Students in a Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of “white supremacy,” in the latest Seattle Public Schools high school controversy. The lesson plan has one local father speaking out, calling it “educational malpractice.”

As part of the Black Lives Matter at School Week, World Literature and Composition students at Lincoln High School were given a handout with definitions of the “9 characteristics of white supremacy,” according to the father of a student. Given the subject matter of the class, the father found it odd this particular lesson was brought up.
The Seattle high schoolers were told that “Worship of the Written Word” is white supremacy because it is “an erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.” By this definition, the very subject of World Literature and Composition is racist. It also chides the idea that we hyper-value written communication because it’s a form of “honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies.” The worksheet does not provide any context for what it actually means.
“I feel bad for any students who actually internalize stuff like this as it is setting them up for failure,” the father explained to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.
The father asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution against his child by Seattle Public Schools. He said the other pieces of the worksheet were equally disturbing.
The worksheet labels “objectivity,” “individualism,” and “perfectionism” as white supremacy. If students deny their own racism — or that any of the nine characteristics are legitimately racist — is also white supremacy. Denialism or being overly defensive is a racist example of an “entitlement to name what is an [sic] isn’t racism and that those with power have a right to be shielded from the stresses of antiracist work.”
The father argues the concepts are “incoherent and cannot stand any sort of reasoned analysis.” And he notes that it’s set up to ensure students accept every concept without ever questioning the claims.
“How is a 15-year-old kid supposed to object in class when ‘denial and defensiveness’ is itself a characteristic of white supremacy? This is truly educational malpractice.”
Another aspect of the white supremacy lesson at this Seattle school involved a video titled “Getting Called Out: How to Apologize” by Franchesca Ramsey. It’s reportedly presented in the context of white students expressing what the teacher views as “white supremacy.”

What do we expect from the Iron Curtain of Seattle? The Seattle population runs the entire state politically. Washington State has not had a Republican governor since John Spellman in 1985. Senator Patty Murray (Democrat) was elected in 1993 and Senator Maria Cantwell (Democrat) in 2001. Seattle voters vote straight ticket Democrat which tips the balance for the entire state.
A highly coordinated protest shut down the I-5 freeway in Seattle for five hours, causing a 6-mile backup. Justification came right out of the Critical Race Theory handbook.
I’m learning so much about this thi g, “white supremacy “. Not hearing why it’s bad or what are the superior alternatives. Are there other forms of societal structure that want to compare?
Put me down for white supremacy, then. The alternative is illiteracy and ignorance, which aren’t going to take you very far in life.
I also say that 2+2=4, white supremacist that I am.
Gee whomever wrote The Color Purple ???
My BFF is from the Carribean. Immigrated when she was 12 legally.
She is horrified at the dumb blacks who have allowed the left to treat them as if they are, her words, “Unintelligent animals with no ability to learn.”
Black kids these days think they can become millionaires just by singing, rapping, or throwing, kicking, hitting or shooting a ball. And if not, they can always sell drugs or be a pimp. They truly believe that no education is required to become wealthy.....................
The progressives say that based on our superior DNA we were born with an unfair advantage. No minority is capable of competing on a level playing field because they are inferior beings and inherently and mentally inferior and therefor disadvantaged.
Why educate them at all when they are generically destine to fail.
That's what progressives are saying.
Literacy bad, thug life good.
Gee, I guess being proficient in basic math is beyond racist now too.
😊 1. TY has an AK47 with a 30 round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive by shooting, how many drive by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?
2. If Juron has two ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8 ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn’t cut it?
3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800 per day crack habit?
4. Jerome wants to cut his 1/2 pound of Heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?
5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy and $100 for a 4x4. If he has stolen 2 BMW’s and 3 4x4’s, how many Chevy’s will he have to steal to make $800?
Whoever (whomever? English is racist!) wrote that matching quiz is a perfect example of why people need to know reading and writing English. “...what is an isn’t racist...”
Half of those sentences were garbled.
It is time to look into pushing Seattle into the Pacific Ocean.
A worthless city with worthless people needs to be separated from the normal folks.
Proud book-reading white supremacist here. They’ll be conducting their own Kristallnacht soon. Get your books while you can.
Chris Rock was right: “Don’t come ‘round here with all that reading and $#!+!”
Yah, when you love to read and write, you get supreme. When you love to rap more than read and write, you work for the supreme ones. It’s up to you fool....
Close the public schools.

Not submitting to sexual abuse and complaining is against the law and racist.
