A summer camp in Portland, Oregon, is offering children the opportunity to become budding social justice warriors (SJW) while โreflecting on white supremacyโ and learning Black Lives Matter (BLM) chants about putting โkiller cops in jail.โ
The Budding Roses camp in August for fourth through eighth graders is a project of the Black Rose Anarchist Federation, a political organization promoting the tenets of anarchy that some would argue led to the Portland riots of 2020.
In June 2021, the Portland Police Association issued a press release announcing that the Portland Police Bureau Rapid Response Team resigned from their voluntary positions due to the โpolitical venomโ of local politicians who not only failed to support but demonized the team during the Portland riots that began in 2020 and continued through 2021.
The resignation is a step toward what Budding Roses teaches children in the chant, โCops and borders, We donโt need them.โ
As with many SJW goals, the campโs curriculum appears to be inflicting children with race obsession and graphic sexual concepts, as can be seen in a BLM coloring book espousing transgender affirmation and in a chant that compares the government to a rapist.
โItโs the state thatโs our oppressor, Itโs the rapist government,โ the chant reads.
The camp also has a class on โWhy Writing People in Prisons and Jails Mattersโ to instruct children on writing to incarcerated felons.
โLetter writing with incarcerated people encompasses our commitment to change, and the intersection of our priorities,โ it says. โIn order to fight for prison abolition, we must connect with and advocate for those most impacted by the prison industrial complex.โ
In its โTear Gas for Portlandersโ class, a drawing of a person inย Antifaย garb who introduces himself as โyour friendly neighborhood anti-fascistโ gives a lecture on tear gas, how itโs made, where it has been used, how much the city of Portland has spent on it, and why it shouldnโt be used.
