Roll back Leftist Ideological Indoctrination

WHEREAS, the Left’s “long march through the institutions” included the capture of most American educational institutions, especially the universities, graduate schools of education, and schools of library science which train teachers and librarians, influence teaching materials, and formulate supposed “best practices” for the pedagogy and administration of schools and libraries; and,

WHEREAS, in the last decade, the dominant influence of Leftist ideology in American schools and universities, though traveling under various guises, has become more apparent, more aggressive, and more immediately harmful to the education, maturation, and well-being of young Americans; now, therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Wyoming Republican Party demands that the Legislature, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and other relevant public educational authorities, including school administrators, pass laws and implement policies to remove Leftist educational ideologies—such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), pro-LGBTQ+ Gender Ideology, and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)—from the curricular,

administrative, disciplinary, and pedagogical practices of all publicly-funded libraries and educational institutions in the State of Wyoming, from K-12 to the University level; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the State of Wyoming sever ties with the American Library Association, and partner with an alternative association that is not led by a self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian”; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Legislature, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and other relevant authorities explore alternative approaches to teacher licensure requirements, so as to diminish the influence of Left-captured graduate schools and university departments of education on the next generation of Wyoming teachers and students.
