And apparently, what exactly, to be "active" about...


[b]"Jones College Prep, a Chicago Public Schools “selective enrollment” school, held “Social Justice Week” in March, a collection of events geared towards turning students into activists."

Exclusive - Indoctrination 101: Teaching Chicago Students to Protest

More indoctrination being brought to our kids on our tax dollar, with some added help from George Soros' Open Society among others. This article focuses on one day of the Indoctrination Week, that brainwashed the kids about Gun Control. (From the quotes provided, it was apparent the kids needed to check their free thinking brains at the door.) Seems like this will be the first in a series reporting on this "Social Justice Week" at one of our finest public schools (apparently ranks in the top 100.)

Doc, that term social justice really gets me going especially when i read things like your link. From that link I took this article from the link and found much that I didn't need to know. It seems that there is always indoctrination involved when you read anything about community organizing and George Soros and you see his name in the article.

What will happen when they get a Democrat Congressman siccing the IRS on anyone who disagrees with the organizers?

Sounds like a wonderful learning opportunity offered by one of the country's best pubic high schools.

From the school's website:

"Why: Social Justice Week was created to promote community advancement through dialogue and community service based activism. Moreover, we hope to unify the voice of various JCP and community organizations in which to facilitate collaboration for the betterment of the community at large and promote a unified human rights advancement initiative. We hope to accomplish this by planning events that bring together numerous organizations for a common goal such as an awareness campaign on the war in Africa, a week on poverty awareness, Women's rights, LGBTQ rights, etc. We are looking for community organizations to volunteer their time to come help our students to become more aware of the world around them."
Jones College Prep

Learning opportunity? I guess it could be; but instead it will be biased indoctrination as usual, where students are discouraged from forming their own opinions and are merely used as a tool for the extreme left's agenda.

From the session on Gun Control:

"At this particular session of Social Justice Week, no opposing views were offered. It appeared only certain outcomes were being sought. Jackson strongly encouraged the students to develop forms of non-violent protest. “I’m not telling you to do it, but if you were going to,” he said, leading the proverbial horse to the water."

"When one student stated that she believed everyone should be able to own guns, her opinion was dismissed."

"Jackson then offered the idea of creating a symbolic graveyard on the school lawn of headstones featuring the names of Chicago residents killed with guns."

"Social Justice" and "Econimic Justice were the cry of communism and communists.

Training the kids to be entitlement monsters and communists would not be good for them or the country.

I wonder how the parents feel about this.

It's the fools like this that try to ruin any attempts that Blacks make to improve their situation.

Are you one of the those who complains about Blacks glamorizing thug life and guns? Are you one of those who say that Blacks need to clean up their own community before they go looking for someone else to clean it up for them?

So when they organize to fix a problem, like gun violence, something they deal with everyday, what's your contribution? "They want entitlements." Where in that article did it say anything about entitlements?

Let me ask you a serious question: do you enjoy the fact that many Black neighborhoods are rife w/ gun violence?

It's easy to sit there in the suburbs when nothing happens, relatively safe from crime, but tell us how your guns-for-everyone stance would save anyone from being caught in some crossfire on the way to the laundromat, library, or school. It doesn't.

You're too lost in your myopic stupidity to recognize that these kids grow up w/ that realization of being an innocent bystander is as simple as being outside w/ your back to the road. This is their solution to deal with their problem.

Interesting rant. But try reading the article. This prep school is equally divided between whites, blacks and hispanics.

Strawman for the fail. What does the racial makeup of the student body of the school have to do with those kids identifying a real issue and attempting to solve it? Nothing.
