'Good for Alabama GovernorKayIvey for insisting that her state’s teacher preparation materials for early-childhood education not focus on 'woke' obsessions about race and gender.' -QuinHillyer
The specific NAEYC publication at issue, the fourth edition of its Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, makes only some of its materials available online, and when ordered as an e-book, it arrived but, for some reason, could not be opened Enough of the overall NAEYC agenda, though, is available online to get a sense of why it is objectionable.children. We’re not talking about high schoolers with a fair amount of lived experience.
And that doesn’t even get into the NAEYC’s highly tendentious adoption of the full leftist panoply of assumptions about the supposedly fluid, non-binary nature of gender and their insistence on teaching young children in ways promoting acceptance of such fluidity. It’s all there, emphasized repeatedly in NAEYC publications this Practice Book endorses.
This is outlandish. Ivey is right to say it is all “divisive at the core.” This radical agenda has no place in preschool, where it’s tough enough just to start teaching children socialization skills and the early rudiments of reading and arithmetic.As the preface itself notes, most of this woke nonsense is new since the publication’s third edition. It’s not as if conservatives such as Ivey are suddenly attacking long-accepted practices.
Yet now that the battle is joined, those who radically attack children’s natural innocence are the ones who must, quite decisively, lose the war.
