Public school in Minnesota requires English course aimed at eradicating white privilege
Fox ^ | 11/3/2017

A public high school in Minnesota implemented a required, race-based English course aimed at eradicating “white privilege,” but it wasn’t billed that way to students or parents, according to a public policy organization.

“Pre-AP English 10 constitutes an abuse of parents’ trust, taxpayers’ money and — most importantly — vulnerable children,” Katherine Kersten, a senior policy fellow for the Center of the American Experiment, told Fox News. “Edina citizens should hold district leaders accountable for substituting political indoctrination for a real education.”

The Minnesota-based think tank started researching Edina public schools after they heard students, parents, and teachers in Edina complaining about the aftermath of the 2016 election, when 80 staff members — most teachers — co-signed an editorial in the student newspaper bashing President-elect Donald Trump and aligning themselves with the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton. “Many of you [students] have made clear ... that right now, you don’t feel physically safe,” the article read. “Know that we will do all that we can ... to fight for you,” and that “we will teach rebellion against a broken world.”

Kersten discovered a required 10th grade English course adopted in 2013 by Edina, focused on colonization, immigration, and social constructions of race, class, and gender. Kersten published a broader finding in a cover story titled: “Whose Values? Educational excellence threatened by ideology in Edina schools.” Students, especially young, white males, said they constantly were humiliated.

One of the boys wrote on the “Rate My Professor” website that the class should be renamed, “Why White Males Are Bad, and How Oppressive They Are.”

Edina High School, located in an affluent suburb outside the Twin Cities, started experiencing lower test results and their ranking in the state started dropping since the race-based policies were implemented.

Not only does it [Out Of Darkness] accuse the entire white race of genocide, it claims that blacks and "Africans"
invented almost everything on the planet: mathematics, architecture, clothing, the fork, literature, music, etc.

Too bad they never could figure out the wheel or toilet paper.

“Many of you [students] have made clear ... that right now, you don’t feel physically safe,”

Sounds like a white kid in a city school.

“White Folks get the job done”

That recalls a line in “Gauntlet,” a Clint Eastwood flick about a cop hired to escort a witness to safe custody. They face multiple attempts to murder them.

Not realizing how corrupt his boss is, the cop tells the woman he was hired because “I get the job done!”

She replies, “They don’t WANT the job done!”

We are near a tipping point, when goodwhites begin to cop on to the truth that eliminating white so-called "privilege", or even more so "supremacy", involves eliminating THEM.

Yes, there is a white minority that is so brainwashed and so sick that they literally are prepared to sacrifice their genetic future, but most goodwhites are just unaware of what the future they have created holds for their children and grandchildren.

When they tumble, as they are already starting to do, we will be in a new world, socially and politically.

Come into my office using street English or some other gibberish when you apply for a job and see how long it takes me to end the interview. Its not my white privilege in action. It’s my education privilege you will encounter.

On White Privelage:

The best revenge for minorities against White Privelage is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the “playing field” is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.

The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned busineeses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.

Minorities will never find a solution in expecting Whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that Whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don’t even see the Blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the Whites to play?

Just step on the field and compete! Or don’t. Its up to you. But don’t blame it on me if you can’t.

They need whites to operate everything; experience has shown them that once the whites are gone, nothing is maintained or fixed. They just want to take 99% of our salaries while we do it...

At this point it is safe to say most blacks accept the government version of the situation: Blacks are genetically inferior, and only with perpetual affirmative action and wealth transfers can they even pretend to succeed.

Edina citizens should hold district leaders accountable for substituting political indoctrination for a real education.

If these parents don't like it they should get their kids the hell out of public school.That is what Public School is. The teaching of academic subjects, you know, Reading, Writing Arithmetic, and history, civics, geography, actual English and literature, is almost gone. Now schools teach primarily political attitudes. Those parents who actually care anything about their children other than as costume accessories have already begun home schooling of have them in parochial/private schools. It is long past time when people had any valid excuse.

Pre-AP in the 10th grade? Something is wrong. Here Pre-AP is 8th grade and all AP in high school.

Oh, to be back in the good ol’ days when you could read a good story without being traumatized by the author’s skin color.

I was surprised that this was happening in Edina, but your info helped it make sense. Here in outstate MN Edina still has the reputation of being wealthy.

They’ve come a long way from their cheer when losing at an athletic event:

That’s alright, that’s OK,
You’re gonna work for us someday
(Told this by a friend who graduated from there about 30 years ago)

If they really wanted the kids to experience “multi-culturalism” it would be 100 times better to stop messing with English classes like this and make them take Spanish classes aimed at achieving fluency (unlike the three years of German I attended). That would be far more useful and get the kids dealing with more people than post-colonial abstract Zulu poetry.

Most everybody, black and white, believes that. How they lie to themselves, dissemble, and cover it up varies, of course, but the fraction of the population that believes in “equality” is tiny (and shrinking).

The next chapter in the story is going to be a doozy.

Cuck.
Your whiteness itself will exclude you; there are any number of cases from Nasser saying “There are too many middle-aged white engineers here to GOP-e Prez candidate Carly Fiorina’s “No American has a right to a job” to Bill Kristol’s “We need to replace blue collar Americans with immigrants who work harder.”
