He said it made him feel awful and he can’t help it if he is male, white, straight and wealthy. I just explained that he needs to be aware of his privileges and work to help others not as fortunate. Is this really a big deal? I want my kid to make the world a better place, and this seems to be a move in that direction.


Be careful and watch what the internet algorithm sends your son. This is creating a huge backlash and honestly their young brains are not old enough to understand these nuances, so it is backfiring is a scary way with some kids. Parents need to do a lot of damage control here.


My child takes it this way as well. She feels bad and needs to told to be happy and proud of who she is -/yet the school is telling her the exact opposite. Our oldest was thrilled to move on to college and out of that guilt laden racist environment her school created.


In less your kids have a trust fund, they aren't wealthy, you are. They have no money and benefit from your wealth.


? They assignment didn’t differentiate by whites w trust funds and whites without them. It generalized that all are privileged and guilty.


Where in this assignment did the teacher assign guilt or blame?
