Black Lives Matter...

Sometimes I feel preachy when I talk about Black Lives Matter, and I’m not qualified to preach. But the Black Lives Matter movement has now extended their platform into education.

This coming Monday, Bellevue teachers are going to don BLM t-shirts. My supposition is that none of the teachers wearing those shirts have any clue what the actual BLM platform is about. They don’t know that the leaders are committed to total societal upheaval, according to the leaders themselves. And they don’t know that BLM is a clearing house for Marxism. Just look at their website.

But of course, now, you can’t even question Black Lives Matter without being called a racist.

The Black Lives Matter movement has announced they are against school choice. But guess who’s for it? A huge number of African Americans, because it’s been shown to pay distinct dividends. Why would the NAACP and BLM be against school choice? Are they in cahoots with the unions?

Is this all about ideological control? Is it teaming up power on power?

Teachers, research the leadership of Black Lives Matter. Think hard about whether you want to wear t-shirts and support the BLM movement.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
