INDOCTRINATION: NY Public School District Enacts ‘Black Lives Matter at School’ Day

On Thursday, teachers and staff from the Rochester City School District in upstate New York were informed via email that February 17 will be “Black Lives Matter at School: A Day of Understanding & Affirmation.” The email encourages educators to buy a “Black Lives Matter at School” t-shirt “so students will know where you stand” and are provided online literature from radical left-wing websites, such as Vox.com, explaining why saying “all lives matter” is wrong.

“We are pleased to announce that our District will observe Friday, February 17, as Black Lives Matter at School: A Day of Understanding & Affirmation. The Rochester Board of Education, Rochester Teachers Association and Association of Supervisors and Administrators of Rochester recently passed resolutions to proclaim this day,” says the email, issued from the Rochester superintendent’s office.
