[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a family whose kid will join Langley this fall, I am very interested in this discussion. I do hope that Langley follows age appropriate guidelines and leave politics to families to discuss at home. [/quote]

I used to hope that too. Langley‘s focus is on developing a “justice oriented curriculum.”  This is what the teachers did on their professional development day while the parents got a speaker to teach them about white privilege and systemic racism.  For anyone wondering, no, there were no examples were provided of actual systemic racism in existence today. [/quote]

We are white. We are immigrant. We are first generation college graduates from our own rural families from another country. We are survivors of war. So being white gives us white privilege? How. We are in this country for almost 20 years now, earning everything we have now in the hard way as immigrants here. It gives me shivers to think that my daughter will be taught that she somehow has the white privilege. And that what we have is due to white privilege? I am curious to see how the curriculum will be taught. If I see anything off, I will surely let them know. I hope they don't accuse us as racism because we are white? That would be really comical.

Yes being white does in fact give you white privilege. You can’t be this simply minded and not notice how racial dynamics play out in this country. You’re being willfully obtuse.

Don’t argue with that nonsense.  The white supremacists like to play dumb and pretend there is no white supremacy.[/quote]
