A school district in Denver, Colorado, plans to host a Black Lives Matter “Week of Action,” according to a report from Parents Defending Education.

Centennial Elementary School (CES) in Denver Public Schools (DPS) announced its plans to participate in the “Black Lives Matter (BLM) at School Week of Action” from Jan. 31 – Feb. 4, according to a report from Parents Defending Education(PDE). The school said it will instruct kindergarteners and first graders to be “transgender affirming” by “recognizing trans-antagonistic violence” and “queer affirming” so “heteronormative thinking no longer exists.”

Most kindergarteners and first graders are five, six and seven years old, according to PDE.

One of the 13 “Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles” the elementary school will teach is “globalism,” which is defined as “our ability to see how we are impacted or privileged within the Black global family.”

Another BLM principle outlined by the school is “Black Villages” or “the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other.”

“Black Women” are defined as the “building of women-centered spaces free from sexism, misogyny, and male centeredness.”

The school also provides a link to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), such as “Isn’t teaching BLM teaching politics?,” “Are all of these topics age-appropriate?” and “I don’t support the BLM organization or all of the of the BLM movement. How should I talk to my child about it?”

Responses include the claim that “supporting BLM is not political” because it is “not inherently aligned with a single political party,” PDE documents show.

In response to age-appropriateness, the school said it believes “it is never too early to start talking about race,” citing research that says children ages two to four can internalize racial bias and by age 12, “many children become set in their beliefs,” according to PDE documents.

Teachers may also read out “age-appropriate texts” such as “Julian Is A Mermaid” about a “straight, white cis woman” that challenges “the reader’s bias and the social norms around gender expression and identity” or “A Day of Pride” about a Pride Parade that is threatened by a “Witch of Shame.”

CES said it is not promoting BLM, as an organization, but will use resources such as “How to Talk to Young Children about the Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles,” according to PDE.

The FAQ’s also link to articles like “Talking About Race” and “Being Antiracist,” which promotes the work of Ibram X. Kendi, an outspoken proponent Critical Race Theory (CRT) and “anti-racism.”

CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.

“There is no such thing as a nonracist or race-neutral policy,” Kendi purports in his book, “How To Be An Antiracist.” “Every policy in every institution in every community in every nation is producing or sustaining either racial inequity or equity between racial groups.”

In response, he believes, “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

CES was previously criticized for its plans to host a “families of color playground night,” on Dec. 8, which DPS said was requested by black families so they could meet other black families.

Previous “families of color playground night[s]” occurred on Oct. 13 and Nov. 10, according to a CES calendar and a Facebook post obtained by journalist Chris Rufo

Parents Defending Education, a concerned parents organization fighting indoctrination in the classroom, filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education on Dec. 17 for allegedly violating both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution for discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.

It is important to note that all of the topics being taught at the Black Lives Matter event have one thing in common—They run in direct contrast to the Bible:

• Disruption of the “nuclear family” is an assault on God ordained marriage and family unit established at the beginning of Genesis when God brought together one man and woman in marriage (Adam and Eve – Genesis 1:27 and 2:24) and instructed them to be “fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). God has also used the covenant of marriage as an example to explain His relationship with both Israel and the Church.
• The teachings surrounding Critical Race Theory are wildly divisive and disregard the Biblical understanding that all human beings are created equal in the image of God (Genesis 1:27, Act 17:26, Galatians 3:28) and the historical account provided in Scripture detailing how nations and different ethnicities were birthed (Act 17:26, Genesis 11). Furthermore, God’s Word implores us to not look at the outward appearance but the heart (1 Samuel 16:7, John 7:24) and reject the idea of a person being inherently racist due to the actions of their ancestors (Ezekiel 18:20).
• Affirmation of the transgender and homosexual lifestyle should also not be taught to children. The Bible expressly states that transgenderism (Genesis 1:27, Deut. 22:5) and homosexuality (Lev. 18:22, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Jude 1:7) are sins that require repentance (1 Corin. 6:11, 1 John 1:9, John 3:16-17). Interestingly, the Bible also rebukes those who may not take part but work to promote and celebrate sins such as homosexuality (Romans 1:32).
• The promotion of globalism, which on its face appears to encourage unity, is problematic when Biblical prophecy is taken into consideration. The Bible speaks about a future wicked and antichrist global government that will emerge on the world scene during the “tribulation period” (Revelation 13). Various indicators in the Bible undoubtedly prove that the world is nearing this time (Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Timothy 3, etc.), and as such, we have seen a massive increase in the advocation for globalism and a one-world government.

Considering the anti-Biblical nature of the content being pushed on impressionable children, it has never been more vital for parents to be aware of what their children are being taught and take the reins of their education.

Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, in his article “We Have to Stop Pretending Public Schools Aren’t Bad,” urged Christians to not “outsource something as important as our children’s education.”

God gave parents the critical duty to Biblically educate their children, especially as the spiritual battle over the mind of young people hangs in the balance (Ephesians 6:10-24, Proverbs 22:6).
