School administrators in British Columbia are trying to fight racism by posting a series of white-shaming posters on school walls, in an effort to educate students on the evils of “white privilege.”
The posters, based on a similar billboard campaign mounted last summer in Saskatoon, bear messages encouraging students to “confront racism” and to not “be blind to the invisible system I am a part of.”
Rather than play down the importance of race in favor of common humanity, Ms. Downs and her comrades-in-arms believe it is critical for students and citizens to become not less but more race-conscious. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of “a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” is apparently not shared by the good folks of School District 74.
Not by the academic authorities, anyway.
School officials reportedly made the mistake of initiating the poster campaign without informing students’ parents, which has provoked backlash among families who don’t believe it is a sin to be born white. One parent of mixed-race children, Kansas Field Allen, took issue with the poster crusade and posted photos of the posters on social media, which generated a flurry of comments, mostly critical of the “white privilege” campaign.
Some complained of the “blatant indoctrination” of students, while others expressed their consternation over an unwillingness to focus on common humanity rather than racial divides. “Shouldn’t we work on being inclusive rather than exclusive?” a typical comment read

In related news, the rest of Canada apologizes for British Columbia.
I think it is seriously worthy of protests by white school kids who are being targeted for their skin color. Maybe they could do it in black makeup to make their point a bit stronger.
Canadian demographics that lead to a me too moment,are wishful thinking, less than 3% are black, and a little over 4% are aboriginal. They use the distinction: “visible minority,” which of course includes Asians, South Asians and East Asians... meaning the rest of their minority population are from ethnic groups that typically surpass “white” people economically.
It is not about race; it’s about complection.The darker the complection the lower the IQ.
Oh F%#* that. Tell them and Justin to ‘sit on it’.
“How pathetic is this? “......
I personally think its total bull crap. People need to be judged by their character, NOT their skin color. What a screwed up world we now live in. I am proud to be white as is my neighbor who is proud to be negro. We both get along perfectly no matter what the color of our skin.
I saw this the other day. I called the board and blasted them
I gave them a speaking to they likely won’t forget.
Yes, I’m fully aware they’re coming for me first.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the correct answer.
This leftist insanity has affected all of western culture. One good thing from Canada is Jordan Peterson who is a popular cultural warrior on the right, and who is working hard to put an end to this nonsense. A lot of this leftist nonsense comes from the universities — so if you want your kids to be exposed to this rabid, viscous virus be careful of what schools you send them to. These schools have to be fumigated and this comes about first through parents being critical of where they send their kids.
An entire cuck nation. How sad. We could probably invade them with Boy Scouts armed with pocket knives and win in about ten days.

It is horribly pathetic. Liberals have convinced some caucasions to hate their heritage all the while demanding them to praise and celebrate other people’s heritage.
Propaganda works on some people.

Let’s see how self conscious of their “priviledge” the next majority will be. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Why doesn’t canada just turn everything over to their blacks and minorities and become like South Africa and Zimbabwe!-)
While inviting rapists and murderers to live there, they’re busy making people feel bad about being a certain skin color. They are evil.
