New Trier High School, one of the country's top public schools, is forcing students to attend seminars on racial identity on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

"The goals for this day are to help New Trier students develop a deeper understanding of their own racial identities and the identities of others, and to better understand how we can all work to counter the impact of systemic racism in our lives," reads a statement on the school district's website.

Attendance is mandatory, though other public institutions in New Trier Township will be closed in observance of the holiday.

Sounds like old fashioned Dixiecrat segregation to me.

When I was a kid, days like this ended up being days I went somewhere else. I don’t know why they would put up with this.

First they made MLK Day a national holiday and said you were racist if you disagreed.

Now they are turning it into a mandatory indoctrination camp day for students.

Still plenty of time for the kids to organize and hold a MLK Day rifle match....

Teaching us all to get along by constantly pointing out everyone’s racial differences. Somehow that makes sense to a liberal.

Don't blame me; I'm Finno-Ugric!

We are one holy tempest in a teapot of cultures and attitudes, not to mention interesting linguistic similarities AND differences!

I self-identify as a black woman.

Just some of the topics covered:

“Why whites suck.”

“Why whites should be thrilled to have the government take their money and give it to nonwhites.”

“NICE whites are happy to be overtaken and replaced by immigrants!”

If they don't give the topics in Finnish, or Hungarian, or Mongolian, I won't be able to understand them.

I bet they don't like our cooking and snacks, either. Spicy!
