I call BS on this. If that happened I'd march my liberal white @ss right over to the school and heads would roll. Again, METAPHORICALLY. I wouldn't actually chop off heads.

?It was a child's perception. I don't know exactly what led them to say that, but I'm not the type to "march right over there" and make "heads roll."

Uh huh. I double dog dare you to get your perceptive ES child to come on here and provide three to five examples of how s/he is learning "white people are bad" every day.

NP. My ES kids have learned that for years. They don't put it that way, but they have learned about how terrible the colonists were and then how bad the early Americans were. Many times in many different lessons in most ES grades.

Well, um, yeah. The reality of colonization is an ugly story, not pumpkin pies and turkey dinners. Violence, disease, death, enslavement.... and I am descended from early colonists. I acknowledge reality but it doesn't change my self perception. Do you think all Germans are bad, are genetically bad, because of the Holocaust? I don't. I haven't met a German who seems to believe that. Yet Germany is pretty direct, aren't they? In educating their population about what happened.

So far, my ES kids haven't learned anything good about white people or about the US at all. They have learned about racism and discrimination, etc., so they're all fired up about fighting segregation and overthrowing slavery. But that's about it.

I wonder what the long term effect on these white kids' psyche will be after listening day in and day out that the white people were/are bad.

My FCPS second grader went to Jamestown with her whole class. There we discussed all kinds of aspects of what it was like to live there - cold, disease, hunger. We visited native housing reproductions. Toured a ship. Saw some videos. It was age appropriate and not about the ugly side of colonization. It was interesting and fun. So not sure what FCPS you are learning from.

Our school, like many others, doesn't do the Jamestown trip. And they've canceled Colonial Day because there's nothing good to say about the colonists, they were all terrible and nothing to celebrate.

No one can enjoy any part of history because white people are bad.

It may be an ugly story, in parts, but it's also an inspiring one with plenty to admire. The left's agenda is to compensate for past sugar-coating by now emphasizing the ugly parts at every turn (all the better to lay the groundwork for the redistribution of private property and "reparations") and denying the good. No surprise that the microaggressions are examples of white "mosquitos" saying the wrong things but nothing about, for example, anti-Semitism.

So do something about it. Join the PTA, ask about going to Jamestown, or Williamsburg. Or Mount Vernon. Or there's a ton of historical sites here where you can celebrate American history.

My kid is in 10th grade. White. Has never heard those lessons. They're probably listening to you and your whining, honestly.

Or, conversely, it's possible your kid has stopped sharing because they know they're going to get another lecture from you to the same effect.

This. Tell a group that they are the problem enough and they will react, just not in the way that you hope

Did you WATCH the video? Because it is not saying "white people" are doing this. It shows white people, women, gay people, also as recipients.

The only value of a white male to this crowd is if they are LBGTQ or in a wheelchair, or can be portrayed as an aggressor.

My high schooler had a semester all about the holocaust. Anti semitism was definitely part of the lessons.

DP. Most people are fine with learning these lessons and having difficult discussions about history at the high school level. In fact, most are fine with beginning to think more critically about our history beginning in 5th grade through middle school. What people are pushing back against is an ideology that this entire country is founded on racism and nothing else and that every person has a moral mandate to be working constantly to dismantle all racist institutions and policies (which include schools and the country itself), especially when you start teaching that to young kids. That's not what the video is doing though.

We're heading for another period of segregation, mark my words.

It already happens so often in my local community. The MLK march was only attended by a handful of white people and most of the younger POC did not want any of them there. The younger generation has more anger than any previous one I've seen before. I tell my grandson, WHY are you so angry? WHAT do you have to be so angry about? He speaks of the past like he lived it and like it was his struggles. I tell him and the younger ones all the time, you must release this anger to move forward and make progress. This anger will hold you back.

When we have a local block festival, each race keeps with their own and there is almost no comingling. The sense of community is fading. There's no more community feeling around these days. It's all 'this is MY street' and 'this is MY block' instead of 'this is MY neighborhood'. We need to bring back that community spirit. A neighbor is a neighbor regardless of skin color.

I LOVE THIS (and I am NOT white BTW!)

This is a lie. I'm calling it. This Does.Not.Happen. in FCPS. You still learn about Columbus "sailing the ocean blue", George Washington and the other Founders as fathers of the country. They still do the typical Thanksgiving lessons and meals. So GMAFB.

My kid is in 10th and hasn't learned anything about reconstruction, segregation, Jim Crow. That's just the obvious stuff.

So, yeah, you're lying.

What’s with the flamethrower?

It's the White blonde woman who turns into the mosquito.

The "mosquitos" then saying all the "microaggressions" all sound like Whites.

The victims are shown turning a flamethrower and then eventually their flyswatters on the "mosquitos."

It's not very subtle. Nor appropriate. Shame on the despicable leadership team in FCPS for allowing this crap to be shown to kids.

That impression says more about you than the video.
