In case we needed more reasons to let the education tax dollars (if any there must be) go to parents instead of schools, the public and private version of which should have to compete with each other and with home-schooling, there's this from
Zero Hedge:
A proposed curriculum in California for elementary and high school students would attempt to “decolonize” American society with an “ethnic studies” course.
In the course, children will be instructed in Aztec chants to various gods of human sacrifice and cannibalism, asking the gods to make them warriors for social justice.
This is all to help the children “challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs” rooted in “white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression.”
For example, Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war, was traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice. The school children will ask the deity to instill in them “a revolutionary spirit.”
The curriculum’s vision statement admits this is not about education, but rather a “tool for transformation, social, economic, and political change, and liberation.”

Is even California crazy enough to approve the proposal?
"All the facts unite" to answer your (presumably rhetorical) question.
This is what comes from ignoring traditional American authors like REH and HP Lovecraft.
"“tool for transformation, social, economic, and political change, and liberation.”"
So there will be a unit on Sam Colt, John Browning and Hiram Maxim?
The People (' La Raza ') are not against it, because Race, Religion and Revolution are weapons of war and imperialism in taking ( 'back' ) territory and forming a new government in that part of the continent ( ' Aztlan ' ).
Brown Supremacy, y'know.
They have no sense who invoke such things. Even if they are only psychological and not metaphysical entities, any reasonable person should be horrified by the effects of such a cult. Even such fearful worship did not make them strong enough to beat Cortes; and their god feasted quite often on them. It is akin to the fable in Aesop of the frogs picking themselves a king.
I've brushed against enough Uncanny things and places to be very worried about invoking Aztec deities, even for seemingly positive goals. That would be like invoking Vodoun spirits for good things - don't do it. No. Because what answers . . . No.
I've read that some parents are already planning to sue on grounds of 1st Amendment "Establishment Clause" objections. This would be a government entity favoring one faith over others, which has been a no-no since Engel v. Vitale.
