I mean, not only does it have the potential to pit kids in a diverse environment against each other due to their ancestry, it's intellectually lazy. They're not actually learning anything if all thats the only fact they need to know, the one that explains everything.
Sadly, MCPS has always had the students self-segregate and they continue to. Instead of bring students and families together they are pushing them further apart. Kids shouldn't be blamed for their ancestry as they had nothing to do with it nor can change what happened.
The kids can change what happens going forward, but the right doesn’t want them to do it frightens white and Asian parents with the DEI boogeyman.
Do you raise how much racism is against Jews and Asians in mcps. Why does it scare you to admit racism is more than just white people being racist against blacks. And minorities are the majority at many MoCo’s schools.
I've heard some posters claim the race-blind magnet selection process that picks mostly Asians is racist against Asians.
Well, the magnet selection process was changed to increase the number of black and Hispanic kids in the program. Instead of harming white people like they wanted to, Asians were caught in the crossfire and took almost all of the impact.
Why do you think the intent was to harm Whites? That’s a wild claim considering that the number of White boys with disabilities greatly increased under the new process.
Because MCPS openly talks about whiteness as being bad, wants to decenter whiteness, and lessen white privilege. And several MCPS schools held up CRT author Kendi as the answer to racism. If you're not familiar with Kendi, he says discrimination against whites is a necessary component of anti-racism.
It’s true that being white and “white privilege” are negatives. There is a shame that comes with being white. I don’t know if this is actively being taught in the schools or if kids are just picking it up from the media or social media.
It's very dangerous. I think there's a lot of well-intentioned white (and biopic) people pushing this narrative because they think it rights history that don't understand how dangerous this way of thinking can be. Their ancestors would tell them. Looking at actual history might also offer a clue. Looking at places in the world that have fallen into this trap might also do some good.
I just want to congratulate all you well-intentioned people again for inventing a white cause. What was once fringe lunatics sitting off in Idaho is becoming something much more terrifying.
There is also a huge assumption that all the whites who are in this country now had ancestors in this country during slavery or even the civil rights, which isn't true. It also assumes that every white person was wealthy and owned slaves, and the reality is very few owned slaves. It also assumes that all whites supported slavery, which also wasn't true. It likewise assumes that only whites were involved in slavery, which isn't true, or that only the US was involved in the slave trade, which also wasn't true.
