Tennessee parents say some books make students 'feel discomfort' because they're White. They say a new law backs them up

Williamson County, TN (CNN)Robin Steenman pulled her daughter out of public school over a mask mandate last year.

She's now in private school and misses public school. But Steenman is keeping her out not because of masks, but because of lesson plans she says make students feel bad about their race...

...The former fighter pilot leads a chapter of Moms For Liberty in this wealthy, Republican-leaning suburb of Nashville...

...In a multi-page complaint to the state department of education filed this summer, Moms For Liberty says the Williamson County Schools curriculum violates state law because it includes "anti-American, anti-White and anti-Mexican teaching."...

... Steenman told CNN the books in the school and the way they're taught leave children of White parents feeling guilty. "A letter was brought to my attention that was written by the parents of a biracial second-grade boy. And he's half Thai, half White -- has as a White father, a Thai mother," she said. "And then he is suddenly ashamed of his White half, his White father. He only wants to identify as Thai and he does not want to be an American...

one of the basic flaws of CRT is the one-drop rule - if you are one-drop minority you have no choice but to champion that minority to the detriment of one parent. So much for mixed marriages would end racism, eh?

This article is hard to believe... they capitalized “White.” We all know the Stalinazi media today keeps it lower-case in order to diminish the humanity of White people.

I misread the headline. I thought they felt discomfort because the BOOKS were white. Color me confused. Just don’t color me white, I guess. Or I might feel discomfort.

Pretty much.

My daughter (in school in the USA) summarized her entire English book as:

Brown girl is smarter than the whole wide world. She is also kid and gentle and animals live her. Brown girl deserves an award. Stupid rich white girl is mean. Stupid rich white girl has principal change rules because her daddy is powerful. Brown girl wins anyway, due to her magic brown skin that makes her not evil. White girl is humiliated, but everyone loves brown girl. The end.

It’s literally the same crap the Nazis taught in 1936, but Europeans are now the Jews (and Jews are really bad, too, but hatred of Jews is for the advanced classes).

The one good thing about the Covid school shutdowns is that it forced a lot of us parents to pay closer attention to what our kids are being taught.

Now is the time for conservatives to take over local school boards, PTAs, and whatnot, and take back the schools.

Didn’t the old time racists have a one drop rule, also? If a white person had a drop of “black blood” he was considered black? Something like that. And the Nazis had a formula where if you had more than a certain percentage of “Jewish blood,” they would kill you. Vicious and crazy. I think now the hard left is going to harass and persecute bi-racial and multi-ethnic people, all in the name of “equity” and “diversity.” The left is inspired by the worst people in history.

OK by me but then, because it is a “public” school that I paid for AND I pay their salaries. I guess if a teacher in a public school leads a daily bible class and has the kids sing daily hymns that works for you, right McCullif?

The same Marxists who are promoting this idiocy where they ones who launched their 50 year plan by getting the word “ multiculturalism” into everything. Fast forward to intolerance for multiculturalism. Whites have lots of cultures. You don’t have to be black to have a culture.

“And then he is suddenly ashamed of his White half, his White father”

I worry about this so much with my sister’s grandchildren, i. e., that they’ll hate their white parents and identify with their minority parents.

I’ve always been opposed to bi-racial marriage, especially if it results in children. I get flamed for it often because it’s oh-so-stylish to mix and match. But how does it help the nuclear family and our country?

When my niece got engaged to a black man, I fully supported her. She never would be able to have children. Until she did. Now his family does everything possible to create adversarial situations to undermine the white side of the family. It’s actually war.

They’ve retreated to the motte again. According to the article, CRT is just a law school elective not taught to grade schoolers, and these white women just want to ban any teaching about slavery and Jim Crow.
