I heard about this. I swear this stuff makes me pull my hair out. You are setting up kids for failure with this garbage. Combine that with the philosophy that all your bad behavior is due to racism or whatever ism and you wonder why crime rates are crazy. Amongst other things.
If you treat black and brown students different it will make the white students resent them. On top of that it will make the black and brown students feel inferior because they need special attention. Is a recipe for perpetuating racism and hatred.
Which is their plan all along. And constantly telling white peoples how horrible they are breeds resentment. Or saying that white people need to be less white.
I know you've caught your fair share of being told to be less white, too.
The way that being intelligent, well-spoken, and well-read has become 'acting white' in the black community is a symptom of real problems that can't be addressed by altering a math curriculum.
That’s very true. Yea I’ve been told I act white since childhood. Not so much as an adult since that is more of a young person thing. Instead of addressing real problems it seems to be more important to waste time with blm nonsense. I mean the disproportionate crime rate is crazy! I remember Larry Elder took flack for saying that if a white person gets apprehensive in the evening if they see a group of young black males then statistically they have a point. He then said it’s not flattering for me to say it but it’s true.
It's the modern day version of "salting the earth". Not only destroy your enemy, but ensure they can never recover.
