It's a far cry from Black History.

We all know February is Black History Month. For the entire month, schools promote lessons about famous Black Americans, events in Black History, contributions of Black Americans in our country etc.
But, when a county goes where Howard County, Maryland goes with their "Black History" month curriculum, it gives many a momentary, shocked pause. They question if this "curriculum" is really about Black History and Culture at all.
Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action Board of Education Resolution – HCPSS News
Howard County has a population of approximately 335,000 residents. 48% of Howard County residents are White, 20% African American, 20% Asian, and 8% Hispanic. There are around 56,000 students in the public schools. A majority of the county votes with the Democrat party. Here is the Howard County Board of Education statement on middle and high school curriculum being taught during Black History Month:
In February, Black History Month, and the Black Lives Matter at School: Week of Action are wonderful catalysts to highlight, uplift and affirm the rich history and contributions of the Black community and Black leaders.
Even if you object to the reference to Black Lives Matter in this memo, the memo itself seems innocuous. Here is more:
This week is an opportunity to understand the historical challenges people in the Black community have faced, and their many contributions to society overall. It is not intended to advance or respond to any political movements or agendas.
We put the last sentence in bold because it doesn't seem to fit. After all, Black Lives Matter is a high-profile political movement with an extremist and clearly stated agenda.

When you go there, you will see the founders, even the one who took money to enrich her family and herself:
Let's not forget charges against another executive of the group who was charged with stealing funds:

You won't see the riots and burning of buildings in 2020. BLM hopes you will forget all that. If you google that information, the mainstream search engine paints the riots as "peaceful protests." Tell that to the people whose businesses and homes were destroyed.
What is truly bizarre about the lessons being promoted by the Howard County Public Schools, is that they go beyond Black History into areas that have little or no connection to that topic
. Here is the link to the MIDDLE and HIGH SCHOOL Curriculum:
If you read closely, you may seem something that WE saw. While lessons one, four, and five seem to do with Black History, lessons 2 and 3 aren't even close:
Lesson Two - Diversity, Globalism: Students discuss how their diversity impacts
themselves and others in a global community.
Lesson Three - Queer Affirming, Transgender Affirming, Collective Value/Disability
Justice: Students learn about Andrea Jenkins and discuss how intersectionality impacts
breaking barriers.
According to their own materials, Black Lives Matter has moved to add other identity groups in their activism:
They throw all of this under the category of "intersectionality." This is a fancy way to say, "We will include any group into our identity politics so we can raise more money off them."
It gets worse.
The lessons themselves promote hatred, division and identity politics. If you hurry, you can register for this session: (Annual Week of Action)

It seems Black Lives Matter will trade one "ally" for a new one, one that is terrorizing colleges and Jewish Communities across the country. If we wonder about the effect of these antisemitic lessons on our students, here it is:
Antisemitic incidents in US surge to record high: report
DOJ to head task force to combat anti-Semitism; college campuses first priority
Is there a Jewish community in Howard County? I wonder if they have seen this. I doubt they, or the Howard County Board of Education, wants to promote this.
And then, in the interest of "intersectionality" there are these sections:
This is from the TEACHER'S RESOURCES:
And here is a section of the instructional guide:

Imagine being a parent in the Howard County School System and having your child taught this garbage during Black History Month. You were probably expecting lessons about famous Black figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, and Condoleezza Rice among others. Instead, your child is being taught to hate Jewish people, accept transgenderism and become "gender queer."
Imagine being a child in the system being subjected to the racial and gender hatred that this "curriculum" promotes.
We doubt that many of them know what is really going on.
They may want to wake up, ask questions, and find out.
