“Watch these Teachers Explain White Privilege to Young Students”

Loading

JeffG:

Oh for fuck’s sake:

It looks like these teachers haven’t read this Princeton student’s account of his own “privilege.” That, or they didn’t want to become confused with the facts.

Teachers Diana Reeves and Rosemary Colt held a session titled “Examining White Privilege and Building Foundations for Social Justice Thinking in the Elementary Classroom” at the 2014 White Privilege Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. It seems they wanted attendees to find “opportunities to begin to insert social justice, anti-racist information for even little kids to understand.”’

[…]

In the video, eight-year-old students spoke about what they learned.

“White privilege is when people that are white get an advantage to the people who are people of color,” one student explained. “So if there was like a job, and a person of color was applying, and a white person was applying, and the owner was a white person, they might pick the white person just because of the person’s color, even if the black person was better.”

Any NBA fan might question this since 78 percent of players are black, even though the league has just one black team owner.

“White privilege is something that white people have, meaning they have an advantage in a lot of things and they can get a job more easily,” another student said.

Meanwhile, one student realized what a “racist” he was at the end of the conference.

“I can talk about how the racism inside me, I feel like I’m going to go home and tell my parents that I’m a racist and I’m not proud of that but I’m proud that I can say that,” he said.

In a comment here yesterday, dicentra drew the parallel between this kind of “social justice” doctrinal “education” and the brainwashing typical of religious cults, concluding:

We’ve long described progressive antics as quasi-religious, but I never made the express connection to the brainwashing technique of forcing constant confession but withholding salvation until after the next set of excruciatingly subtle sins is purged.

And then there’s this:
Perhaps the saddest aspect of religious brainwashing is what Dr. Robert Lifton calls “The Dispensing of Existence.” Lifton writes:
The totalist environment draws a sharp line between those who have a right to exist and those who do not. They claim that those outside their group have no right to exist, or at least say that those outside their group are inferior. The group thus has an arrogant and elitist mentality, considering themselves superior rather than having equal rights as other humans. Those who do not conform to their path of existence are targets of rejection or annihilation.
…They develop a fighting mentality which bristles often, takes offense easily, and delights in cutting other people down. … Unhealthy religious groups brainwash their followers by convincing them that people outside of their group are sub-human.

I think we’re practically there. We don’t have to tolerate the h8rs because they don’t deserve it. They’re evil incarnate. Racists by definition. And any means to expel them from the body politic are justified.

This is precisely the kind of indoctrination techniques progressives are trying to insinuate into public school curricula, with “global warming” an early trial balloon, as I learned when Satchel — who goes to a charter school in a conservative community — told us, on the way home from school recently, that we might be having outdoor barbecues on Dec 24 by 2016, and that if both polar ice caps melt, both the US and China would be underwater.

He regaled us with tales his teacher told him of the perniciousness of carbon dioxide — human exhalation — and of scientific consensus, with “only 1 out of 100 scientists” disagreeing with the idea of significant anthropomorphic climate change and its catastrophic potential.  Too, the teacher conflated carbon monoxide with carbon dioxide to parallel the poisons and their putative effects on the environment and, consequently, weather.

This is just sick and disturbing stuff. Public education is one of the worst things a parent can subject their child to.

“White privilege is when people that are white get an advantage to the people who are people of color,” one student explained. “So if there was like a job, and a person of color was applying, and a white person was applying, and the owner was a white person, they might pick the white person just because of the person’s color, even if the black person was better.”

This is such a monstrous bunch of indoctrination BULLSHIT.
Seriously, where is the planet these liberals live on??

From my own experience I have had to interview and ‘hire’ people and never, ever, have I looked to ‘color’ in the hiring process…as a professional, my main goal in the hiring process is to hire the best candidate who will fit the position they are applying for. Period. “Owners” of a Company do not ‘delegate’ to management what ‘color’ people they should or shouldn’t hire. “Owners” for the most part aren’t even present for any of the hiring process (unless it is a very small business). Hence the reason WHY they have “managers”. I have hired people of ‘color’ who turned out to be great assets to said department and to the company. I have also hired latino, white and any other color so long as I felt they had the qualifications, could handle the responsibilities of the job and perform well.

Oh, did you know I am WHITE??

Did you also know ‘I’ have been ‘turned’ down for Jobs in my lifetime?? And “I” am WHITE.

So seriously what is the effing deal with all this perpetual racist bullshit and putting that awful burden on little (white) elementary school children? They most likely would never have though about this on their own had it not been planted in their little spongy heads by out and out progressive ass hats.

These people ARE THE PROBLEM! This is ‘white guilt’ to the extreme…

“white people did not exist before 1681” – Professor Jacqueline Batalora

Oh? I’d like this “so called” professor to illuminate everyone on how she came to this conclusion.

What a load of [expletive deleted].
I do not remember the choice being given to me of who my parents would be. How did I end up in a house full of books, and learn to read at 3? How did I come to depend on evidence, logic, data, and reasoning? I had no choice in this; it was the millieu in which I grew up. Who decided that my parents would give me Encyclopedia Americana at the age of 9, so I could go on Quiz Kids?
How did I grow up in a culture which did not rely on oral tradition and disparage print? How did I survive when I was not educated by story and sentiment but by fact?

Just another load of BS from Leonard Zeskind, who is the primary originator and promoter of “white privilege.” Zeskind is a lifetime member of the NAACP, and the Kansas City Jewish Community Relations Bureau, and is 64 years old.

I’m guessing that he probably lives in an overwhelmingly white neighborhood, and wouldn’t dream of walking thru any black neighborhood at 11pm on a hot day, all by himself. Just the thought of doing that probably makes him wet himself, but he’ll sit comfortably by and spew his hatred of white people, not unlike Noel Ignatiev.

when I first join FLOPPING ACES IN 2009, I ran in a story which raise my hair.
this young 12 YEAR OLD white, was at the school majority black, along the black teacher,
she incited the young blacks to hurt the 12 year old white boy, she resent him and a second white boy,
to incite the young other,
one day the white boy was followed to his home and the few black boys set him in flame by throwing fuel on his face, he had the first reaction to quickly raise his upper sweather over his face, but end up with scars
ON HIS FACE, THE MOTHER REPORT NEVER CHANGED ANY ONE, THE TEACHER KEPT HER JOB,
BUT THE TWO WHITE KIDS WHERE SIGNUP IN ANOTHER SCHOOL DEMANDING LONG WALK TO GET THERE,
SO DON’T COME HERE AND TELL US OF THE PRIVILEDGE OF WHITES,
IT JUST MAKE HARVARD DESAPOINTINGLY STUPID AND REGRESSING OF INTELLIGENCE,
AND SADLY TRYING TO PUNISH THE WHITE KIDS FOR BEING WHITE,
you are doing the same as that racist black teacher,
SHAME ON YA’LL, YA DUN FIT IN HARVARD, CHANGE THE PAGE,
