Colorado elementary school promotes BLM, disrupting nuclear family in kindergarten and first grade

A Denver elementary school wrote a guide on teaching Black Lives Matter to kindergarteners and first grade students that promotes transgenderism and disrupting the nuclear family.

The document, written by Centennial Elementary School was obtained by Parents Defending Education, a parent activist organization group, and details several terms it deemed the “Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles” for their Black Lives Matter Week.

Among the listed principles were “transgender affirming,” “black families,” defined as a “space that is family friendly and free from patriarchal practices,” and “Black Villages,” which frames nuclear family as a “Western” construct that must be disrupted in a return to the “’collective village’ that takes care of each other.”

Erika Sanzi, the outreach director for Parents Defending Education, told the Washington Examiner the school’s BLM instruction guide was “indoctrination at any age,” adding that it “borders on abuse with students this young.”

“It is preposterous and wholly inappropriate to teach 5- and 6-year-olds that they must commit to being trans affirming and queer affirming and in favor of disrupting the nuclear family,” Sanzi said. “If a parent wants to raise these subjects at home, that is one thing, but in a classroom, it is nothing more than social engineering and a theft of childhood by the state.”

The guide insists “supporting BLM is not political," citing the U.S. government, and said the school’s goal was “not to teach children what to think; rather to expose them to different perspectives and opinions so that they learn to value and respect diversity.”

Centennial made the news in December for promoting a “Families of Color Playground Night” in the name of diversity and inclusion.
