An anti-racism lesson at San Francisco's Lowell High was filled with slurs and threats. Who did it?

It was supposed to be a lesson in anti-racism held schoolwide.

On the afternoon of Inauguration Day, students at the highly-selective, public magnet Lowell High School were told to submit anonymous thoughts on race and inequity in a public "share board" on a school-sponsored forum, Padlet.

But for the city and school district officials, the email from students ends with a notice: "These actions were not committed in ignorance; they sought to perpetuate racism, anti-Blackness, and white supremacy. If you choose to ignore this email, you are contributing to the same cycle."


Lowell High School in San Francisco is an academic elite public school. You have to have a high GPA to be admitted. The majority of the students are Asian. Indian or Chinese. Only 15% are white. But somehow this was an example of white supremacy

It was!

Only white people or white institutions can be racist.

Make that *had* to have a high GPA. The school board ditched the admission standards for Fall 2021, so Lowell will be just like every other crappy S.F. public high school next year (and probably for the foreseeable future). Saw an African-American school board member on the local news explain, “I don’t like this whole idea of an elite school. Why can’t all schools be elite?” (Apparently blissfully unaware of any standard definition of the word “elite”).

Who did it? Maybe someone fed up with “anti-racist” crap.

Want your kids to be truly Elite?

Then they should move to Lake Woebegon.

"Who did it? Maybe someone fed up with “anti-racist” crap."

Once in a while I get an optimistic feeling when I read stories like this because someone out there gets it and pushes back. I believe many students do not buy into the crap they are being taught and will eventually push back.

That’s true. I’ve heard that all the kids there are above average.

Parents who truly hate their kids, send them to Public School, especially San Francisco Public Schools.

Nothing specific at all, is there?

The more you preach “anti racism” at people, the more you imply or outright state that they are racists and they become more of what you don’t want. Scream “You’re a racist” enough times at people who aren’t racist and guess how they react?

There is no getting around human nature.

I guess those Chinese parents didn’t tell their kids about the “100 Flowers” movement. When Communists tell you they want to know your deepest secret thoughts, the unvarnished truth, keep your mouth shut.
