Elite K-8 school teaches white students they’re born racist

An elite Manhattan school is teaching white students as young as 6 that they’re born racist and should feel guilty benefiting from “white privilege,” while heaping praise and cupcakes on their black peers.

Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side claim it’s a novel approach to fighting discrimination, and that several other private New York schools are doing it, but even liberal parents aren’t buying it.

They complain the K-8 school of 430 kids is separating whites in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” and all the “kids of color” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges.

“Ever since Ferguson, the school has been increasing anti-white propaganda in its curriculum,” said a parent who requested anonymity because he has children currently enrolled in the school.

If the parents are liberals, aren’t the kids getting the same message at home? Why are the parents complaining?

Really...

This isn't new. Back in 1991-2, when I was a freshmen at the Collegiate School, I was first exposed to this in World History. I made fun of it by telling the teacher "at least I'm not a WASP". The biracial teacher had no idea that I was mocking him, but my classmates did. The Bank Street School is a very progressive institution. I'm surprised this didn't start in the 1970s.

We need to dust off the 1867-68 Reconstruction Act and apply it to New York state. The act begins by sending in troops and appointing a military governor.

The parents probably don't mind this being done to "white kids" in general - they just don't like it being done to their "white kids," who are special.

Those elite New Yorkers, descended from their European parents or grandparents, know how to get a degree and go straight for the government job and money. They’re tidy and great at putting on appearances of wealth, but they aren’t required to be loyal Americans.
