This story
has been getting a fair amount of attention:
It is
consistent with the spirit of the age, which is further illustrated in the
proposed curriculum of California’s public schools:
. . . The religious narrative is even more
disturbing. Cuauhtin developed a related “mandala” claiming that white
Christians committed “theocide” against indigenous tribes, killing their gods
and replacing them with Christianity. White settlers thus established a
regime of “coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide,” characterized by the
“explicit erasure and replacement of holistic Indigeneity and humanity.”
The solution, according to Cuauhtin and the ethnic studies curriculum, is to
“name, speak to, resist, and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial
condition” in a posture of “transformational resistance.” The ultimate goal is
to “decolonize” American society and establish a new regime of
“countergenocide” and “counterhegemony,” which will displace white Christian
culture and lead to the “regeneration of indigenous epistemic and cultural
futurity.”
This religious concept is fleshed out
in the model curriculum’s official “ethnic studies community chant.” The
curriculum recommends that teachers lead their students in a series of
indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the “In Lak Ech
Affirmation,” which appeals directly to the Aztec gods. Students first clap and
chant to the god Tezkatlipoka—whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human
sacrifice and cannibalism—asking him for the power to be “warriors” for “social
justice.” Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl,
Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking “healing epistemologies” and “a
revolutionary spirit.” Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of
war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule.
Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for “liberation,
transformation, [and] decolonization,” after which students shout “Panche beh!
Panche beh!” in pursuit of ultimate “critical consciousness.”

Dr Joseph
Farrell’s comments are worth a look:
. . . I suspect there's an agenda here, and
I'm going to crawl right to the end of the twig and off of it, and state
clearly what I think it is: I think these leftist Marxist nuts fully intend to
reintroduce human sacrifice, and that their goal is to tie it to "social
activism" in order to cloak it. They fully intend to sacrifice
people - like they have everywhere else they've obtained power - to the great
"god" of Marxist dialectic, and that sacrifice is no longer to be
tied simply to babies in the womb. Everyone is on the cannibalistic menu. And
somehow, in their twisted "logic", the implication is that putting an
end to the thousands and thousands of Aztec human sacrifices was
"dehumanizing." The Spanish committed atrocities in the New World. So
did the French, the Portuguese, the British, and later, the Americans (think of
Wounded Knee, for example). But the record of some of those
"indigenous peoples" is not spotless and no less - if not more -
dehumanizing.
In my book The Grid of the Gods, I
noted the following:
We now come to
confront the issue of human sacrifice in Aztec culture, as it is recounted in
the Codex Chimalpopoca, directly. In one place, the account states that
in the year 1487, or the year 8 Reed as the Aztecs called it, some 80,400
prisoners were sacrificed on the step of the pyramid at Tenochtitlan, the Aztec
capital. Indeed, the numbers are so staggering that one begins to wonder if
the whole vast program of Aztec conquest was really driven by a perceived
"need" to a constant supply of sacrificial victims.
However, that same Codex
makes it very clear that the god who was considered by the Aztecs themselves to
have founded their civilization, Quetzlcoatl, forbade it. (Joseph P. Farrell, Grid
of the Gods, pp. 207-208, boldface emphases added)
The mind, and the heart, boggles, not
the least because, in its rush to invoke an Aztec god of sacrifice, that this
significant point of Aztec culture and belief was completely ignored, perhaps
because in Aztec tradition, Quetzlcoatl was himself a red-haired, blue-eyed,
"white" god, and perhaps also because those same Aztec sources
indicate that human sacrifice was instituted by "devils":
The Toltecs were
engaged (in battle) at a place called Netlapan. And when they had taken
captives, human sacrifice also got started, as Toltecs sacrificed their
prisoners. Among them and in their midst the devil Yaotl folllowed along.
Right on the spot he kept inciting them to make human sacrifices....
Indeed, every kind of
human sacrifice that there used to be got started then.... it was the devils
who started them. (Grid of the Gods, p. 208, citing History and
Mythology of the Aztecs: the Codex Chimalpopoca, trans. from the Nahuatl by
John Bierhorst, p. 118)
I call this a material omission, one
step up from bad scholarship from a so-called "curriculum designer".
And it's not at all surprising that it's being done in Nuttyfornia, because
those omissions betoken that what is really being pressed is an agenda.
And as the Codex Chimalpopoca
itself indicates, that agenda is a diabolical one.

For more on
the Aztec gods who will be honored in this curriculum:
For an idea
of what this ‘counter genocide’ in North America could look like, there is this
episode from the heathen reaction to Christianity in Phoenicia in the 4th
hundredyear:
The historian Theodoritus relates that
during the reign of Saint Constantine the Great, Saint Cyril destroyed many
idols and pagan temples in Heliopolis, Phoenicia. He was put to death for this
during the reign of Julian the Apostate. Pagans cut open his stomach and, like
wild beasts, they ate his liver and intestines, for which the Lord punished
them with blindness, boils and other terrible afflictions. . . .
If the
enemies of Christianity are intent on chanting to the demonic Aztec ‘gods’, Christians
should be no less hesitant about singing hymns to the Orthodox Saints of North
America, who are true gods, made so by their participation in the Uncreated
Grace of the All-Holy Trinity:
As the bountiful harvest of Your sowing of
salvation,
The lands of North America offer to You, O
Lord, all the saints who have shone in them.
By their prayers keep the Church and our
land in abiding peace
Through the Theotokos, O most Merciful One.
Today the choir of Saints who were pleasing
to God in the lands of North America
Now stands before us in the Church and
invisibly prays to God for us.
With them the angels glorify Him,
And all the saints of the Church of Christ
keep festival with them;
And together they all pray for us to the
Pre-Eternal God.

They will be
the strong knights to protect California and all of North America, and the
tender doctors to heal us - if we will let them.
***
This fits
with the overall theme as well and needs to mentioned:
Holy Saints of
North America, save us unworthy sinners!
--
Holy Ælfred
the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to
the Union!
