Oh they know that all right. That’s why they’re terrified.


Is that why so many of my conservative friends are in inter-racial marriages? Terror? Had no idea!


I bet you even invite some of them over to dinner, you may not use the good china on them, but you may at least go in for the good paper products, think "Chinette", or some similar off-brand comparable.

No. You just want to be judged objectively. Not on color.


No one is judged "objectively" IRL. That just isn't human nature. All humans are biased--it's just a question of whether you realize it or not and address it.


Part of the issue is that, at least in the US, kids are conditioned to judge. There are other societies where skin color and other variations among humans do not have value ascribed to it. So part of the goal is to try to mitigate or eliminate this judgement. For some reason, people on the right seem not to want to do this.

A Virginia high school student might feel uncomfortable learning about slavery. Obviously white kids will see themselves as the slavers and thus will feel criticized to learn how awful slavery was.

If white kids can only see themselves as the slave owners, what does that say about how they view their classmates of color?

I am disgusted by how many people seem to think that the comfort level of White kids is so important. I am NOT talking about the teachers that make the news with actions and words that they should have know better to do or say. I'm talking about the daily good people out there who want to see ALL kids succeed in a diverse society. This isn't bias, it's decent humanity. It's not indoctrination, it's dealing with the real society that we live in.


And I can't tell you how glad I am to live in Virginia and not NJ! Wow.


This teacher is why my kid was afraid to call police when sexually harrassed by two black men.


Your kid is obviously smarter than you are since they seem to understand that sexual harassment is not a crime! You are that white person that calls the cops on black people even when a crime has not been committed and yet you still don’t see your own racism! No we are not ever going to just let you continue like that without getting some push back. You could just chill out a little. You are not facing any threat to your life or property so calm down.

Yes, I'm just sure this is happening. In your fever dreams, maybe.


If you think the students are on the side of the book banning parents against the teachers who relate the real world the students live in, you don’t know kids at all.


The students I know are disgusted by surveys telling them they are inherently racist and microaggressors. It seems YOU don't know kids at all.


Those are imaginary students and imaginary surveys. That’s as delusional as it gets.


What surveys are you talking about? My DC is a recent FCPS grad. I will ask them about the survey—you’re not the only one that “knows students.” Better yet, do you have a copy?


I just posted. This happened last year. My kid is a senior. It’s discussed here at about the 5 min. mark.

https://video.foxnews.com/v/6249436885001/


PP here. Ok, I watched to the video. So we're talking about one survey at Langley HS, written by Langley teachers--not a survey that was disseminated as a required activity throughout FCPS. I agree some of the question were a bit silly. The lesson of cross-cultural/racial empathy could have been taught in much more effective ways. But, as I watched the video more, it finally got to the heart of Laura Ingraham's message: "Here empathy is weaponized [she's referring to the concept of 'allyship.']. Non-diverse students are being taught to remain silent. Don't complain. Certainly don't complain if you lose out on jobs, scholarships, or college admissions when diversity, equity, and inclusion is at stake."

This is the sentiment that animates most of the outrage on the right: the fear that someone who is not like you (different race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity etc.) will get or take something from you that is rightfully yours.

That’s made up bullshit. You are the ones who make everything about race by banning even one book that gives a black point of view of history, literature, politics, religion, or any topic. Your insistence that the only perspective allowable is school is that of the oppressive conservative white patriarchy is deplorable.


Now this is an example of made up bullshit. Please do link to books that have been banned because they “give a black point of view of any topic.” And no, “Beloved” wasn’t controversial because it was a “black POV.” It was because of the violent rape scenes. We’ll wait while you back up your ridiculous claim.
DP


“Beloved” was in AP English where it belongs. Why was that the only book targeted? Have you read Shakespeare? Have you read the Bible? Have you read Faulkner? Have you read Steinbeck? Have you read Hugo? Have you read any great novel or history? Rape, murder, cruelty, brutality, etc. are the evils that protagonists struggle to overcome. Seniors in AP English don’t need their Mommies or some dumbasses on the school board crusading to whitewash the curriculum.

The fact that you think this is something Republicans worry about (or care about) makes it blindingly clear you have no clue. But it's fun to think you had a gotcha moment, isn't it?

Hint: Republicans are simply sick to death of TALKING ABOUT RACE, period. No one cares what race you are. Well - Democrats care obsessively. But no one else.


Not only are we sick of it, but we are sick of the crime that goes along with being apologists. All races commit crimes but we are letting criminals of color get off with a slap on the wrist in some areas, leading to (wait for it) more crime. Know who that puts most in danger? Good people of color in the same communities and little children


You seem unaware that people of color receive harsher sentences than whites for the same crime. Probably because you didn’t learned about structural racism in school.

And black people are dying because of their race.

Must be nice to say race doesn't matter because your race doesn’t negatively affect your life.

A whole bunch of White people tried to overthrow the government and so far they haven’t gotten any punishment at all. It’s an indictment of your “news” sources that you honestly think that two tiered justice serves minorities.
