[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent from a foreign background, this article resonated with me. I feel lost here and feel like I no longer fit in.

The author of the article cites a few Washington DC schools:
“Georgetown Day and Sidwell Friends here in D.C..”

It doesn’t seem like any of these schools hide the fact that they embrace diversity and equity , etc. I think it’s great that many schools are embracing these things.   If a person doesn’t like a school’s ideologies they can obviously pick other schools..[/quote]

It’s about more than embracing diversity and equity. It really is o er the top breeding of social justice warriors to a ridiculous degree—only for the most privileged trust fund children who can afford it, natch. I’m a liberal btw.[/quote]

Lets not go too far here. They may embrace diversity, but their entire existence is premised on helping their students avoid equitable outcomes.[/quote]

Precisely. Don’t get carried away.

These schools would do much better to teach their students the truth which is that every wealthy society and sector of society has gotten there by exploiting another class or nationality or strata of people; that cheap labor is the foundation of prosperity for a minority; that historically the cheap labor has been black and brown people and women (and also poor white people); and that they are on a proving ground / training ground for becoming overlords themselves.

Not this nonsense that any Western society has ever achieved excellence while not also building on a foundation of abuse, bc it just isn’t true. [/quote]

No no no.

Much more manipulative and powerful to never teach context or ways of the times or what was paralleling in Asia or the Incas or tribal Africa and solely focus on Evil Whites who Came to North America. They invented slavery and indentured servitude and crop sharing and economics and trade and the caste system and bloodline royalty and taxes and schooling. None of that existed anywhere in any society ever before. Certainly not for 1000s or years everywhere else. And certainly no where today…. [/quote]

Great point.

The Aztecs were essentially the Nazis of the 15th century. So when a few years ago the new (far left) Mexican President came to power and asked Spain for historic apologies and reparations for having conquered Mexico, you know what happened?

Many non-Aztec Mexican groups attacked the President. Why? Because it was THEM, with just some aid by the newbies, who had defeated the Nazi Aztecs who had killed thousands and thousands of their children and enslaved thousands and thousands more.

You won't learn in US textbooks oh no.[/quote]
