[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year Burgundy Farm had my middle school child list his privileges. I was fine with it, but my child was upset. He said[b] it made him feel awful[/b] 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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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

Where in this assignment did the teacher assign guilt or blame?[/quote]
