| School District Tells Principals To Create Fake Curriculum To Send Parents After Complaints Of Indoctrination |
| 2021-04-29 |
| [DailyWire] Faced with complaints from parents about the indoctrination of children, an official in Rockwood School District, Missouri, instructed teachers to create two sets of curriculum: a false one to share with parents, and then the real set of curriculum, focused on topics like activism and privilege, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire. Natalie Fallert, EdD, 6-12 Literacy Speech Coordinator, wrote to all middle and high school principals that parents had repeatedly complained that “we are pushing an agenda,” “we are pushing Critical Race Theory (I had to look this one up!),” “we are making white kids feel bad about their privilege,” we are “stereotyping,” “we are teaching kids to be social activists,” and “we are teaching kids to be democratic thinkers and activists.” Rockwood School District encompasses 20,000 students across overwhelmingly white towns west of St. Louis, including Ballwin, Chesterfield, Wildwood, and the town of Fenton, which has 15 black people, or 0.3% of the population. It includes four high schools, all of which were ranked among the top 20 in Missouri by U.S. News & World Report. It is currently searching for a new interim superintendent. |

| #15 FALLERT, 41, lives at 3527 Gracie Waggoner Road. She and her husband, Derrick, have two children. She is the coordinator of literacy and speech for grades 6-12 for the RockwoodSchool District. She received a bachelor’s degree in communication management and public relations from MissouriStateUniversity in 1998, a master’s degree in education and classroom teaching from MissouriBaptistUniversity in 2005 and is pursing a doctorate degree in education and teacher leadership at MaryvilleUniversity. She is a member and teaches children’s church at GoodNewsCommunityChurch, volunteers with the Boy Scouts and has been an ACT tutor. She is a member of the National Council Teachers of English, International Literacy Association and Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. She taught high school English in the district from 2010-2017 before taking her current job with Rockwood. What are the biggest problems facing the school district and how would you address them? Fallert: Technology and innovation have changed the world, and our schools need to continually make adjustments to ensure students are prepared. These changes need to be research and curricular-based so the district is being good stewards of tax dollars. The district needs to sustain an innovative and secure environment that fosters student growth and attracts and retains top teachers. My passion for education and professional career keep me abreast of research-based educational practices. Why should voters elect you to this position? List your goals, if elected. Fallert: My professional experience of 18 years in public education teaching English, working on professional development and writing curriculum and assessments have given me a unique advantage to serve on the board. I will earn a doctorate in education next month from MaryvilleUniversity, where I have been schooled in educational areas of finance, law, coaching and ethics. As the mother of 8-year-old twin boys, I plan to use my professional knowledge and passion for education to keep the community focused on our most prized possessions and their academic futures. |

| #7 Went to school during segregation until 8th grade when desegregation was implemented. Black students were way behind. To cover the lack of learning up black schools faked a lot of things per black student discussions with their new white teachers. |

| #4 I'll bet a few of these 'administrators' getting tarred and feathered might help them self-correct. |

| #3 ...Note that there's nothing about Dr Fallert being reassigned/suspended/fired. The only thing RSD is sorry for is that she got caught. Mike |

| #1 instructed teachers to create two sets of curriculum... That might be difficult for most of the faculty as 'Original Thought' has been discouraged in Education for decades, and they were probably never taught how to perform that. |
