My take. POS trying to get noticed.

One of the things I talk about in the book is what I call this “conundrum of privilege,” which is that these parents have a lot of resources economically as well as status as white people. They can then use those resources to set up their own child’s life in ways that give them the best education, the best health care, all the best things. And we have this collectively agreed-upon idea in our society that being a “good parent” means exactly that -- providing the best opportunities you can for your own child.
But then some of these parents are also people who believe strongly in the importance of diversity and multiculturalism and who want to resist racial inequality. And these two things are sort of at odds with one another. These affluent white parents are in a position where they can set up their kids’ lives so that they’re better than other kids’ lives. So the dark side is that, ultimately, people are thinking about their own kids, and that can come at the expense of other people’s kids.
. . .
This idea that your own child is the most important thing -- that’s something we could try to rethink. When affluent white parents are making these decisions about parenting, they could consider in some way at least how their decisions will affect not only their kid, but other kids . . . My overall point is that in this moment when being a good citizen conflicts with being a good parent, I think that most white parents choose to be good parents, when, sometimes at the very least, they should choose to be good citizens.

You’re supposed to take resources from Farnsworth and give them to Taqueesha.
“These kids have taken this phrase, That’s racist, and inverted it in a way such that it’s become meaningless.”
this stupid woman is too stupid to see that it is she and her allies who have made that phrase meaningless.
kids know BS when they see it, and they know that calling every other thing ‘racist’ is BS. the average 13 year old has more smarts than this scholar.
what a dumb article this is, that Atlantic, you can never tell with them. some pieces are great, but this one is pure 100% left wing drivel.
but, thanks for posting it, because we need to keep tabs on these nincompoops.
By this argument, anyone who has any money and doesn’t give it all away is a self-centered selfish racist. Denial of property rights and personal liberty is a loathesome greedy and envious mindset.
So we should start abusing our kids. Will that level the field?

The words of guys like this need to be used in GOP campaign ads.
Joe “Faggy Cuck” Pinsker can shove his racist idiocy up his kiester.
One of the downsides of being a white person is, all the time people see me walking down the street and keep offering me a high paying job, just due to the white privilege I exude. Oh,the perils of being a white person!
Any couple (1 man, 1 woman) can take access that "privilege". Skin color or any other accident of birth has no bearing on the matter.
Yep. And what can you possibly do to fix it?
Imagine that this guy’s head would explode if he met some home school parents. This jerk doesn’t know there are alternatives to government schools.
News flash my wife went to high school in Hazard County KY, poorest county in US. Managed to graduate from Indiana University with 3.999 GPA. Economic resources have little to do with achievement but a culture of determination and aspiration lead to success.
He can shove his white privilege up his .......
I can see a future where these “equalization boards” are also used to guarantee that the overall environment that all children see is equivalent.
I know how. They keep subscribing to The Atlantic.
What they did give me was a good upbringing. They encouraged me to study hard, to work honestly, and to stay out of trouble. None of that cost so much as a dime. However, it was worth a lot.
No one is stopping even the poorest of parents from giving their children the same upbringing.
“So we should start abusing our kids. Will that level the field?”
Exactly, this is evil communism pure & simple. I doubt this woman has any children of her own.
As one wag once said: if it matters who I sit next to in school, seat me next to the Asians!
You are right.
The root of all of this is covetousness and covetous people wanting (and forcibly taking) what belongs to someone else.
Read James 4:1.
What about all the Chinese and Korean families who are taking over formally White suburban neighborhoods and raising their kids to get into good colleges?
Let’s pretend they don’t exist, because it doesn’t fit the fake “White privilege” narrative.
It’s too stupid to read... sounds like the person writing it had overprotective parents and the ‘kid’ now wants to be a child forever which is why he doesn’t have any children of his own.
