Guest Post by Daisy Luther
Across the country, schools are causing even more racial division by teaching kids that being white isn’t okay.
From kindergarten through college, kids are being shamed because of their “privilege.” They’re being taught to feel guilty about their race. The education system is brainwashing them into believing that by simply being born to white parents, they are the problem with society. At the same time, by referring to white kids as “privileged,” isn’t it teaching black kids that they are without privilege? That they are somehow born “lesser” to the white kids? That they require some sort of special treatment?
Both of these things are completely unacceptable.
To point out the insane double standard, I thought it might be fun to do an experiment.
I looked for quotes and curriculum that denounce whiteness, and then I switched the around the races. It’s pretty cringe-y either way, but imagine the public outrage if schools were teaching that black kids were inherently bad and should feel ashamed about being black.
Gasp.
How racist.

Equality only applies to non-white children.
Racism is never okay unless you happen to be denigrating the white members of the classroom. At least that is what the leftist education system seems to be saying.
Take, for example, the teacher in Norman, Oklahoma who told a classroom full of high school students:
“To be white is to be racist, period. Am I racist? And I say yea. I don’t want to be. It’s not like I choose to be racist, but do I do things because of the way I was raised?”
Let’s change that around, shall we?
To be
whiteblack is to be racist, period.
Oooh. that doesn’t sound very acceptable, does it?
The school in Norman responded with a statement that did not include an apology for calling the white kids racist, but about how they called them racist. One must assume the treatment will most likely continue.
“Racism is an important topic that we discuss in our schools. While discussing a variety of philosophical perspectives on culture, race and ethics, a teacher was attempting to convey to students in an elective philosophy course a perspective that had been shared at a university lecture he had attended. We regret that the discussion was poorly handled. When the district was notified of this concern it was immediately addressed. We are committed to ensuring inclusiveness in our schools.” – Dr. Joe Siano, superintendent of Norman Public Schools
But Norman, Oklahoma isn’t the only place where they’re teaching kids that white people are racists.
Some schools are starting the anti-white curriculum as early as kindergarten.
A fancy private school in New York City taught children as young as 6 years old that they had been born racist and gave cupcake parties to children of color while excluding the white kids.
Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side claim it’s a novel approach to fighting discrimination, and that several other private New York schools are doing it, but even liberal parents aren’t buying it.
They complain the K-8 school of 430 kids is separating whites in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” and all the “kids of color” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges…
…the K-8 school of 430 kids is separatingwhitesblacks in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” “blackness,” and all the “kids of color” “white kids” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges…
Meanwhile, white kids are herded into separate classrooms and taught to raise their “awareness of the prevalence of Whiteness and privilege,” challenge “notions of colorblindness (and) assumptions of ‘normal,’ ‘good,’ and ‘American’” and “understand and own European ancestry and see the tie to privilege.”
But with a couple of changes:
Meanwhile,
whiteblack kids are herded into separate classrooms and taught to raise their “awareness of the prevalence ofWhitenessblackness…
I imagine rubbing it in that black kids are black would be frowned upon, as would racial stereotyping. For example, what if they used a statistic that said black and Hispanic men make up almost 60% of the prison population, and then told the black and Hispanic kids that by nature of their skin color, they were more likely to end up incarcerated? What if they had whole curriculums warning these kids that they’re destined for prison? Would that be as okay as telling kids they need to become aware of their “whiteness?” Because it’s basically the same thing.
By the way, it isn’t just the fancy Bank Street School teaching this stuff.
The same slides point out that a number of leading private schools across the country also have segregated students by “race-based affinity groups.” It lists several in New York, including Riverdale Country School, Brooklyn Friends School, The Cathedral School, The Calhoun School, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, and Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. (NY Post)
Racism against white people is part of some college curriculums too.
The anti-white programming doesn’t stop at high school graduation, either. Across America, colleges and universities are discussing the societal ills caused by white people. Lily Dane of The Daily Sheeple reported:
In the upcoming spring 2017 semester, two taxpayer-funded American universities – the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Colorado Denver – will offer undergraduate courses focused exclusively on how “whiteness” is a serious social problem…
Let’s switch that around:
…two taxpayer-funded American universities … will offer undergraduate courses focused exclusively on how “
whiteness” “blackness” is a serious social problem.
Oh my God! Our tax dollars are being used to say bad things about black people. Call the ACLU! Call the NAACP! This must be stopped!
Back to The Daily Sheeple:
The University of Wisconsin course is called The Problem of Whiteness…
The University of Colorado’s course is titled Problematizing Whiteness: Educating for Racial Justice…
I’ll bet these courses would not be acceptable at all:
The University of Wisconsin course is called The Problem of
WhitenessBlackness…The University of Colorado’s course is titled Problematizing
WhitenessBlackness: Educating for Racial Justice.
The Daily Sheeple article continues:
Northwestern currently offers another 6-part workshop series titled Deconstructing Whiteness. A flier for the program states that the course is intended to answer questions white students might have about race such as “Why do I have to feel guilty about being white?” or “How can I talk about race as a white person?” or “What does it mean to be white?”
But what if the workshop was about the horrors of being black?

It’s a mind-boggling double standard.
One of the (many) reasons I pulled my daughter out of public high school was that they had the kids filling out demographic information on a weekly basis for various state-standard assignments. But “white” and “caucasian” were not options. For some reason, my daughter had to choose “other” as her race. She was bothered by this and made her own check box with her own race.
I received call after call from the school about her “uncooperativeness.” They wanted me to coerce her into checking the “other” box. Instead, I pulled her out of that ridiculous system and we began homeschooling/unschooling. I’m lucky that I’m in a position to do that, but many parents are not, and their kids are subjected to this anti-white brainwashing 5 days a week.
These days, it’s socially acceptable to belittle, degrade, and cause guilt to people who are white. But when you turn that stuff around and make it about people of color, it would be horrifying to most people, myself included.
This is not okay. It just causes more division.
You can’t correct racism against black people by teaching racism against white people.
I am all blacked out today. Had enough.
Me too, so I’ll effin say it ( queue a rare rant) IT is NOT White Privilege, it IS white superiority–there, I said it. Effin get over it and express some GRATITUDE that we let you hang out with us, leach off of us and that we care for you and your illegitimate bastard kids at such a high level of comfort.
I am sick of this “oppressed BS that is so prevalent–GO TO EFFIN AFRICA if you want to see REAL oppression –the millennia of poverty, starvation, filth, degradation and tyrannical and corrupt dictatorships will demonstrate to your pampered asses what REAL oppression is.
And for you assholes from South of our border to the bottom of the southern hemisphere, if you are being oppressed here and we haven’t given you enough concessions to put you fully in charge ( although you pretty much own and have impoverished CA by now) then GO THE F$#&* BACK to the 3rd World hellhole you came from.
A billion impoverished “people of color” living in unsanitary alleyways and refrigerator cartons in New Dehli ( oppressed in a caste system by other people of color again) may disagree with your feelings of oppression.
You know why whites are “privileged? Because we BUILT a society ourselves that gives value to the individual, to liberty. Our societies are based upon higher ideals and better systems than you’ve created. The African continent has every resource that blacks/ non-whites could possibly ever need to build the greatest societies and standard of living on the planet–water, oil, gems, minerals, fertile and lush valleys for growing and temperate regions capable of sustaining a population 10x the current level–yet they STARVE and live in SQUALOR–because they’re EFFIN STUPID, tribal and violent.
I’ve had it– whites succeed and create great works of art, architecture, literature, technology, symphonies, with a culture of intelligence, beauty and good will……..blacks are just not capable. We ALL need to admit it. They have had millennia living in the vast continent of Africa and haven’t done it yet–they don’t do anything to advance or better the cause and future of mankind because they simply ARE not equipped as a race.
And for any black who reads this-with your cable TV made by white men, your car made by white men, powered by gasoline made by white men, at your computer made by white men, that LED and plastic monitor, that I-phone, those microchips, that food you eat and what little education you absorb etc’s forever–I expect a THANK YOU from you effin ingrates.
Wonderful liberals destroying the minds of the next generation (they’ve already wrecked havoc on the minds of the current and prior generation).
Can Trump stop this?, along with Common Crap?
Fight it at home. I tell my girls that whites are special and to remember all the things whitey has done. I also teach them it is much better for them to marry a white person.
It’s funny you said this–my 5 year old granddaughter said out of the blue ( and we don’t discuss any political/racial things around children) ” Pawpaw, blacks are not very smart” I asked her how she came to that conclusion and she said simply, ” just the things they do and how hard it is for them to talk.”
You’re a absolutely right. Nothing, especially no amount of school driven race-baiting Marxist brainwashing, can withstand the influence enlightened parents have on their children. I went to a Catholic school, but my family wasn’t Catholic. My parents taught me well at home, and even as a young student, I knew how to let certain bits of information go in one ear and out the other, to learn it just for the test and then to forget it. Nothing can counteract the force parents have on their children, but this depends on how “aware” the parents are.
This is why the Marxist educrats keep trying to get children to spend less and less time at home, to decrease the amount of time they spend with their parents and thus, weaken their influence particularly by trying to lengthen either the school day and/or the school year. Of course, all of this is under the guise of helping them perform better academically.
Most of these Niggers have 85 IQ’s – they ain’t gonna amount to shit. Get over it.
When my grandsons are of school age, they’re headed for the nearby private bilingual Cambridge Academy at which by default it’s recognized that English-speakers (down here aka white folks) have the superior culture, one that merits emulation, an open secret that the gov-run public schools wish to suppress but can’t, at least not yet. Archeological artifacts from the major Amerind cultures of the past are studied and due respect given, but it’s recognized that if one wishes to live in a 21st century world and function or better yet prosper in it, one is better off being bilingual (English) given the vast volume of info available only in that language as spoken and written by folks of exclusively or largely European extraction.
You may not like dat, but dass a fack, black. It’s not racist, just realistic.
This is just utter bullshit that needs to end,especially in tax payer supported schools(that also needs to end,another story).Private schools,up to the parents there whether they want this nonsense or not,no matter how stupid!
Life is simple for me,I do not give a fuck your ethnicity/religion/sexuality/monied status/male or female/ect.,you are either a decent person or your a asshole.You claim special status for any of the above your a asshole,fuck off.
Relax, this will backfire in a BIG way. Just ask yourself how effective our anti-pot programs have been?
The left is having a slow drawn-out breakdown because the cognitive difference between needing to be the underdogs (or in this case, “underpriveleged”) and the servility to government (the people in charge). Making matters worse for them, it’s no longer cool to be liberal. All their tricks are cliche: you know how Jethro Toll is called a cover-band of themselves? That’s them: anything the do is a cover of the original. Quick, name this movie: All-white loser sports team integrates, racial tension, coach makes speech about teamwork, win championship. Now this one: remake of fantasy movie, but with a female lead (Girl Power!), take that you misogynist trolls! Next: Girl likes guy, blah blah blah, inner beauty. They can’t go anywhere new without leaving the plantation. It’s the same reason they get weird piercing or have more genders than Baskin-Robin have ice-cream flavors: you can’t rebel against “The Man” when you are the de facto acceptable ideology.
By contrast, Alt-right (or just about anyone whose wife’s vaginas not one size fits all) are the new rebels. Not blowing your parents retirement on some weird ethnomasicist degree is the new motorcycle. No tattooes are the new leather jacket, and having hair that doesn’t look like it came off a Hasbro troll is the new slick back look.
Ten years down the road, this will blow up in the left’s face even bigger than a fat-activist heart when the elevator breaks down and she has to take the stairs. Kids like having fun, and now that God is dead and the hippies are the new church ladies, miserable yet sanctimonious, kids will start pushing their buttons and it will be the funnest thing ever. Because it is. Righter’s meltdowns tend to be private and quiet, and it’s hard to make them blow up. Lefties are taught the showing emotion is proof of concern (and therefore morality), and that stoicism is indifference rather than strength.
In short, the left’s put all their intellectual value in beachfront property without flood insurance and are doing a rain dance. They’ll be no George Bush to blame for this Katrina.
My tribe is the Southern white male, nothing to be ashamed of. Whatever your tribe be thankful. We do not choose our race, it chooses us. The blacks in America are blessed that they are in America, does Rwanda ring a bell with anyone? In Africa there are tribes and sub tribes and thousands of sub cultures. They are all black, yet they murder revengefully for their tribes. Kind of sounds like the urban ghetto, particularly Chicago. Our education system is blatantly racist against the white tribe!
I’ve lived long enough to recognize one constant and that is each generation rebels against the establishment.
You know who that is, right?
I am just an old guy who works with his hands and gives everybody a fair shake and to the millennials I work with around here, you’d think I was Gandalf. They are sick and tired of being told that being normal is abnormal and they hate- HATE- being censored for every sideways glance by people who look like the patrons of the Mos Eisley Cantina. They want stability, reality, truth and genuine self-esteem the way a starving man wants bread.
Let the dead bury the dead, the next generation will fix the mistakes of the ones that came before. All we have to do is keep our heads down and not lose our focus on doing what is good and just until they can wrestle the reins of power away from the freak show that is the current elite and move on to whatever comes next.
I’m content to let events play out. It’s all but a certainty an economic collapse is in our not too distant future. This will further exacerbate negro criminal behavior and at the same time, further harden the hearts of law abiding whites. When things go south for real I suspect you’ll see white folks arm themselves in squad size or greater groupings. They’ll be taught basic tactics such as cover and concealment, the L shaped ambush, etc. by veterans. Should be quite a show.
Old Guy,
Maybe that will have to happen. I don’t know.
We are likely to see the “quality of life” drop some,
when we can no longer live on credit. Some people
will rebel against that reality and find opportunity to
steal. Kind of depends on where one chooses to live.

Confessions of a Public Defender
Michael Smith, American Renaissance, May 9, 2014
“my experience has also taught me that blacks are different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike”
So the genius’s running the education system think they can change the laws of nature. If they beat hard enough on those that don’t agree.
Another article at Amren that people should read is “What I Learned In Kindergarten”.
Old Guy and Underfire,
Thanks for the links…sent them out to some of my idiot friends.
Close the Department of Education and all the funding for this drivel goes away. Then get the parents to take over the board of education and get rid of these “superintendents” and the rest of the medieval bureaucracy that goes with it……
Here is food for thought, especially for those who support “public education” and rally about the doctrine of “socialization” that they claim is lacking in “homeschooled” children.
Let’s look at what “public education” has to offer:
1. Cliques and rampant bullying, quite often the victim of bullying punished more harshly for fighting back. Many times, bullies are part of a “protected” class–racial minorities, jocks, etc. Strong official disapproval of students making friends outside their grade level. “Peer pressure” used to push conformity.
2. Teachers that don’t teach reading writing and arithmetic. Pushing communist principles such as rabid environmentalism, blaming humanity for conditions beyond our control as well as pushing “communitarianism” (“it takes a village”)–actually communism. This also ties in with teacher-recommended feminizing and drugging (mostly boys) to make them “less fidgety” and more compliant–all for the “benefit” of the teacher.
3. Non-existent moral guidance…the communist concept of “values clarification”, allowing each student to set his own moral standard with no discussion permitted as to guidelines. A student dare not mention God or the Bible in “public school”–not permitted…discussing Islam is OK…even field trips to mosques are encouraged.
4. Sex education that normalizes homosexuality and other deviant practices, actually encouraging deviant behavior and downplaying heterosexuality and abstinence.
5. Insane zero tolerance practices, punishing students for pop-tarts shaped like guns or a student having an “unauthorized aspirin” or plastic butter knife. Of course, abortions and birth control are available without parental notification.
6. Lockdowns and backpack/locker searches by police utilizing “drug dogs”, getting the upcoming generation used to random unconstitutional searches. Quite often, students “roughed up” by “school resource officers”…just because they can…Lockdowns should be reserved for prisons–not schools…
Since these “socialization” practices seem to be the norm in our “public education” systems, parents who send their children to these dysfunctional “indoctrination centers” are guilty of child abuse…
Children who are homeschooled actually do much better in life as they are comfortable with people of all ages. True socialization takes place outside the classroom.
Professional educators destroyed the government school system about 1964; everything they’ve done since then has just made things worse. The government schools could have been successfully integrated in 1064 with manageable problems if the same Conservative policies had been followed; but instead, educators implemented Leftist policies at the same time that would have destroyed the system even if Blacks had not been integrated. When educators talk about their professional credentials, I see dogs sniffing each other. The only way out of governmental educational hell is Vouchers.
