US education curriculum sees a 'complete takeover' by 'very scary' leftist narrative
US middle school English teacher Ramona Bessinger says the past year in education has seen a "complete takeover" of the curriculum's literary canon by books promoting a "narrative of oppressed versus the oppressor".
"What I noticed first of all, what we all noticed was that ... our vetted historical texts, our vetted literary texts, novels – all of the books that are in the literary canon were systematically, one classroom at a time, removed and put into recycling bins," Ms Bessinger said.
"That was the most alarming part of all this curriculum rollout.
"Then all of a sudden boxloads of pamphlet-style books were brought into my classroom and my colleagues' classroom.
"As I read through the books and became more familiar with them, one after another had the same narrative and that was the narrative of the oppressed versus the oppressor.
"It was always the same 'white people as the villain' and people of colour 'victims of European descent' – and this inaccurate picture of American history.
"Twenty-two years I've been teaching a very comprehensive literary tradition, including African-American authors, the bad parts of American history and quite frankly all the wonderful parts of American history.
"And now it was all gone and replaced with this narrative of oppressed versus oppressor – very sad, very scary."
