Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 106 Did you know the focus in education is about to change again? It is. While we've rightly been focused on fighting CRT, Queer Theory, SEL, DEI, and all manner of issues in the schools to protect our kids, a big shift has been being prepared and is likely to be about to launch. Schools in the coming year or two are very likely to lurch into direct instruction into activism to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030. The documentation from entities like the WEF and UNESCO already makes this clear, but in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through a document from the NEA Foundation, the charitable arm of the largest national teachers union, to show that they not only have these plans but have adopted well-developed curriculum guides to start distributing to teachers and school administrators, right down to detailed lessons on topics like hunger and starvation in kindergarten. These plans will, of course, be UN and World Economic Forum compliant, as they tell us themselves. Join James in this episode to get a preview of the next big fight in education.

0:46.2	did a four-part series on a document put out by UNESCO that was dedicated to the idea,
0:54.2	I called it the strange death of the university, and it's dedicated to the idea that the university
0:58.1	has to remake itself to be an outlet to train young people into being the activists who
1:06.1	will accomplish the sustainable development goals of the United Nations agenda 2030, which
1:11.6	of course the second you say United Nations agenda.
1:15.2	People immediately think that you're talking about a conspiracy theory, even though literally
1:18.2	they've got like a thousand websites about it, detailing it, telling you what it's supposed
1:22.6	to be outlining the 17 goals and the 169 targets in tremendous detail, talking about steps
1:28.2	and progress and blah, blah, blah.
