NYC School teaching kindergartners about white privilege and anti-white propaganda 7

When political correctness goes so far it's actually literally insane...
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/02/elite-nyc-school-teaching-kindergartners-about-white-privilege.htm
Quote:
An elite Manhattan school is teaching white students as young as 6 that they’re born racist and should feel guilty benefiting from “white privilege,” while heaping praise and cupcakes on their black peers.
Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side claim it’s a novel approach to fighting discrimination, and that several other private New York schools are doing it, but even liberal parents aren’t buying it.
They complain the K-8 school of 430 kids is separating whites in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” and all the “kids of color” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges.
“Ever since Ferguson, the school has been increasing anti-white propaganda in its curriculum,” said a parent who requested anonymity because he has children currently enrolled in the school.
Bank Street has created a “dedicated space” in the school for “kids of color,” where they’re “embraced” by minority instructors and encouraged to “voice their feelings” and “share experiences about being a kid of color,” according to school presentation slides obtained by The Post.
Meanwhile, white kids are herded into separate classrooms and taught to raise their “awareness of the prevalence of Whiteness and privilege,” challenge “notions of colorblindness (and) assumptions of ‘normal,’ ‘good,’ and ‘American’” and “understand and own European ancestry and see the tie to privilege.”
The same slides point out that a number of leading private schools across the country also have segregated students by “race-based affinity groups.” It lists several in New York, including Riverdale Country School, Brooklyn Friends School, The Cathedral School, The Calhoun School, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, and Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School.
Under Bank Street’s “Racial Justice and Advocacy” curriculum, parents say, teachers push white kids to grapple with America’s history of racism. Then they indoctrinate them into thinking “systemic racism” still exists, and that they’re part of the problem and must hold themselves accountable even for acts of racism committed by others.
“One hundred percent of the curriculum is what whites have done to other races,” said another Bank Street parent. “They offer nothing that would balance the story.”
Added the parent, who also asked to go unnamed: “Any questions they can’t answer they rationalize under the pretense of ‘institutional racism,’ which is never really defined.”
The program, these parents say, deliberately instills in white children a strong sense of guilt about their race. Some kids come home in tears, saying, “I’m a bad person.”
Can you even imagine what would happen if this were the other way around.. and black kids were being separated and told they should feel ashamed for being black.. while the white kids were given cupcakes and treats? There would be riots.

All this kind of bullshit does is create a cultural backlash, feeding the antagonism of anyone who doesn't buy it. Instead of allowing racism and sexism to slowly die out, they're feeding the flames to keep it alive.
Ironically, PC textbooks often acknowledge backlash when ascribed in the other direction (such as the resurgence of child marriage in India following a British ban on the act).
The people who buy into this PC bullshit are invariably impotent, meek and weak chinned. That's the attitude which is being promoted, insecurity and weakness, sheltered by unordinary peace. Whenever the West starts having a hard time again with inter-Western wars, that segment of the population won't last.

Is there something really intimidating about the white population in America or something? Why is there so much effort put towards demonizing white people, specifically straight white males? These people clearly aren't against racism, this is just going to turn some of those white kids into bigots out of resentment and I wouldn't blame them at this point. Unfortunate it'll turn the rest into whiny self hating pushovers.
I hope there will be plenty of parents pulling their kids out of those schools, or at the very least teaching them to speak out against the ones teaching this garbage. White privilege is not a thing, minority privilege damn sure is though.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Good for them. People need to be exposed to these concepts in early childhood, or they grow up into oversensitive adults who get all defensive and butthurt whenever somebody brings up their privilege.

Translation: Young children need to be taught to be offended by everything so we can perpetuate this PC nonsense and we don't look like the butthurt tards we really are.
Seriously, when you're the one that's getting offended at every turn, it's you who is butthurt. Not the people who balk at the idea of "white privilege".

I read the nyt article pris posted. There's definitely some things that are over the top but i applaud schools' efforts to get kids to think about race. I don't think it's a good idea to be "colorblind" because in those environments kids will just self segregate as always and socialize with other kids that look like them. Race as a social construct exists whether anyone agrees whether it exists biologically or not and it should be addressed early in people's lives.
I don't think it's healthy for us as a society to self segregate, we need to address race but not in a way that teaches people to seek victimization of themselves. America probably is among the least racist of countries in the world but that doesn't mean we can't do better.

More irony, you're promoting a doctrine which doesn't even allow the use of hundreds of words. Be very careful or you might hurt someone's precious little feelings.

Honestly, I'm not sure why this is making the news. Shoving white guilt down the throats of young students has been the norm since I was in elementary school in the 80s. Regularly we were told how great Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans are and how shitty white people are. Minority's culture is put on a pedestal with the evils of their ancestors minimized, excused and out right ignored. Meanwhile, as a white kid I was never taught that I even had a cultural heritage, which is ridiculous. And every time a white person did something terrible they describe it as something "we" did, as though a modern 4th grader actually committed those terrible acts.
This continued on through college and grad school where we were regularly lectured for being too white, too male, too racist and too privileged. Of course no attempt was made to actually get to know our story, our struggles and our triumphs. Our skin color is all they need to make their judgement. In graduate school during orientation some racist diversity czar actually, and literally said, that its not good enough that we have more minorities enrolled by percentage than are in the population. We needed whites to be even more under-represented and we should be ashamed of ourselves.
White guilt is the prevailing racism of our time. It permeates our culture and way of thinking like the air we breath. And like the air we breath its so pervasive that the population just accepts it and lives life without challenging the idea.

It's not about "being offended". It's about recognizing that racial and class disparities are manmade. People get taught wrong about this shit for the most part, sorry to say but it's true. Race relations in this country are shit and people need to understand what's been going on and how we got here and what it means. It's... y'know... education. I know, it's radical, but that's what schools were originally for.

Why should schools even be teaching young students about race?
If the children "self segregate", so be it.

Idk what schools you went to but I've had private schooling for most of my life and my education has been very eurocentric. All my history classes were only about western history and all my literature classes was english and american literature. It wasn't until college when i expicitly took a class in eastern religion and philosophy or modern middle eastern history was it any different.
