MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (CITC) — A California school district is requiring students to draft social media posts in support of social movements, sparking outrage with a parents' rights group.

The Mountain View-Los Altos Unified High School District (Mountain View-Los Altos) uses a third-party curriculum for its required ethnic studies course, according to documents obtained by advocacy group Parents Defending Education (PDE) and shared exclusively with Crisis in the Classroom (CITC). The curriculum is modeled after one by the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Consortium, which states on its website that it aims to equip students with "skills to participate in community advancement, social justice and transformative change."

Goals of the curriculum used in Mountain View-Los Altos include teaching students to "critique empire-building in history and its relationship to White supremacy, racism, and other forms of power and oppression" and connect to "resistance movements that struggle for social justice on the global and local levels," according to the documents obtained by PDE.
