[quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s like the old lesson that you don’t build someone up by tearing down others has been tossed out the window. The whole focus is on tearing down people perceived as “privileged”. That will not lead to good outcomes.[/quote]

What happened to building self-esteem?  It's been some years since I taught, but that used to be the big push.  I believe self-esteem is extremely important to kids who are in school.

If you tell your kid that he won't be able to do something because the cards are stacked against him--how hard do you think he will try?  Sure, there may be some who see it as a challenge--but that is not the norm.  
I've seen kids quit sports because they aren't "good" enough to win all the time.  Self-defeating attitude.

No good is coming from this.  I sometimes wonder if a lot of the crime in DC is the result of victimhood.

No child benefits from being told that he is a victim.  As for the privilege, that needs to come from home.  Making kids at school feel guilty because of privilge is not helpful.  Gratitude for privilege is one thing--but these games are teaching guilt.
