Public School Teaches “White Privilege” Class
Fox ^ | 1/15/13

Posted on 01/15/2013 11:51:06 AM PST by Altura Ct.

A school district in Wisconsin said they will review a high school diversity class that exposed students to radical leftist thinkers and promoted a critical race theory that alleges white people are oppressors.

The “American Diversity” class was taught to students at Delavan-Darien High School in Wisconsin, Fox News has learned.

“They’re teaching white guilt,” one parent told Fox News. “They’re dividing the students. They’re saying to non-whites, ‘You have been oppressed and you’re still being oppressed.’”

The parent, who asked not to be identified, has an 18-year-old son who was enrolled in the class and became alarmed after she looked at some of the handouts provided to the students.

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

The parent said the students were taught “if you’re white, you’re oppressing. If you’re non white, you’ve been a victim.”

According to handouts obtained by Fox News, “white privilege” was defined 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 (nation, community, workplace, income, etc.”

Students were also given a handout from University of Texas professor Robert Jensen arguing that people don’t have complete control over their fate.

“There is not space here to list all the ways in which white privilege plays out in our lives, but it is clear that I will carry this privilege with me until the day white supremacy is erased from society,” he wrote.

Students were also instructed to visit the toy aisle at Wal-Mart for a hands-on illustration of white privilege.

It will be such a relief when they finally stop the pretense and have a "Kill Whitey" class.

Black racists are always trying to cook up some new crackpot theories such as some melanin nonsense or white privelege.

The fact is that average white IQ is 100, while average black IQ is only 85 tells all you need to know and also explains a lot about not only higher rates of criminality, but also lower graduation rates, academic achievement and financial success.

what a racist statement they are teaching. Basically, their statement is “it’s AWESOME to be white.” “it SUCKS to be you if you’re black”

To put your point succinctly it is low intelligence and poor impulse control at the root of certain group problems. Unfortunately, both disabilities are biologically based and at present cannot be altered. Biology not Psychology may provide the solution.

University of Texas at Austin Professor Robert Jensen Calls Thanksgiving a “White Supremacist Holiday”

His opinion piece, “No Thanks for Thanksgiving“ appeared on George Soros-connected website Alternet on Wednesday. In his article, Jensen wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went compared the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany, asking “how does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?”

This anti-white rhetoric is the rhetoric of genocide, Matt Bracken is right.

White oppressors seem to be the only oppressors ever to want to get as far away as they can from the violent, hateful, envious non-whites they are supposed to be oppressing. And that’s not even mentioning they’ve twice elected someone of a different race to the highest office in the land, and are, of all races, the least likely to vote based on race, or that they extended the vote to those of a different race before most of their kin in Britain could even vote.

Truly a disturbed being.

Texas, the state, is pretty conservative; Austin is San Francisco/Berkely in theSouthwest.

I started my Masters degree at UT, Austin and the faculty was riddled with Harvard, Yale, Univ. Mich., Univ. Berkely types. The charm of TX U. for these blue progressives is doubtless the money, as TX 's land grant was the Permian Basin and it is a rich school. Because of the progressive faculty, graduates from No, NE, and West Coast univs. were given preference.

The Leftist use of "diversity," is an attack on the actual diversity of mankind. It epitomizes the compulsion driven demand for totalitarian uniformity & the abolition of the very concept of the traditional nation.

See Putting "Diversity" In Context.
