SCHOOL CURRICULUM: IF YOU’RE WHITE, YOU’RE PRIVILEGED

Public high school in Wisconsin indoctrinates students in ‘white privilege’
Daily Caller – Eric Owens – 1/17/2013

The ideas presented in the course come from a broader academic movement called critical race theory. According to Fox News, “white privilege” was defined in the class as a “set of advantages that are believed to be enjoyed by white people beyond those commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, and economic spaces.”

Another assignment asked students to visit the toy aisle at the local Wal-Mart.
“They were told to go and count the number of dolls that were representative of blacks as opposed to whites,” said one parent, according to Fox News.
The anonymous parent reportedly became disturbed when she perused some of her 18-year-old son’s course material.

“I felt it was indoctrination,” she told Fox News. “This is a radical left agenda and ideology that is now embedded in our school.”

The incident was first reported by the conservative Young America’s Foundation’s New Guard blog, where Brendan Pringle wrote, “This course offers a snapshot of a larger trend that has plagued university curriculum for years and has only recently crept into high school classrooms.”

READER COMMENTS:
White privilege? It is always about race. We are not moving forward, we are moving towards more division, blame, and self-victimization. Why don't we teach "hard-work privilege" and the benefits of busting one's backside to chart your own course through life.
No money in that I guess...

I was born white, and don't want to hear I have to feel sorry for those who aren't.
