The largest public school district in Washington state is reportedly training white teachers to “bankrupt their privilege” by focusing on social justice in the classroom, Discovery Institute scholar Christopher Rufo reported.
A series of reportedly leaked documents shows what appears to be a training on critical race theory at Seattle Public Schools, prompting teachers to explain how they will promulgate racial justice in the classroom.
The slides begin by asking teachers to acknowledge that they are meeting on “the ancestral lands and traditional territories of the Puget Sound Coast Salish People,” which is followed by “Stolen Labor Acknowledgments” asking them to recognize that the U.S. was “built off the stolen labor of kidnapped African and enslaved Black people’s work, which created profits that created our nation,” according to Rufo.

“Brown labor” is continuing today, the slide adds, and includes workers picking “strawberries for your smoothies” in harsh conditions. The slide includes a “Black Lives Matter At School” graphic with a raised fist.
The “creative team” involved in the training then identify themselves by their pronouns and race. The individuals include teachers and other staff at Seattle Public Schools and someone from the “Department of Racial Equity Advancement,” which provides the school with racial equity analysis, professional development, and consultation and coaching, according to its website.
The participants identify themselves by both gender pronouns and race labels. While it has become commonplace in academia to use gender pronoun identifiers, this is perhaps the first example of an institution creating the expectation for explicit race-labeling in the workplace. pic.twitter.com/PJM95tVR0X

Another slide features author Zaretta Hammond, who has written a book entitled “Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain,” which guides teachers on interrupting “implicit bias” in the classroom so they can build trust with “diverse” students. The slide pulls a quote from the book that calls on teachers to “commit to the journey” by checking implicit biases. Another slide shows a quote from Hammond’s book describing how “your lizard-brain” will “freak out” when it’s time to talk about sensitive subjects like racism and sexism, a neurological mechanism that tries to keep people in their comfort zones.

We are all N-words now.
Or we could enrich minority students by focusing on English, math and science.
Nope, let's bankrupt everyone.
Giving aid and comfort to the enemy has been part of public education for decades. To it has been added perversion and racist/multi-cultural hatred against Christianity and western civilization.

Indoctrination is the new “training”
Nope, let's bankrupt everyone.
Whew! You pulled back from a serious outbreak of racism at the last moment!

George Orwell would fill right at home, here, in the world he created in 1984. Whatever “white privilege” is supposed to be, it has nothing to do with “privilege.”
I am guessing “privilege” is in reality “confidence.” Got to get rid of that self-confidence/self-assurance and replace it with a crippling guilt about ever having it.
AKA: "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Waste"...
I am willing to bet white teachers buy into this 100%. If that is the case, there is no cure other than keeping children out of these schools. (Well, there is one other cure, but we’ll never get around to that because Americans are bunch of wussies.)
White people should also forego the privilege of paying taxes
My privilege was bankrupted decades ago. Where’s my EBT card? Where’s my government freebies? Where’s my double covid amount check?
Where is this going, except towards taking all our money, and then eliminating us?
Here is my white privilege. My parents were married and helped me through college. All of my relatives were decent hard working people. There was no drugs, alcohol or abuse in my childhood home and not one of my relatives or aquantances were convicts. All of that adds up to make me successful.
Feminism, liberalism, thisism, thatism, it's ALL designed just to drive America into the ground..
Our entire nation has been taken over by a bunch of spoiled, pink haired, ugly potheads with rings in their noses, studs in their tongues and an attatude so bad their own dog can't stand'um..
If we think things are going to hell now that the hippies of the 60's are running country, can you even begin to imagine what things are going to be like when this NEW breed takes the helm.. How in the world did screw up our own kids in such a way....
But, from the look of things at the moment, maybe there won't anything left for them to muck up.. (spit)
acknowledge that they are meeting on “the ancestral lands and traditional territories of the Puget Sound Coast Salish People,”

OK.
Walk out of the schools.
Tell the Salish that they are now in charge of the schools and the education.
Tell the Salish that they are responsible for generating any funding they might need.
And responsible for any ‘school lunches’.
I keep waiting for liberals to give their houses and properties back to the Indians.
