🧵I’m about to tell you what I witnessed and what this taxpayer-funded “disinformation” training is all about. It’s dangerous to our society, and shows how something claimed to protect freedom has the potential to damage freedom.

🧵. The program is for K-12 teachers and is promoted as “media literacy.” But it’s so much more than media literacy, and the impact of the training turned to teacher interaction with students and how students could be utilized as reporting sources.
@RamonaBessinger - Ramona Bessinger🇺🇸
🧵The goal is to have all K-12 children think the same, along approved lines. School children will become targets by other children and teachers for merely expressing their point of views. They will be manipulated and weaponized by partisan teachers and student informers, they will be targeted, isolated, silenced and perhaps falsely reported to the authorities. In the end, no child, teacher or community member will be safe as media literacy initiatives will create a surveillance and punishment culture.

🧵The idea of Media Literacy made its way into K-12 schools as a solution to combat perceived “disinformation” and “violent extremism”. Both terms are defined as a result of children being exposed to “disinformation” while at school. According to the Courageous RI website, the inspiration for the Courageous RI program comes from an essay titled Learning To Avoid Extremism by Sigal Ben-Porath a radical leftist who believes children can influenced politically to think a certain way.

🧵n fact, we are seeing this play out in K-12 schools across the nation. Students are encouraged to identify peers or worse their teachers who they feel represent extremist views then report that individual to other adults in the “in-group”. In some cases, teachers are protested, harassed and bullied, while in other cases, peers may be singled out and bullied.

🧵If parents are interested in knowing how students are turned into raging, hateful activists. Look at this small example from North Kingstown's (Rhode Island) 8th grade English Language Arts class. The "Wit and Wisdom" curriculum platform is used here in Rhode Island and most likely across the United States. It is a DEI-driven platform that includes activities, instruction and reading excerpts. Each module is 400 pages long and takes about three months to complete. The teaching and learning goal here is called "activism for change". The entire module; there are 6, provides step-by-step instruction/lessons on how to be an activist "for social justice and change". 5th, 6th, and 7th grade have similar content. By the time children reach college, they are experts in activism and protesting.

🧵Hundreds of units of study/"modules" like this one have replaced literature. Instead of literature, students are provided instruction on how to be an activists. Imagine the poor 12, 13 and 14 year-olds listening to this content every day they are at school. https://t.co/PVpGVs6vJV

🧵Under the guise of "Justice" students are taught how to apply activist strategies from the Civil Rights movement. This sort of DEI/ Social Justice content dominates K-12 education, and appears across the disciplines and in each grade. https://t.co/x5u8V1lP2g

🧵"Identify elements of effective strategies for social change from the articles, such as getting a large number of people involved in a social change movement". Instead of reading vetted literature, all children are provided step-by-step instructions on how to be an activist. This is one of hundreds in North Kingstown's 8th grade ELA curriculum.
@RamonaBessinger - Ramona Bessinger🇺🇸
🧵The word "uprising" is embedded in this 8th grade grammar lesson on gerunds. There is no part of a child's education that is not influenced by social justice ideology. None. Every moment a child is at school is filled with DEI indoctrination. If you wonder where the hate and violence comes from. Look at K-12 education, then blame the U.S Department of Education along with the AFT.

🧵"Strong-tie Activism" and other types of activism are taught to 13 and 14 year-old children. By the time children get to college, they are pros at activism and discrimination. This is all your child does at school. Everything revolves around protesting. https://t.co/TFjXl77nmL
@RamonaBessinger - Ramona Bessinger🇺🇸
🧵"Social change happens when ideas spread from person to person, place to place and group to group". Now you know how it's done. Along with the training comes, division, hate and violence. It's embedded in K-12 classroom culture and curriculum. https://t.co/vx7ShLu2qu

🧵"There is activism with and without social media." K-12 schools teach various ways a student can participate in social justice activism. This is all children do all day long, every day, and every year. By the time they reach college, they are professional protestors. https://t.co/5cdYnfAgu2
@RamonaBessinger - Ramona Bessinger🇺🇸
🧵Students are taught to use social media or a "sit-in" style protest as a possible way to be an effective activist. (14 year-olds) North Kingstown School District. https://t.co/NbfS7VCAey
