A city public school principal is asking parents to “reflect” on their “whiteness” — passing out literature that extols “white traitors’’ who “dismantle institutions,” education officials confirmed to The Post on Tuesday.
Please some please!!!! Explain how this does not PROMOTE racism?
A public institution forcing racial propaganda on white kids to have them “reflect” on their whiteness to make them feel guilty or otherwise embarrassed by being white!!!!!!?????!!!!
That is the exact definition of systemic racism.
What the heII is going on!!!!! This is public government school system!!!!!
It is really interesting. I have young children that aren't

school age yet, and I'm very interested in how much of these types of exercises make their way into our local school's curriculum. I just can't see subjecting my children to this sort of nonsense.

If you are white you are guilty! If you are a white kid you should fell guilty for what you did your entire life! It’s that simple !
If you read the definitions - it appears to be trolling

white folks - almost to the point of being a joke. But some "woke" white folks saw it and decided to show their "wokeness" by embracing the chart as real.
so why don’t we just have the posse stand down for a bit. These things happen all the time when an individual educator lets their personal views/opinion override their better judgement. It is funny though that FOx doesn’t publicize these things when a principal somewhere else wants to ban certain books or starts the school day with a prayer.
And here is his "work" - read the titles. And, I'll refer back to a recent thread on educated people being stupid. This guy is a PhD in Government (Ideology and Discourse Analysis). Say what?

but was interested to learn that I am a liberal now. My liberal friends will get a kick out of that. Has the pub party run so far to the right that they have left us moderates in no man’s land?
Which is fine, the label doesn’t bother me...I believe what I believe...and I can live with that. I am pretty repulsed by the Trump wing of the pub party and those that put their faith before their responsibility to govern...so maybe thats what you pick up on.
So is there equal outrage about the school in Utah that was allowing families to "opt out" of learning about black history, as if it isn't American history?
I was a part of the public education system for 22 years. I think you will find teachers and their presentation of materials to be center to center right.
Of course from your reactionary outpost everything looks skewed to the left.
Between my decade+ in school and my kids, I'd have to get a calcumalator to figure out how many years I've been a part of the public (and private for a bit) education system. Been way more than 22 years - probably same for you if you count kids.
Maybe it is not only a function of location but also a function of student age/grade. Certainly the universities lean far left.
Elementary/middle = center or center right high school = center or center left University/college = far left.
If you are in a large school district near a large city, I would think the majority of even high schools go left.
