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.”

“White, male, Christian students”
The white male students need to point out how discriminated they are in battlefield deaths, child custody, life expectancy, suicide, alimony, criminal sentencing, Social Security, and health care.
Don’t give “teachers” a raise...arrest them for abusing the students.
keep your kids out of this cesspool
Question: At what point does all the reverse racism of DEI, preferential treatment, subsidies, etc. end?
Answer: When it no longer serves to divide us, when it doesn’t get politicians elected, and when it can’t be monetized.
So, here we are. Blacks remain on the democrat plantation, white people silently deal with racism, and nothing happens to insist on cultural values and behaviors that lead to everyone being contributing, lawful, and successful citizens….
Rinse, fail, and repeat
“power and oppression,” which focuses on “who creates the master narrative “
Looks like the CRT race grifters create the master narrative in education. The point of CRT is to make whites pay reparations for historical grievances. It’s a giant scam.
The Left depends on the anger of the “marginalized” for its energy.
And these people NEED to blame their lack of success on an outside oppressor, rather than their own inadequacies.

We won’t last as long as the Roman empire
The same cultural rot and greed will end this great experiment in government.

It’s important to note that this racist trash is not originating with the teachers. It’s originating with administrators and outside consultants.
This puts good teachers (who are a majority in most districts) in a bind. What to do? Refuse to teach the trash, and out you go. Then you’re a middle-age person with no job, no unemployment benefits, and a family to feed.
Most of us chose indirect resistance. I’ll give you an example of that.
I was once told to pass out a survey to my 11th grade class. And it came with an instructional script, which I was to read word-for-word with no deviations.
Well, this survey asked - among other things - details about the students’ sexual habits. Unbelievable. So in my instructions to the class, I said “Do not answer any questions you are uncomfortable with. Got that? Do NOT answer any questions you are uncomfortable with.”
That wasn’t in the script. But it had to be said.
Affirmative action is everywhere and yet libs still talk about the privilege of white males!!!!!!!!
So, to be better, you need a criminal record!
> We won’t last as long as the Roman empire The same cultural rot and greed will end this great experiment in government. <
Yep. The Romans were arrogant.They thought the rot really didn’t matter. After all, the Empire was eternal. So there was no need to take any corrective action. Party on!
Invading barbarians took advantage of this.
Rome collapsed from without. We will almost certainly collapse from within.
It appears that in California if you haven’t raped robed murdered and committed arson your privileged.

“without a criminal record” — that absolutely drives me crazy. That is a VOLUNTARY thing you accomplish on your own. It has NOTHING to do with being born with “privilege.” You choose to be a law-abiding citizen or a criminal. How is it that we who decide we will NOT be criminals are privileged? These people are absolutely crazy.
I would have LOVED to get that assignment. I hated school, hated nearly all my teachers, hated classrooms, hated most of the kids, and failed just about every class (u til college when I actually enjoyed the topics.). Public education is the same a prison. You are forced to be there against you will with people that hate you and you hate as well. I would have LOVed to be the smartass and worked hard to get an F.
It seems they are admitting single black women destroy the lives of their kids....
“They thought the rot really didn’t matter. After all, the Empire was eternal. So there was no need to take any corrective action.”
This has been a constant theme of Prof. Hanson in his book “The End of Everything” and many of his recent podcasts. Civilizations either cannot see their demise brewing or they willfully ignore all the signs and are incapable of corrective action. They see the barbarians at the gates and think “We are strong, they cannot harm us.”
“It seems they are admitting single black women destroy the lives of their kids”
It’s hard to escape that conclusion, isn’t it?
ABSOLUTELY
IF I HAS A KID IN THAT SCHOOL I WOULD HIRE A LIVE IN TUTOR IF I HAD To.
And very importantly; learning about disinformation. PBS will provide teachers with a lesson plan.
