An elementary school in Cupertino, California—a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million—recently forced a class of third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
Based on whistleblower documents and parents familiar with the session, a third-grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School began the lesson on “social identities” during a math class. The teacher asked all students to create an “identity map,” listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. The teacher explained that the students live in a “dominant culture” of “white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker[s],” who, according to the lesson, “created and maintained” this culture in order “to hold power and stay in power.”
Next, reading from This Book Is Antiracist, the students learned that “those with privilege have power over others” and that “folx who do not benefit from their social identities, who are in the subordinate culture, have little to no privilege and power.” As an example, the reading states that “a white, cisgender man, who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome and speaks English has more privilege than a Black transgender woman.” In some cases, because of the principle of intersectionality, “there are parts of us that hold some power and other parts that are oppressed,” even within a single individu

Look for more of this in the CCP Biden regime.
As many people here need to get on their school boards as possible
All except for you liberal shills, that is.
Shill
A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization. Shills can carry out their operations in the areas of media, journalism, marketing, politics, confidence games, or other business areas. A shill may also act to discredit opponents or critics of the person or organization in which they have a vested interest through character assassination or other means.
Predators
It’s obscene.
At the school, where the majority of families are Asian-American, the students have exceptionally high rates of academic achievement and the school consistently ranks in the top 1 percent of all elementary schools statewide.
Tiger Moms (and dads) need to fight this oppression.
Child abuse.
Communists!
Cupertino is where Apple is HQ’d.
What kind of insidious brainwashing is this?!
If I had a child they’d be out of that school in an instant.
didn’t they teach somewhere in the 1930’s about racial superiority?
you can mark my words that the 2020’s will be the most volatile decade for the world since the 1940’s.
Indoctrination
Because everything old is new again.
Obviously if any such privilege existed the White would then get a higher grade. But the opposite is done. Duh
It is not legal to ask a student their religion (unless it is a religious school). That is discrimination. This teacher needs to be fired and then sued.
“you can mark my words that the 2020’s will be the most volatile decade for the world since the 1940’s.”
The history and social studies we were taught in the 1960s/70s will be totally erased soon.
We kids established rank and privilege on our own. Didn’t need any help from the grownups.
“has more privilege than a Black transgender woman”
And even less “privilege” then a blonde, blue eyed Scandinavian woman, flashin’ down the street with her shades on.
Yeah. So what. Yer born with whatcha got. Ain’t got enough? Take it up with yo parents.
Kids are almost better off without education if this is what’s considered education.
There are plenty of online homeschool programs, forget the state run indoctrination centers.
