San Diego Unified removes affirmation from ethnic studies curriculum following divine manifestation
Prayer Scare
“Hi kids, I need lots of human blood in order to keep my divine sisters and brothers at bay as I chase them through the sky. I see Mrs. Foley has already prepared the sacrificial altar and blade so that your still-beating hearts may be cut out and raised aloft in my honor. Raise your hand if you’re ready to volunteer!”
Last year, California became the first state in the country to make ethnic studies a high school graduation requirement (starting in 2026), and San Diego Unified was one the first districts to implement its model curriculum. That curriculum employed a chant based on the Aztec concept of Nahui Ollin, also called The Four Movements. While some scholars insist this is nothing more than a beneficial psychological practice, one of the movements is in fact named after Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of both the sun and war, to whom countless thousands of humans were sacrificed during the Aztecs’ reign. And according to District spokeswoman Sasha Ackwitty, “Last week at Randall Elementary School in North Park, the ancient god apparently mistook the chant for a prayer, and showed up looking for his customary oblation. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, the District had decided to delete the affirmation from the curriculum going forward.”
