This is child abuse
And it's delegitimizing and misappropriating a culture that enabled the concept of "education" in the first place

All “early alchemists of note” were white.
Madame Curie was white.
Pythagorus was white.
Thales of Miletus was white.
John Dee was white.
Sir Francis Bacon was white.
Euclid was white.
Descartes was white.

I know this article is talking about a prep school, but I have an idea I’ve been thinking about for a long time for how to support conservative kids who are in college in their daily battles against leftist professors and students. Conservative adults who have the time and money should sign up for college courses that are known hotbeds of leftist idiocy. Adults who have nothing to lose, who couldn’t care less what the professor or other students think of them, and who are more grounded in facts, logic, and reason than the typical college kid would be powerful allies for besieged conservative students, and could perhaps enlighten some of the lefty students who never hear a dissenting opinion, as well.
So many of these leftist professors bully any students who dare express a dissenting opinion in class. Just imagine them having to deal instead with a fearless adult, who is well informed and not afraid to ask them difficult questions and debate issues in front of the class. We wouldn’t be there to disrupt the class or cause a scene, but merely to say in the course of normal discussion the things that the kids are afraid to say. If the right people took up this cause (and enough of them), it could really help break through the leftist indoctrination and bolster the confidence of intimidated kids.
Besides, what can the leftist wacko professor do about it? Give you an “F?” (LOL) We would be paying “customers”, just like anyone else, only with a different purpose for being there. Sort of like academic guardian angels.

You have Soviet style funding, you will eventually get Soviet style output. You can tinker with the State Indoctrination Camps all day but as long as Teachers get those paychecks from the State it is the State that they will look forward to pleasing.
Now that schools have already been closed a year it is a good time to wean ourselves out of public education. Separation of School and State is an idea whose time has come.

Decades ago, feminists were calling Newton’s Principia Mathematica a “ rape manual”.

Most people think that the Brit Newton also invented Calculus, but that’s only half true, so why does Newton get all of the credit? Easy, because he’s WHITE.
But how about the other person, who also, separately, invented Calculus at the same time, why is he ignored? Maybe because he’s NOT WHITE? Perhaps the Left has a point here.
...hmmmm
Dammit! Winds up that the other guy, Leibniz (a German), was also white.
Maybe there was also someone upstream in the Congo, perhaps?

Affluent Prep School Told Students To Stop Saying ‘Newton’s Laws’ To ‘Decenter Whiteness’Reminds me of Hitler demeaning "Einstein's Relativity Theory" by calling it "Jewish Physics."

An EFFLUENT New York prep school reportedly told students to call Newton’s Laws of Motion the “three fundamental laws of physics” in attempts to “decenter whiteness.”
There, fixed it...

Excellent: Sometimes asking JUST the right question should be enough for one class. :)In many cases, a simple statement such as "Prove it!" would suffice.
But if I were feeling especially cocky that day, I might raise my hand and opine, "But Professor, societies which 'center Whiteness' have consistently proven to outscore other societies (with the exception of S. Korea and Japan) by almost every metric! So why should our society suddenly start to 'decenter' Whiteness?"
