Indoctrination in Your State & District

Reading and Indoctrination Lists

Norwell School District, Massachusetts

Submitted: 2021-10-16

Story:

At the South Shore Charter Public School in Norwell, Massachusetts, suggested and required reading lists are listed on their website. A quick review shows indoctrination material starting from age zero thru highschool.

While Racism is an important subject, the ages the kids are exposed to these things are far too young, when kids arent old enough to form an opinion themselves, much less weigh the various complexities involved in racism, sexism, etc. As such, they are subjected to indoctrination. It's a shame, as it otherwise appears to be a good school. As a parent looking for a school for my white daughter, I am afraid that if the suggested & required reading lists include what they do, e.g., "A is for Activist" for ages 0-2, and "Me and White Supremacy" for High School, I wonder what the in class curriculum is like? Were my daughter already there, I'd be highly concerned, as should all the parents there.
