Oh gawd, modern academics are nutzo.

[Organic Panic]

It trillions of stolen tax dollars given to blacks by white people is just fine.

[pepsi_junkie]

It gives disadvantaged pupils the same access to books as their middle-class peers by sending high-quality titles directly to the homes of under-fives.

But according to a recently published academic paper, the award-winning scheme is racist by reinforcing notions of “white privilege and heteronormativity”

so does this mean academia no longer supports affirmative action and DEI?

[ComputerGuy]

Now, if it were crack pipes....

[Romulus]

Sending books directly to children is the problem. She isn’t funding do-nothing jobs for leftists.

[Skywise]

Free books are evil and white saviorism.

Free money be reparations and just fine.

[Mount Athos]

Wow how horrible that she does something good.

The better people are insane leftists, bitter and jealous

[DallasBiff]

Wasn’t it Oscar Wilde who said “no good deed goes unpunished”.

[Republican Wildcat]

Through its focus on “reading to succeed” and “perfecting parenting”, Parton’s Imagination Library scheme is “oppressive”, says Stone. Such themes subjugate children and “privilege a White, middle-class, cis-gendered, heteronormative, able-bodied norm,” it adds.

I guess the person who wrote this is a professor at a university that "teaches" students in class...funded by our tax dollars.

Because “literacy” is part of “White Supremacy.” It is racist to expect minorities to be able to read.

[Republican Wildcat]

Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at Buckingham University, said: “This is a blatant example of the corruption of thought that schools and universities in the Western world are promoting and which is weakening our societies.”

[Brian Griffin]

Non-white people, except Australian aborigines and a few people, came voluntarily to the UK, Ireland and Australia in recent decades.

It is incumbent upon them to blend in as much as linguistically and culturally possible, except for cooking and art.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The neo-colonialism needs to stop and be reversed.

[Liaison]

The program probably does not send the approved books the professor need to indoctrinate the children become progressive stooges and and antifa fighters

[Bratch]

Sending books directly to children is the problem.

She isn’t funding do-nothing jobs for leftists.

[jacknhoo]

This author is nuts.

But speaking of Dolly Parton…predators go to where the prey is. People need to be careful who they let influence their children’s minds.

[ridesthemiles]

THERE IS A SPECIAL LEVEL OF STUPID INVOLVED TO ATTACK DOLLY PARTON

[ridesthemiles]

FOR 3 decades————

[Pontiac]

But according to a recently published academic paper, the award-winning scheme is racist by reinforcing notions of “white privilege and heteronormativity”

This professor is obviously a racist because she thinks only Whites can give things to poor people.

But she is correct, heterosexualism is normal.

>> ‘white saviourism’

Cool, can I now get my taxes & health premiums cut in half?

[Gene Eric]

Such attackers are the worst kind of hateful losers.

Whatever happened to Darwinism?
