The ugly anti-white racism that underlies wokeness is a cancer in our communities, intentionally designed to foment racial friction, resentment, and guilt. This neo-Marxist poison was first injected into universities and eventually seeped all the way down to the youngest levels of our educational system, where woke administrators and teachers wield this ideological weapon to indoctrinate, divide, and even punish children – the most innocent among us. Hand in hand with this divisive strategy is the state’s agenda to transfer authority over children from their own parents to these administrators and teachers, while denying parents even an awareness of the schools’ facilitation of everything from birth control to sex changes for the kids. However much you are outraged by the anti-family grooming and anti-white racism of such administrators and teachers, it isn’t enough.
My friend Kira Davis – Fox News contributor, author, RedState Editor-at-Large, podcast hostess, and frequent Dan Bongino fill-in – posted an exclusive at RedState two years ago about a California mother named Chelsea Boyle, whose then-7-year-old daughter was punished for the grievous sin of drawing a Black Lives Matter-related picture for her friends which suggested that “any life” matters. As we grownups are all painfully aware, the Marxist revolutionaries of BLM denounce as racist the reasonable sentiment that All Lives Matter because it does not sufficiently acknowledge the (nonexistent) genocide of black males at the hands of a racist police force. Thus, the woke principal at Viejo Elementary School in Mission Viejo decided to make an example of the little girl, who is white.
After a 2021 school lesson on BLM (for first-graders), Boyle’s empathetic daughter (referred to in a recent lawsuit as “B.B.” to protect her privacy) drew a picture of her friends of all different races, and in childlike lettering, wrote “Black Lives mater [sic]” on it, with the added sentiment, “any life.”
The picture went home with one of B.B.’s friends, who is black. That girl’s parents reportedly called the school to complain about a possible racial intent in the drawing. Viejo Elementary School principal Jesus Becerra then questioned B.B. about the drawing. He decided the drawing was “racist and inappropriate,” noting that including the phrase “any life” alongside “Black Lives Matter” was “inconsistent with values taught in the school.” He told B.B. she was not allowed to draw any more pictures for her friends, and she was forced to apologize to her friend on the playground in front of fellow students and school staff.
In addition, B.B. had her recess time revoked for two weeks and was forced to sit on a bench while her classmates played. As if this abuse weren’t disturbing enough, Becerra never even notified the parents. B.B. kept quiet in her shame and dismay, and it was a full year later before Boyle accidentally learned of all this from a friend. Boyle was never informed even though she volunteered hundreds of hours in the classroom and at school events.
“My immediate reaction,” Boyle told Kira Davis,
is just…I feel like I got hit by a bus, but I didn’t understand it. And I thought, oh, you know, my daughter has just been discriminated against. And I didn’t even want to contact a lawyer, but I just didn’t know what had happened to us.
[…]
I don’t teach [about] Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, [or] anything in my house because I think my children are too young [for politics]. My children see color as a color, as a description. I am trying to raise them the way the world should be, not the way it is. That’s how I’m trying to make my personal change. [H]er best friend is brown — not black, but brown — and she didn’t understand why she didn’t matter, why her friend didn’t matter. She has another friend that is Japanese; she doesn’t understand.
Boyle was heartbroken and immediately shot an angry email to Becerra and other district officials, who had the arrogance not even to respond. Boyle sent a second, more restrained message requesting a formal apology to the daughter and to the other child’s family, who apparently never wanted B.B. to be punished in the first place. Boyle got only a terse reply from Becerra and essentially silence from school board reps. As Davis writes, Boyle “was denied the opportunity to lodge her complaints in the timely manner supposedly guaranteed by the official disciplinary procedural guidelines, [and] the school board was not able to provide any resolution either.”
Chelsea Boyle filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the school district, but the federal district court upheld the school’s actions, reasoning that, in the classroom, elementary school students simply have no First Amendment rights. Did you catch that? Woke educators constantly assert that children’s rights should outrank parental authority, but when it comes to little white children who innocently challenge BLM orthodoxy, they have no rights.
The Pacific Legal Foundation took up Boyle’s case at no charge, and last week filed an appeal asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the lower court ruling and restore the free speech rights of all students, including first-graders: “An elementary school is not a totalitarian environment in which students have no rights. The district court was wrong to claim otherwise and set a dangerous precedent, totally stripping elementary school students of their First Amendment rights.”
Regardless of how this appeal plays out, Principal Becerra’s actions (not to mention the complicity of other teachers and school staff) constitute child abuse, on the most basic level, by a school official who should be canned and barred from working with children ever again. On another level, this racist, woke abuse was no different from Communist struggle sessions in which dissidents are humiliated, ostracized, and forced to publicly apologize for “incorrect” beliefs. Only, in this instance, the dissident was too young even to understand what dissidence is, much less to be held responsible for unwittingly expressing a politically unacceptable statement, for which she was emotionally brutalized by a cruel adult ideologue “of color” who felt morally justified because the little girl is white.
Wokeness is a poison, and every adult involved in the mistreatment of this child, from the principal Jesus Becerra to any teachers who were aware of it and did not object, must be held accountable and driven out of education. Parents must organize and relentlessly pursue accountability in every school where wokeness reigns, until this systematic abuse of our youth is eradicated.
Chelsea boyle’s daughter sees “color as a color, as a description”?
Too Late.
I hope Ms Boyle doesn’t punish her daughter. B. B., as B. B. increasingly expresses a view of black as, by way of description, *the enemy color* as she grows older.
As B. B. gets in fights defending herself, I hope Ms Boyle backs her to the hilt.
MLK would not approve of this kind of stuff
The blatant racism by the schools must end
The DoE will get right on that for you, along with the DOJ/FBI/CIA/ATF/IRS/NSA…
Expect a no-knock warrant to be served at 3am by a Federal Swat Team.
“CA 7-Yr-Old Punished as Racist for ‘Any Life Matters’ Drawing.” This anti-White racism, and the wokism pestilence infsting our public schools is directly related to the stand-up of the Department of Education in 1979, and the subsequent enabling of the nation-wide unionization of public school teachers. It is time for the US Department of Education to be disbanded and unplugged from Federal funding.
Yes, it’s their unwavering agenda ……. anti-white racism and anti-“common sense.”
“every adult involved in the mistreatment of this child, from the principal Jesus Becerra to any teachers who were aware of it and did not object, must be held accountable and driven out of education”. I agree.
Is the woke narrative so fragile that the left has to quash a seven-year-old for innocently standing up for the obvious?
yes.
to ask is to answer.
By definition, today’s “democrat” defines a variety of mental disorders.
demonically insane – is this what our society has become?
Conservatives are too dam soft, first I would take my kid out of that school then I would go beat the sht out of that pannsy principle
I think you mean “Republicans” are too damned soft.
(Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, both Bushes, McCain were only “conservative” when it gave them an appearance they deemed favorable.
Any slight challenge would see them all shrink from conviction. (Kinda sad.)
Here’s is the link to Viejo Elementary School. Bigot Becerra does receive messages and I suggest you flood his link with them. He is a typical bigot and a racist who deserves his comeuppance – being fired and more.

Thank you AZ. I write letters, but will also e-mail.
(I think it goes without saying, many of us are so sick of this insane bullshit.)
Sacrificing our precious children at the altar of wokeness is a vulgar tribute to the fragile egos of the hypersensitive ideologues. Their egos will destroy any young innocent child that gets in their way. If we don’t see these educators as adolescent woke pimps, then there will be only faint apologetic resistance.
Is that little girl worth fighting for? Are there any adults in the California School Systems? Apparently there aren’t.
Parents are responsible for training their children and preparing them to be responsible adults. The educators are not to inject their ideological onto the immature minds. Perhaps these educators can’t resist brainwashing the undeveloped minds with their opinions of how their absurd world should be.
The parents will be held responsible for defending their children’s undeveloped intellect. Who else will protect them?
Using the courts is good but parents should never let educators rob their children of their youth.
In the beginning of America, the Federal government was not in control of educating children, but education was local. Let’s eliminate the teachers union and woke Department of Education immediately and give the task of educating our children back to the local communities. This action would eliminate 90% of the problems with this inept indoctrination of otherwise innocent children.
Little mentioned in this article is the family who COMPLAINED about the picture. Why do they get off with no accountability? They are the reason this became a school issue yet they “never want her punished in the first place”.? Then WHY did they complain? THEY are the people who took issue with “all life” matters. Did THEY ask the principal NOT to punish her once they knew what was happening to her? Did they call the principal and ask that the punishment be stopped? There is NO WAY that the other kids (theirs included) did not know BB was being ostracized and punished. Have they apologize to BB and her family? This was a 7-year old! She was treated like vermin for innocently believing that ALL OF HER FRIENDS mattered, not just the “black” ones. That is TRUTH! Yes, the school is a mess and should lose in a lawsuit, but the family that started it all is culpable also. Not sure how that should be handled by BB’s family, but a public apology would be nice.
Why would thenparents whose child received the picture call the principal and say it had racist intent? Why not call amd talk to BBs mom? They said they didnt want her to be punished but they overracted to a pocture drawn by a 7 year old.
I would be curious if Principal Bacerra has La Raza or MecHa in his background, both Racist anti-American organizations.
Yeah, that’s the woke 3-R’s: Racism, racism, racism.
