Public outrage sparked after schools in the U.S celebrated Black Lives Matter “Week of Action.”
The majority who voiced out against the celebration were parents, claiming that the Black Lives Matter political movement is concerning them.
“[I’m] very concerned that the Black Lives Matter political movement has trojan-horses their way into Black History education at Webster Elementary. BLM is a divisive and radical fringe group that includes anti-American, anti-Israel (OUR Jewish homeland and that of proud Jewish people), antisemetic and racist propaganda.” one California father wrote to members of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District via email.

According to the concerned father, the school district sent him and other parents a letter stating that the local school board approved the celebration “BLM Week of Action” for the second consecutive year.
The letter also urged the “teachers and schools” to implement the group’s controversial “13 guiding principles,” which includes the calling for the “disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics”, “Globalism”, “Queer Affirming”, and the concept Black Villages”.
However, the concerned father blasted the school’s plan to celebrate the week, claiming that Black Lives Matter is “unequivocally a racist political movement that goes against many of our family values.”
“We are not a racist family. We are a Jewish family. We are a family of immigrants that came from Poland, Greece, Russia and Spain. Both of our daughter’s great grandfathers fought fascism in WW2. Our family has been in the holocaust, pogroms, the pontic genocide, and further back, The Spanish Inquisition. We strongly support Israel. BLM is unequivocally a racist political movement that goes against many of our family values. I am not going to allow this group of pretenders to have any part in my child’s education. I’m hoping that the information I’ve received is untrue.” The father wrote.
The outrage also came after the website “BLM at School.” stated: “We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, and especially ‘our’ children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable,”
