A Washington, D.C., elementary school is under fire after instructing students as young as 4 years old to go home and identify racist family members.
Students from pre-K through third grade at Janney Elementary School attended an “Anti-Racism Fight Club” presentation with speaker Doyin Richards, according to a letter from the principal of Janney Elementary School, Danielle Singh, written on Nov. 30, according to a report.

“Anyone else’s Kindergarten kid freaked out by an anti-racism assembly today? My kid needed to sleep with a light on and the door open tonight,” one parent posted anonymously to the “DC Urban Moms and Dads” online forum. “Anyone know what specifically was talked about? My kid couldn’t relay much except that she was scared.”
Not only are people taking issue with the book’s rhetoric, but the at-home activities the book prescribes are also causing tension, according to the report.
Reading the book “isn’t a spectator sport” and requires “being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made,” Richards writes.
One such activity involves a series of questions that asks the students, “Where do you see racism in yourself? This requires true soul-searching. Be real with yourself, don’t feel guilt/shame and own it. It’s the first step in becoming an anti-racist.”

The first step to becoming anti-racist is to identify yourself as racist. Right. Got it.
Been a long time coming. People slept while it happened under their noses.
How Stalinist of them.
EXCEPT when parents do that at school board meetings or in meetings with principals and teachers.

“Teacher, my mom and dad are racists!”
They won’t let me play with my doll. They won’t take me to Disney Land. They won’t buy what I want..blah, blah. What copuld go wrong....kids being taken away where they will REALLY see the light!
It has been a long time since I was in DC, but at least I did the Wa monument stairs.
I did not like it then, would not go back now.
People say stuff like ‘drain the swamp’.
They are confused, DC was set in a swamp on purpose so no one would want to ever stay for longer than to get business done, then go home.
And you get ice cream at lunch for the rest of the year.
The parents need to get together, collect all the little Nazi snitch books, go find principal Singh and have a nice bonfire outside their window.
When it is going pretty good they can dump a few properly decorated full bags of marshmallows right in the middle of the fire.
.
This is why it should be a Criminal Act for a Public Employee to not utilize the public schools system for their children in America.
I doubt there are more than a couple hundred white kids in DC public schools.
