The California Department of Education has proposed an ethnic studies "model curriculum" that includes, among other things, chanting the names of Aztec gods in an attempt to build unity among schoolchildren.
Included in the draft curriculum is a list of "lesson resources" with a chant based on "In Lak Ech," which it describes as "love, unity, mutual respect," and "Panche Be," which it describes as "seeking the roots of truth."
The chant starts with a declaration that "you are my other me" and "if I do harm to you, I do harm to myself." Before chanting the name of the Aztec god Tezkatlipoka, the text reads: "Seeking the roots of the truth, seeking the truth of the roots, elders and us youth, (youth), critical thinking through."
Tezkatlipoka is the name of an Aztec god that was honored with human sacrifice. According to the World History Encyclopedia, an impersonator of Tezkatlipoka would be sacrificed with his heart removed to honor the deity. In Aztec mythology, Tezkatlipoka is the brother of Quetzalcoatl, Huizilopochtli and Xipe Totec -- all of whom appear to be invoked (as in the occult) in the proposed chant.
A linked video showed what appeared to be students engaging in a unity chant with some of the language described. Another chant used the term "Hunab Ku," or "One-God," which Encyclopedia Brittanica identified as a Mayan deity.
That portion of the chant reads:
"we’re here to transform the world we’re spiraling, rotating & revolving in, giving thanks daily, tlazokamati, giving thanks daily, tlazokamati, healing & transforming as we’re evolving in this universe, universe, of Hunab Ku, Hunab Ku, x2 Nahui OlIin Lak Ech - Panche Beh, Ethnic Studies For All, Represent!!"
Reported by Discovery Institute researcher Chris Rufo, the curriculum was just one of many diversity programs to gain attention in recent months. Much of its language and content bears resemblance to other programs that have been associated with critical race theory -- an unbiblical way of analyzing identity that has been the subject of intense debate.
In order to justify this pagan practice, the California curriculum argues that the program would help ‘marginalized groups’ — the holy grail of leftward paganism.
The people behind such strange actions are not irreligious, they are actually devout, eager to evangelize our nation’s children to religious paganism.
You may recall Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, prayed to the the ancient jaguar goddess Lxchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also
"the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.”
Climate change is heavily invested into paganism.
There is a magnetic interconnection between hard leftism and paganism, as both of them reject the Judeo-Christian God and the Scriptures that He revealed. Wise Adventists will cling to the Bible and the One Who gave it, rejecting any and all pagan influences as apostate.
As liberal churches adopt pagan practices they become more and more apostate, Protestant in name only.

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
