com/ as part of their plan/goal to as you say "integrate activism into school". Not sure if it's really a leak if it's posted right on their website (https://www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com/curriculum.html)?

I definitely think that no single activism group or "area" should get an outsized influence in education. Certainly it would be irresponsible for teachers or school boards to simply take an given activists group's curriculum or material and apply them as is.

While I understand the hesitancy, especially in the early childhood context, I do wonder what you how educators should approach topical things like black lives matter?

I received the link months ago from another source who attended related workshops. The leak part is letting parents know that this is going on at all. After all people can't google an unknown unknown. But it's amazing how non-chalant they are about their indocrination efforts.
