Jennifer Showalter on CRT and What Ails the Palm Beach Schools

In the process of restarting the club for 2021, we decided to bring focus on some of the critical issues that currently threaten our way of life. Cancel culture, compromised elections, open borders, economic insanity, and the total politicization of media, corporations, academia, K-12 public schools, cultural institutions and most of the federal government are all things we must understand in order to fight against them.

This week our topic was one of the most insidious of these threats and one that is not easily observed – the indoctrination of our children in K-12 public schools. If there was a silver lining to the pandemic, it was that “distance learning” let parents see for themselves what was being taught in the classrooms. Many did not like what they saw.

Presumably with the goal of creating a whole new generation of citizens sympathetic to Marxist ideas, our school systems are being taken over by the radical left. Critical Race Theory, teaching that the color of your skin is more important than the content of your character, is taking root like an invasive species, and seeks to divide us into warring camps.

Jennifer Showalter, our speaker this week, has been bringing the heat of public scrutiny to the Palm Beach School system through appearances at school board meetings and demonstrations in the streets. Joining her counterparts nationwide, she is asking the tough questions and bringing accountability to those who would poison the minds of our children. Here is a synopsis of what she had to say in her riveting half hour lecture on the state of our schools:

Calling it the “fight of our time”, Jennifer showed us how CRT and other Marxist projects are seeping into every corner of society. In the schools specifically, we are seeing homogeneous “anti racist” training seeded into all subjects using resources provided by such groups as “Brain Pop”. One result other than overt indoctrination is a reduction in proficiency levels for the skills that count – math, language, history and science.

This is not an isolated problem. Backed by the teacher’s unions and groups of the teachers themselves who have vowed to teach this stuff in spite of laws being passed against it, the local system is pushing forward. Teachers are taking action to prevent parents from hearing what is said in the classrooms by requiring student headsets for distance learning, and stopping the lessons if parents are observed in the room. The School board for its part, is trying to deal with the overwhelming opposition by labeling it a “faction” and limiting public input to one speaker for 3 minutes. At workshops, they are looking for ways to exclude the public altogether. This is not transparency or representative government in action!

Some of the specific ills that Jennifer is fighting against include the sexualization of children and the focus on gender identity, the “dumbing down” that occurs from the remnants of common core where everything is subjective, and the focus on “emotional learning” that shuts down the right-brain. There is no “objective reality” anymore and even science is performed by “consensus”. All people are to varying degrees “oppressed” or “oppressors” and their privilege or disadvantage is ranked by their “intersectionality”. “Equity” is to be favored over “Equality”, so that we seek equal outcomes rather than equal opportunities.

The school district’s mission statement became a public discussion over the words of “white advantage”, but what remains of it seeks conformity, not individuality. We are graduating clones – conditioned to respond to stimulus (ie. obey) rather than those capable of independent thought.

Now that these programs in the classroom are coming to light, we must bring the fight to them. Get informed and engaged, show up, wave signs, come to meetings and spread the word.

Jennifer Showalter is an announced candidate for School Board District 6, the seat currently held by Marcia Andrews. For information about her campaign, and to volunteer or donate, click HERE.

What’s Going On in the Palm Beach Schools?

“Activist Mom” Jen Showalter will be our guest speaker.

With two special needs children, Jen has seen firsthand the failed policies that have had negative impacts on the students and their families. A fighter, she has been organizing resistance at School Board meetings and in the streets to oppose the mask mandates and the Marxist principles of Critical Race Theory (CRT). She would like to establish transparency and accountability to the School Board and Senior staff, and “scrub and dismantle the socialist ideology & indoctrination through any programs or curriculum, including but not limited to: CRT, racial equity, and an anti- American curriculum.” Jen will help us understand the state of play in our local schools and suggest some ways we can join the fight.

Jen has also decided to be a candidate for School Board District 6.

Representative Rick Roth on a Most Amazing Legislative Session

This year’s legislative session in Tallahassee should make us all proud. As the Biden Administration and their Progressive minions in Congress go about their business of compromising election integrity, mismanaging the pandemic, socializing the economy, promoting Marxist ideology in the schools and encouraging the muzzling of Conservative expression in Social Media, the state of Florida has said “Stop! Enough!” Many of the bills that were passed and signed into law directly counter the Progressive agenda in DC.

District 85 Representative Rick Roth was in the thick of it this year, and came to the RCPB this week to highlight what a Republican Legislature and great Governor can do when the times demand it. In his written end of session report, he covers the just passed $102B budget, sweetened with federal stimulus funds, and then lists fully 28 bills that he considers key. (Click here for a copy of the report.)

It should be noted that those bills that are counter to the Biden agenda and opposed by the national media (Election reform, anti-riot act, anti-lockdowns, social media, school choice, women’s sports, free speech in the schools) were passed strictly along party lines.

Among the highlights:

• In the area of Covid-19 response, they passed civil liability protection for businesses and other entities (HB-7005), augmented the emergency preparedness fund (HB-1595), and set limits for emergency management response by local governments such as lockdowns and vaccine passports (HB-7047).
• To protect our communities, they passed the “Combating Public Disorder Act” (also known as the anti-riot act HB1), set out best practices for law enforcement (HB-7051), solidified election integrity (SB1), and put serious penalties on social media companies for arbitrary censorship and de-platforming of Floridians (HB-7013).
• For our education systems, we now have expanded school choice (HB-7045), protection of women’s sports (HB-51), a defense of free speech (HB-233), and a “Parent’s Bill of Rights” over how their children are taught and treated in the schools HB-241).
• For the environment, they established a grant program for local communities to deal with sea level rise and other resilience (HB-7019), partially funded by the Documentary Stamp Tax (HB-5401) and strengthens the protection for farmers against nuisance lawsuits (HB-1601).
• For Home Rule, there will be an amendment on the ballot to abolish the Constitutional Revision Commission (HJR-1179), limit local interference in port operations (SB-1194) or the use and sale of fuel types (HB-839 and 919).
• Regarding Insurance, they abolished “no-fault” car insurance (HB-719), and adjusted Citizen’s coverage versus private insurance and their ability to adjust rates (HB-305).

Representative Roth is not a stranger to his constituents – he is a regular at the REC, clubs like this one, city councils in the north county and business and civic groups. He is also frequently out on the street with us at Trump flag-waving and other showings of support. Even given that, he says he is not seen “in the newspapers” much, as he gets more done working behind the scenes with the Speaker and other Legislative leaders. He also is active seeking input for legislation, and spent time with SOE Wendy Link to get her input on the elections bill.

President Kim Davis, Representative Rick Roth and past President Fran Hancock.

Also at the meeting, we welcomed new President Kim Davis and bid farewell to past president Fran Hancock who received flowers and Kudos from club Secretary Bette Anne Starkey. Fran will be moving north soon, and leaves behind a significant legacy of Republican leadership in the state and county of close to 50 years.

Kudos to our new venue the Palm Beach Kennel Club, for hosting a great meeting in an attractive setting with a delicious buffet lunch.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, July 27th. Save the date!
