Parents in Portland, Oregon, can now send their kids to a free social justice summer camp founded by anarchists.
The group called ‘Budding Roses’ is a Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Foundation project. They plan to hold a free two-week summer camp this month for children in the 4th through 8th grades.
The website indicates students at the camp will explore โsocial justice issues, youth leadership, arts activism, games and more.โ
โWe believe that empowering youth to become critically engaged with social justice issues lays the groundwork for transformational social change tomorrow and today,โ Budding Roses says on its website.
Part of the social change they seek is expressed in the chants they teach the children, such as, โCops and borders, We donโt need them.โ
The campโs curriculum appears to inflict children with race obsession and graphic sexual concepts. According to Epoch Times, they use a BLM coloring book espousing transgender affirmation and in a chant that compares the government to a rapist.
Isn’t that lovely?
The campโs website adds that the camp was inspired by โglobal examples of mutual aid and popular education projects,โ such as โthe Black Panthers free breakfast programโ and โPaolo Friereโs Pedagogy of the Oppressed.โ
Among the resourcesย listedย on the Budding Roses camp website is a โProtest and Chant Book,โ a โTear Gas for Portlandersโ guide, a guided โwalking tour of radical Portland,โ and other activist-related materials.
A โPolice Abolition Activityโ and โWhite Supremacy Reflection Activityโ are also listed within the Budding Rosesโ curriculum.
Something we noticed the other day is that our friends at Budding Roses in Portland are holding their summer camp in person.
If you are able and want to, give them a little help on their crowdfunding! (Link in next tweet.) pic.twitter.com/QTcpwbAp4Q
