California’s Alameda Unified School District ethnic studies curriculum required students to assess their own level of privilege as they were taught Critical Race Theory and extreme gender theory. Students were given handouts including “My Relationship with Privilege and Oppression,” which asks students “whether you are privileged or oppressed.” White, male, Christian students without a criminal record are singled out as the epitome of privilege.
The document lists 29 different identities and characteristics—including race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, religion and education level—that are used to determine one’s alleged level of privilege or marginalization. “Who am I as an intersectional human being,” it asks. Another assignment, called “A Map of Myself,” asks students to audit their own identities, categorizing each as a “position of privilege or marginalization.”
“For each identity domain…consider if it puts you in a position of privilege or marginalization,” the assignment reads before asking students to list their race, ethnicity, biological sex, sexual orientation, and religion. Footnotes cite “anti-racist” author Robin DiAngelo and argue that “race is a socially constructed system. Considering all your social identities listed in the table above, on a daily basis, which ones are you most aware or conscious of?...what is the most negative or difficult thing about that identity?"
The course syllabus divides the class into four sections, including “power and oppression,” which focuses on “who creates the master narrative and how that impacts the lived experiences of different groups” by creating the “understanding that laws & policies are not objective.”
Parents Defending Education adviser Michele Exner said: “They want to perpetuate a victimhood mentality based on how many ideological boxes someone can check off. What they should be teaching is math, reading, writing, and history—all subjects that will actually help students of all backgrounds excel instead of pushing this divisive content in classrooms.”

We can never let our guard down. The obvious solution is to get your kids out of these horrible school districts, but not everybody can home school. These days you even have to watch private and Catholic schools very closely.
They have landed.
Close the public schools.
Indeed, it is not. It is 21st century Marxism. And like its 20th century predecessor, it won't go away until not only everyone suffers, but especially, until the regime pushing it is completely bankrupted and humiliated.
And abolish the department of education.
It’s time for a new Joseph McCarthy.
My speech-—”the Democrat party has oppressed me and this country because they’re the party of the KKK, Slavery, eugenics, Jim Crowe, internment camps, denying women the vote, etc....the end”.
Brainwashing... NO ONE SHOULD STAND FOR THIS!
The only way to end marxism is to end marxists.
Was that one of El Rushbo’s truths of life? If not, make an addendum.
This is sick.
So straight white male Christians are systematically identified as priviledged oppressors who must be hated and chastised for the evil wrought by previous people of their abhorrent kind. This is indeed a great way to teach how oppression works.
I’m privileged because I don’t see racism in almost everything.. all day long .every day for the rest of my life.
I’m also privileged because when ever I screw up ..or fall short.. I can’t blame it on a entire race of people.
The California process is stupid.
We are being forced to pay for this with our taxes. No one should have to pay for any ideology they don’t agree with. Public schools are supposed to be for the common good and no good will ever come of this, only racial diversity and strife. I don’t know how to fight this but it must be stopped.
SICK!
Indeed. There are Catholic Schools, and there are Ape Schools. The latter use some Catholic verbiage and symbolism, but seek to mimic the government schools.
> Close the public schools. <
I’m a retired urban public high school teacher. At the start of my career I defended public schools, for one very important reason: Public schools were melting pots. The black kid sat next to the Irish kid, who sat next to the Jewish kid, etc.
Some administrators back then were good. Some were not.
But none of them were evil. And that’s what we’re seeing today. So I must agree with you. Public schools are pretty much beyond redemption.
