For leftists, calls for racial equality are race-hatred
American Thinker ^ | 22 Feb, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

In Edmonton, Canada, a school district is busy hunting down the anonymous students who dared to demand racial equality.

Those of us who came of age in the West in the second half of the 20th century believe that race is a superficial attribute and that, as Martin Luther King said, people should be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. All races are equal, both morally and before the law. The left has jettisoned this principle, something made manifest in Edmonton, Canada, where a school district is hunting down the “hate-filled” anonymous White students who declared that “we are all equal and race should be ignored.”

The Edmonton Public School Board, which has responsibility for the Strathcona High School, was horrified when a new account appeared on Instagram. The “Scona White Student Alliance” (sconawsa) introduced itself with sentiments that would have been considered normal just ten or twenty years ago:

White lives matter! Strathcona high school has been increasingly anti-white rather than pro black for the past few months. We have been forced to sit in our classes and listen to some clowns ranting how terrible and racist are all whites. Enough is enough, us students don’t wish to be thought any of that social justice rubbish, we just want to be treated equally and be respected. Black people shouldn’t be treated superior than white people, nor the other way around. We are all equal and race should be ignored, we must judge each other by our actions, not by the color of our skin.

SNIP

In addition, the Instagram account posted Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech, which focused on character over color – and accused the school of reversing that prescription.

These school district employees must not be afraid of angry parents.

The left’s calls are for nothing more than pure ‘hatred’! It is their badge of honor to ‘hate’ all things right

"Us students don't wish..."

Maybe they need to spend more time learning English grammar rather than critical race theory.
