A High School Lesson on the History of Marxism and Woke Culture
Although I often showcase examples of teachers doing it wrong, today I’d like to share a lesson prepared by a Canadian high school teacher who is doing it right.
Examining the history of Marxism, which it contrasts with the current prevailing ideas about “social justice,” the slideshow does a good job of highlighting the dangers that arise when “group identity” takes precedence over individual rights.
I hope it can help inspire fellow teachers who are looking to teach their students to think critically about belief systems such as woke ideology. Additionally, it certainly never hurts to be reminded that there are many excellent teachers who are laying low but doing their best to equip their students with the tools to think for themselves.
If you would like to edit the presentation for your own use, feel free to make yourself a copy here. (I have permission to distribute.)
Thanks for reading!
I taught in Abbotsford where the topic of almost every administrators’ meeting, according to friends, was equity. The superintendent paid himself gobs of money but saw himself as the reincarnation of a communist, altruistic Christ. All he cared about was group outcome equality. He was a Marxist as long as he was paid higher than everyone else.
Thank you!!
