This activity was created with the purpose to either:
A. Inflict shame on the students who meet some (if not most) of the criteria described in the bingo, at the same time to further devalue those who can’t identify with it—and by so doing, plant a seed of resentment and hate towards their “privileged” peers who are portrayed as the reason for their misery.

B. Inflict such discomfort on all students (miserables and privileged) in order to trigger their critical thinking skills by forcing them to question the bingo activity; refute it; and finally, voice their opinion. Nah, that would be giving too much credit to FCPS; I’ll stick with choice A.

Also how do you win? The person who covers the most squares? What is the assumption here that only white lids grow up in stable 2 parent homes with college educated parents who go to work? This is example of why I don’t back any of the CRT type lessons. They are so bizarre and random but white democrats love it bc it makes them feel woke. Imagine being the non white kids during these classes?

If better more accurate history books are needed, the. get those but skip these nonsense lessons.

The military kids in Oakton are likely to be children of officers.

And college is basically taken care of for them. That's huge.

Do you know how high divorce is in the military? I'm the daughter of an officer. Everyone my dad worked with was either divorced or single at 40. My mom got full custody and she made 30k a year so we were not rich, to put it nicely. My dad loved us but always put his job first and basically ignored us when he got deployed. And just because officers can pay for college doesn't mean they do. He didn't let me get a liberal arts degree and before I was even in middle school he started reminding me to check the Hispanic box instead of the Biracial box so I could get a diversity scholarship. I also didn't get any scholarships, credits, or advantage just because my dad was in the military.

Case closed.

If you think it is simply a privilege, then enlist and serve long enough to earn the benefit.

The Army is hiring right now.

The dependent children are not enlisted and do not serve in the military. Yet they receive the benefit. Reading is fundamental! Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, all the moves and relocations and all those other acronyms my military neighbors use....TDY, PCS, etc.....LOL.

How remarkably dismissive of the actual hardships military kids experience. Almost like you have a privilege that you refuse to recognize.

Of all the stupid fights for the far left to pick, deciding to go after kids in military families as "privileged" is especially stupid.

It's like the whole system now is run by frivolous people with poor judgment.

Is that really what you think happened?

Yes, clearly.

Someone over at gatehouse like the poster who is complaining about the post 911 GI bill benefit has a bone to pick with her military neighbors, and decided to define "military kids" as a disparaged privileged class in her latest CRT lesson.

Well, life is more unfair to some folks than others all other things being equal. Teaching kids to understand perceptions and innate biases is part of learning.

Exactly.

I think this idea of perspective is so important and is a skill most adults lack.

Painfully true.

And, it is now evident that it is especially true with some educators and administrators in FCPS.
Way to show "innate bias."

Do you not know what unfair means?

So is this the root of the “CRT” issue for Republicans?

They don’t want schools to teach anything related “being a good person”?

Empathy
Gratitude
Honesty
Responsibility
Respecting others
Etc

I guess they don’t want their own kids to realize they are a-holes.

They are not teaching gratitude. They are creating guilt. There is a big difference.

It is also not helpful to the less privileged. Being told you are a victim is self=-fulfilling.

And recognizing privilege is not “guilt”.

It clearly is for a lot of white people on this thread, which means they are completely missing the point of the lessons. You're (the general you) choosing to feel guilty for something that is an inherent privilege is keeping you from opening up to the sort of discourse and dialogue that could actually lead to progress

Keep your CRT crap out of the classroom or give us vouchers so we can send our kids to private school instead. Period.

Next.

And the federalist covering the daily wire like it is is laughable.

It is all over the centrist mainstream media sites and local news.

Not the far left ones like CNN, Atlantic, Huffingron, etc. They tend to be very leftist agenda driven, so they won't cover something like this.

Serious question, what does this conversation look like? What changes do you hope it could lead to? You don’t think telling teenagers that they “have privilege” could result in them feeling guilt at all? Or cause problems between peers?
