Diverse schools are taking a new approach to anti-racism: Training white parents

The only good thing about this is that the article is getting lit up in the comments section

Amid the blowback over anti-racist lessons for America's schoolchildren, another effort to grapple with structural racism has gained steam: training white parents.
Lessons can be as simple as lunch.
White, affluent volunteers have been overheard commenting to kids about the nutritional value of a meal like Lunchables, said Christina Feliciana of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Social Welfare, in a 2020 YouTube video.
But a parent’s decision to place “junk food” in a student’s lunch may be the right choice. Calorie-dense food is often cost effective – and a way for a caregiver to show love to a child. The food may be a reward recommended by a therapist. Feliciana’s co-presenter and colleague, Robert Watts III, added that students with special needs can have rigidity around texture. Allergies can rule out alternatives. Plus, people derive value from hewing to family and community traditions around food.
In response to an offhand remark like “That’s not healthy” or “Tell your mom to pack you fruit,” Feliciana said, a child whose family already felt disconnected and disempowered might repeat the message at home, making the family even less likely to engage with the school.
Lessons in cultural humility like this one have been a feature of teachers’ professional development for quite some time. But trainings have largely focused on how students are treated, not families, and they’ve been targeted at school officials, not parent and caregiver volunteers.

All I got from that snippet from the article is that junk food is fine for black people because of blackness and poverty or something. And don't say anything about it, whitey, because racism.

And generally is less healthy and less filling. There is a reason it's called junk food. They aren't doing anything to quell the kids hunger by giving them that but they're pumping them full of sugar and
preservatives.
Can we stop acting like everyone is right but just different?

So the culture breeds lazy fatties that buy junk food with government monies? Maybe it’s all that sugar and soy that make them so emotional over everything.

First why don't we "train" black parents to raise their children so that 13% of our population isn't committing more than 50% of the murders and violent felonies in this country.
If we can do that and get the black crime rate down to something that even approaches their population percentage, I can GUARAN-F*CKING-TEE them all that 99.9% of their made-up and perceived "racism problems" would magically disappear overnight.

Sure they have
For some reason, I'm hearing Katie Couric in my head. She was always offering her opinions and covering herself by saying "some have said."

I have noticed however that just before DEMOCRAT race riots there is a training regimen - walking every Wednesday, etc

These sociopaths continue to get government money to destroy our society and brainwash our children. The only backlash they get is in comment section and message boards so they continue to double down on their evil. It's only going to get worse.

That's funny, I'm hearing Donald Trump saying the exact same thing...
A lot of people are saying .?.?. ’: How Trump spreads conspiracies and innuendoes
Trump frequently couches his most controversial comments this way, which allows him to share a controversial idea, piece of tabloid gossip or conspiracy theory without technically embracing it. If the comment turns out to be popular, Trump will often drop the distancing qualifier — “people think” or “some say.” If the opposite happens, Trump can claim that he never said the thing he is accused of saying, equating it to retweeting someone else’s thoughts on Twitter.

As a matter of fact, I never heard anyone say it more often than tDonald.

in other words, black people are stupid so we have to hold them to a different standard and have pity on them because we're superior and that's our burden.

Sometimes my kids pack a lunchable/junk food just to break up the monotony of their white supremacy and binary genderism.
Or maybe it's because they ate everything else in sight and that's all that's left at the moment.
