For many years, I fought against anti-Semitism nationally and internationally but never expected to find an egregious example of it in the schools in my own back yard. In 2012, a parent in Williamson County alerted me concerning a textbook passage that legitimized “Palestinians” blowing themselves up in a Jerusalem restaurant “because they were waging a war against Israeli government policies and army actions”. The book also accused Israel of being “occupiers.” Upon further review of the textbook, I found it riddled with anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-Judeo-Christian and anti-American content. It also had inaccuracies, was biased and did not reflect the values of the Williamson County community.
After the school board and superintendant refused to remove the textbook, I launched a media campaign through my organization, Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN), to expose how the children of Williamson County were being indoctrinated in their classrooms. The campaign resulted in replacing six school board members and altering the way schoolbooks are approved in Tennessee. The state’s textbook commission now has greater public input and transparency in the review process.
This story went national as Fox News picked up the account and I soon had parents from around the U.S. who discovered similar inaccurate, biased and anti-American content in their children’s textbooks contacting PJTN. During the COVID-19 crisis, parents witnessed their children’s education online and saw the propaganda and pornography being peddled to their children.
Parents are now fighting back in every way they can. Over the last 8 years, I’ve met with and trained parents and citizens in Florida, Ohio, Massachusetts, California and Texas. This work also included meeting with parents and citizens in 50 counties across the state of Tennessee. Through our training sessions and workshops, I developed a 2-day event to educate people and a grassroots campaign on Taking Back America’s Children.
The strategy includes:
• Unmasking the revisionist curriculum of Common Core and the 1619 Project
• Reinstate curriculum containing foundational Judeo-Christian values
• Combat Marxist ideology and CRT in schools
• Block antiseptic and Holocaust revisionist curriculum
Taking Back America’s Children: Tennessee Summit
This power packed event will effectively educate, motivate and equip parents and patriots alike with the strategies needed to reclaim America’s classrooms. If you’re a parent or concerned citizen then don’t miss this vital workshop and seminar on August 19ht and 20th at the Williamson County Enrichment Center in Franklin.
