WHAT HAPPENS AT SCHOOL MATTERS
TO EVERYONE
WHAT WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN DURING THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS WILL DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF COMMUNITY WE WILL LIVE IN.
There’s a crisis in American education that has transformed our culture. for the past four decades public schools have been quietly replacing our traditional value system with a new set of values that opposes everything this country was founded on.
The following curriculum, "informed" by Critical Race Theory is now recommended by the Oregon Department of Education and is being implemented in Salem Keizer Public Schools in 2021-2022.
Black Lives Matter
Comprehensive Sex Education
The 1619 Project
Ethnomathmatics
Social Emotional Learning
We are at war to fight for the hearts and minds of every student because how they THINK will determine how they act. And that learned perspective will dictate how they will try to solve problems in their future work and family life and as leaders in our community.
VALUES HAVE CHANGED
The new value system believes authority is oppressive and states that the old way must be destroyed, not improved. It separates people based on the color of their skin into oppressors or the oppressed, with no possible remedy, teaching kids to view life through a lens of race. Black Lives Matter is paired with Comprehensive Sexual Education, founded on the belief that everyone has a right to pleasure. Nothing is left to the imagination as they inform K-12 graders about everything there is to know about sex in all it’s forms and even coach how to have better sex.
The traditional values that made America unique and full of opportunity for all are being destroyed as the public school system reimagines our world.

Social Justice Theory is rooted in Marxism that believes any authority is oppressive. God is the ultimate oppressor. All prior standards of achievement and success are now symbolic of "white supremacy” and “systemic racism.” Because the family unit is oppressive, it is symbolic of white supremacy and must be destroyed.
Karl Marx believed that all bad behavior was due to oppression and if we simply got rid of oppression (authority) we would all live in peace. However, if the problem is systemic there is nothing the individual can do to make things better. This takes away personal accountability— but also hope! Hope that I can change my destiny.
The results are chaos and dumbing down of standards in schools. Proficiency was below 12% for 7th grade math in 2021! This is unacceptable! Equity has replaced equal opportunity and excellence.
WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE & RESPONSIBILITY
TO ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
It isn't realistic to expect the world to perfectly align with all of our values. But without our voices, the narrative belongs to a few extremists that want to "reimagine" everything. It's time to speak up and engage in the decision making process and do some good!
Otherwise.... “Gradually, the unthinkable becomes tolerable, then acceptable, then legal, then praised.” — Joni Eareckson Tada
GET INVOLVED
We agree that racism exists, but it exists within individuals who must take responsibility for their actions. We agree that there are real disparities in schools that hinder some students
from taking advantage of all the opportunities available to them. Real time appropriate data needs to be collected to understand what the root causes are and
to mitigate personal implicit biases so that the proper remedy is applied to these cases.
Join our group of concerned parents and community members to help advocate for a student-first education system. Stand with us and make your voice heard. It will take the whole village working together to RIGHT the narrative, one conversation or engagement at a time.
OUR ISSUES
1. Curriculum should be transparent and accessible to everyone as the law requires.
2. Safety & SRO's at schools & Data driven decisions
3. Parents Rights as primary educator of children and the right to be part of decision making process in schools.
4. No vaccine mandates for kids. It’s the parent's choice and responsibility to do what is best for their child.
STAND TOGETHER TO DO GOOD!
1. Support Parent's Rights to educate and advocate for their children
Parents should be in charge of their children's health
No student consent without parental consent
No vaccine mandates for children
2. School safety should be a top priority
Learning cannot take place unless the classrooms are safe.
We want our School Safety Officers SRO's back in school
3. Data needs to drive decisions, not political whims or feelings
The only way to check implicit bias is to check the data!
Please collect appropriate & relevant data
Continue to monitor safety data points every month.
4. Get back to educating and away from politics. Get back to the basics
QUIT with the race and sex propaganda
Reinstate stand alone advanced or Honors classes
We need consistent standards to measure gaps and progress
