Thank you for this, I’m a 9th grader parent at LCHS. My jaw dropped after reading about the ethnic studies pilot. Especially bad is that major works of world culture, such as the Iliad and Othello were displaced by some modern day “writings”. I happen to have been born in the former USSR and had to endure years of Marxism studies at the university and post-grad level, so I know a bit more than most parents on this subject. Ironically, Marx himself was a pathological racist and there are many quotes from with his insane views on Africans (he used a slur), Slavs, Mexicans, Jews, etc. he called entire ethnic groups counter-revolutionary destined to perish. I would love to quote those at the next parent meeting. The intentional effort to sow ethnic loathing and hatred is unacceptable. I will contact the principal.
