None of the above is going to teach kids that bring straight and white is bad and those who think otherwise are the ones who really struggle with nuance.

Bullllllshiiiiiiiiiit. I've seen multiple stories in the news of parents raising hell specifically because their five or six-year old kids came home crying and asking "Am I evil?" because they were white and something in their Kindergarten or First Grade Class curriculum more or less said so.

And like "sexuality", stuff like "The entire system is racist," "All white people are inherently prejudiced", etc. etc. is NOT stuff you need to be filling kids' heads up with at that age.

You can say "Nobody is pushing this stuff on little kids" all day long. You're wrong. They are, and it's not right.

Kindergarteners and First Graders need to be working on spelling, colors, shapes, and 2+2=4. Not "Boys can wear dresses" and "Don't Trust Whitey." It's bullsh*t. Parents don't want their taxes paying for that sh*t, and they're right to fight back on it.

Also, as Andrew and others have pointed out in the past... race relations were a LOT better on the whole 20-30 years ago, when kids were basically taught the opposite of what they're being taught now. Back then, "Race doesn't matter, treat people as People." Now it's "Race absolutely matters, and by the way, the whole game is fixed against you if you're not white." Lo and behold, people who are raised with that attitude are PROVEN to become angry, maladjusted malcontents who don't apply themselves in any meaningful way to become contributors to society because "Why bother? The whole game is rigged anyway."

Trust me, I've worked alongside a lot of black people who grew up being taught "Whitey is the devil." They're lazy, entitled assholes, mad at the world and contribute nothing. And it's all because they were taught from a very young age, be it from family or school or whoever, "All white people are bad, they'll never let you get ahead so it's pointless to TRY to get ahead. Just sell drugs and try and stay off the radar."

Meanwhile, the black people who were raised with the "People are People" mentality are hard-working, not-bitter, and high-achieving. Go figure.

It's like if you TELL people from birth that they're gonna be forced into "Perpetual Victim" status by a society that's biased against them, they start believing it and stop applying themselves.

Things were better off before. When all the racial tension stuff was considered "the past", and the fact that a few bad apples still exist did not altogether mean that "EVERYONE is Racist", which is what people are being taught Now. It's toxic, it poisons minds, and it needs to stop. It DEFINITELY has no place in any classroom.

The current situation is 100% "thanks" to race-hustling, ambulance-chasing instigators like Al Sharpton, who if they weren't seeing make-believe Racist Bogeymen in every passing cloud they'd have nothing at all to do with themselves and so they manufactured an issue that isn't actually real so that they could remain relevant (and also, get rich). The fact that so many people fall for that bullsh*t is insane. But again, if you scream lies at people long enough, you wear them down and they start believing you.

It's f*cked up. The whole thing is f*cked up.
