Elementary school ‘whiteness’ lesson: Sympathizing with police is ‘racist’

School suggests controversial “1619 Project” as supplementary material for educators.
An elementary school in one of the country’s wealthiest districts will require fourth and fifth graders to read a book which asserts sympathizing with law enforcement is “racist.”
Students at Gladwyne Elementary School in Pennsylvania’s Lower Merion School District will get “Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness,” which also claims it’s “racist” to not watch the news and showcases Colin Kaepernick as a hero in the fight against racial injustice.
It seems the four “cultural proficiency” lessons already in use by Gladwyne were deemed “insufficient” by the school’s (aptly named) Cultural Proficiency Committee. Principal Veronica Ellers noted in a June email that the school plans “to continue designing lessons that promote anti-racist actions in the upcoming 20-21 school year and beyond.”

Seems to me this will make more people racist.

Do the schools want to get replaced by homeschooling or private schools?
Because they are off to a good start.

You would be right.
“Anti-racist” is code for “hate on whitey.”

How is this sound curriculum?
Maybe they can focus more on math, geography, reading, and writing.

Math is apparently not objective enough for them.
J’eantell should get credit for explaining why 2+2 = 5.

This sentence embodies all that is wrong with America.

Wanna teach ALL people truth about police injustice?
Teach about war on drugs, civil asset forfeiture, and no knock warrants. Those policies are an injustice to us all.

White liberals/Democrats are pure evil. Basically they demand that all white nonliberals, in the present and in the future...be forever damned. Unless those white nonliberals jump through the manufactured hoops the white liberals throw out, and submit.

When my wife, no pics, was at LSU (way before all this BS) they tried to teach her that If a kid said that 2+2= anything other than 4 don’t tell them they are wrong. Ask them to explain it and let them work it out to see they are wrong. This is not something new.

Dr. Fishbein knows best.
I'm thinking the author might be hooked on Reiki and operating from some strange metaphysical realm. She just has that look.

Except that’s not what’s going on here. They are literally trying to tell you that 2+2=5 is correct. They even have justification to why it is correct (its wrong obviously).

I kind of got that instant "crystal healer" vibe.

I stumbled across one of those 'justifications' by accident - goes something like
- if the '2' really represents '2.49999' then 2 + 2 really = 4.9998 which is the same as "5"
see how easy that is??
The leftists have succeeded in making words fluid = can mean anything you want them to mean, so you can say one thing and really mean the exact opposite of what you just said, and can berate the audience for not "understanding your truth"
