A grade school in a wealthy Pennsylvania school district is requiring children to study a book called "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," which claims "white people who relate to police officers or decline to watch the news are complicit in racism."

The Washington Free Beacon reported Gladwyne Elementary in Lower Merion School District assigned the book for fourth and fifth graders.

The curriculum also assigns "A Kid's Book About Racism" to kindergarten and first graders, the report said.

Somebody needs to be taken out behind the gym. Nothing like a little early indoc to start the day huh? Heaping helping of self hate does a body good. Hmmmm. Maybe someone can follow this and see if any of these guilt laden tykes eventually take their lives in their early teen years due to the weight of the guilt being loaded on.

Wow. If you are not willing to accept indoctrination, you are a racist.

Very Orwellian.

After seeing liberals trash the Boy Scouts, we shouldn’t be surprised by this.

If relating to Police and declining to watch the news make me complicit in racism, then I will state right now: I AM A RACIST.

If that is so, I have been a racist for some 20-25 years at least.

It makes it easy.

Are they sure they really want to do this? After all, accusing people of racism is their most powerful tool that they use like an Uzi placed into the hands of a toddler.

If they want to make those two things the indicator of racism and take away their own weapon which they use indiscriminately as simple slander and without basis of fact and make a lot of people racists, I am not sure I would not be all in on encouraging that stupidity.

"white people who relate to police officers or decline to watch the news are complicit in racism."

But what if most of the news is about blacks shooting each other or looting stores? Is it still racist if I watch it?

I’ve done some work in Gladwyne, and those people are loaded.
They probably send their children to the Haverford School.

The government run, public school systems, while pushing racist views, must now be considered “child abuse.”

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Racist is simply newspeak for enemy of the party.

It has almost nothing to do with skin color.

It has everything to do with having the political beliefs the Party insists that you have.

It has been that way for decades.

It has been apparent ever since the Left declared that Justice Thomas was not an authentic black man.

When I first started grammar school--which was patrolled by armed policemen outside the building--my mother drilled into me: "Policemen are your friends" and "If you ever get lost, find a policeman and tell him."

The police were always friendly to the children.

I remember once commenting on a policeman's gun, in a holster on his side and asking: "Can I touch it?" to which he replied: "No."

On the other hand, my wife and I had a maid, a fine, educated woman, who told us this: Her son, in his upper teen years, was on drugs and behaving irrationally. She called the police. When they arrived, his behaviour was threatening, and they shot and killed him."

Once, when lost in the forests of New Mexico at night, I finally emerged on a large estate. As I found my way across it to the street, a man, presumably the owner, drove up in his car. I was careful to keep my hands visible and, of course, be very polite. I explained: "I'm sorry. I'm lost, just going from the woods to the street." He was polite also and drove away.

Recently I was stopped for speeding; I didn't seen the sign. The policeman was very nice but I could tell he was cautious himself. I was extremely polite, kept my hands visible, and acknowledged that I was speeding just as he had said. I was careful to make no gesture that could possibly be construed as threatening.
