A woke offensive has taken the nation's schools by storm in the aftermath of the George Floyd fallout, but instead of the intended purpose of solving racial inequities it's irritated parents of all persuasions.
In interviews with DailyMail.com, parents say they've been overwhelmed by education reformers seeking to impose anti-racist agendas on America's schools. They describe the efforts as well-intentioned but often rushed, condescending, insulting and poorly timed, coming during a global pandemic when most families are just trying to get by.
'It's a whole cottage industry right now, a whole lot really fast that even a good-hearted liberal like me has trouble digesting,' said a Manhattan mother who was recently mandated to sign on to a 90-minute, anti-racist Zoom seminar for her pre-teen daughter's school.
'The stuff is intense,' she said in an interview with DailyMail.com. 'They actually told us, ''The most dangerous place for a black person to live is in a white person's imagination.' And they told us that as a truth. They're presupposing uniform white aggression.' My thought was — ''Please don't say that to my child.'' My daughter's imagination is not dangerous.'

“Manhattan mother” gets what she deserves. Move to Florida, Mom.

It’s Okay to be White.
Blame Alfred North Whitehead. It’s all his fault. He won’t mind. He has been dead for many years.
Move to Florida, Mom.

No. It is not well-intended. It’s goal is racial strife.
To paraphrase Chuck Schumer, the lack of moral courage in most people sets themselves up to get screwed six ways from Sunday.
The only way to end white racism is to kill all the white people.
Guess the “liberal mom” will have to figure that out the hard way.
I’d like to say Leftists are an embarrassing failure on the whole MLK judge people by character thing.
Well, first of all, you can be sure there is nothing good intended by this divisive crap. And second, as the old saying goes, "the road to hell is paved with good (or rather, leftist/liberal) intentions."
If they are too afraid to speak out, then they are equipped in the same fashion public schools are teaching their children: they cannot make an argument.
Humanities— Philosophy. Logic. Rhetoric.
Not STEM. The important stuff that teaches you how to think critically, and then use it.
“kill all the white people.”
Nah, they don’t want to go that far. They’ll be happy if you’re being perpetually ground down under the boot of oppression.
If whites are killed,who’ll make the money for me to steal from????
TN, especially E TN, is a horrible place to move to. There are copperheads in everybody’s lawn. The bears come down from the mountains and eat small children. The hillbillies are everywhere, making moonshine and carrying guns. Nobody who’s woke should ever want even to visit here
“Parents’ fury at lessons in wokeness but who are too terrified to speak out”
Exactly what the problem is all over this country. Parents afraid to challenge school boards for teachers that have gone wild.
No, no hell no-no Manhattan moms or any other blue area “suburban women” moving to Florida, Texas, Oklahoma or any other red state with their cowardly surrender and complain mindset-we already have enough of our own weak sisters here-just no...
This country is becoming simply disgusting.
