...And this is because it is meant to preempt argument. Consider: If whites think as whites or collectively, then they are guilty of "racism." Yet so too are whites "racist" if they insist upon judging people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, i.e. if they endorse a "color-blind ideology."

No matter what, the game is rigged in advance to convict all whites of "racism."

Ditto for all liberal grievance groups.

And “certainly” American Exceptionalism is a disease - as is the idea of Colonialism (toss in McCarthyism for good measure) - the “education” industry has many ways to distort achievement and freedom.

Besides the fact that she is polluting young minds paying for the pleasure, she is polluting two children on a grander scale who have no choice in the matter. And, BTW WTF is a “MotherScholar?”

The Front Page article contains a link to the actual paper. You need to scroll down a little through the publisher’s front material to get to the actual article.

It is pretty long (as these screeds usually are) and cannot be directly downloaded without some sort of log-in through an account or social media. So bookmark or copy and paste seem to be the only options if you don’t want to provide personal information to the publisher.

As for the substance of the article, it is even more sickeningly fawning over the “disease of whiteness” than described in the Front Page review.

Incurable anti-Americanism, and she's doing her best to spread it far and wide.

My Counterstory*
I was born and raised in Los Angeles where public schools adhered to standardized curriculum and pedagogies devoid of any social analysis or recognition of race relations. As such, the daily lived racial experiences of students of color, as myself, were ignored and inherently deemed unimportant, thus forcing students of color to find development of their racial identity at alternative educational structures (i.e. on the streets of Los Angeles.) As a former public school teacher in both Los Angeles Unified School District (South Los Angeles) and New York City Department of Education (Bedford-Stuyvesant), I observed the same phenomenon happening to my Black and Brown students. Notwithstanding the raceless effects of standardized curriculum, I designed a standards-based history curriculum on the evolution of race and racism in American society. I then document the curriculum’s impact on the symbiotic development of racial identities of Black, White, Latino/Chicano, and Asian Pacific American high school students. By translating Critical Race Theory (CRT) into K-12 pedagogical and curricular practices, my students had access to lingua franca and concepts to better analyze race in society and bridge that understanding to their positive development of their own racial identities.

Analyzing race in society is just one of the many layers to my research agenda and identity. Subscribing to the principles of CRT, I acknowledge the intersectionality of class, gender, sexual orientation, and all forms of social, ideological, and political oppression. As a female faculty of color (Pinay) and motherscholar, I continue to struggle towards social justice in all realms of our society for the hope of a better fuller humanity. I am the faculty coordinator of Research Advocacy in Critical Education (R.A.C.E.), a new think tank and support system for Coloradan researchers, activists, staff and students committed to justice and advocacy in critical education.

“Mother-Scholar presents another way of knowing. The book illuminates the narratives of prominent mother-scholars in the discipline of education who are determined to (re)imagine a different educational space not only for their own children, but for all children.

Today’s schools are male-centered institutions in which standardized testing, rational mind, and emotionless space prevent children from realizing their full potential as creative, intelligent and soulful beings.

Mother-scholars in the discipline of education assert that when motherhood and intellect confront and inform each other, a new thinking emerges to capture the possibility of humanizing education beyond the private relationships between mothers and children.”

What the heck is a “COUNTERSTORY*?”

Bottom of the page is where the you can log in and comment.

There is a warning though, and I sincerely apologize for the language as this is a direct quote of the warning—”Reply At Your Own Risk. Leave The Dumbfuckery At The Door.”

Not much of a “safe space.”

I feel so respected and welcomed and validated.

Inclusiveness and welcoming.

Looking at the behavioral issues of other groups, one wonders how someone arrives at the hypothesis that “whiteness” is a disease. I see many more symptoms of various social pathologies in other groups.

If she thinks she has a disease (whiteness) then she should help society rid itself of it by committing suicide. She would not be missed...

Whoever warned us that Communists like to wrap themselves in high-sounding b.s. wasn't wrong. I'm just getting started on this babe, there are so many weeds to cut down in the posted/linked material.

For openers, "Pinay" is a calque, a non-English word used in English without definition or explanation. What I came up with suggests that it is a word used by and about Filipina women. It appears to be a Tagalog calque, Tagalog being the native, and third most spoken, language of the Philippines, after English and Spanish (O! those evil racist white people!). "Motherscholar" is pure cant. No further discussion is desirable, once we understand that the authoress is pissing in our ear.

Re the ill-defined group R.A.C.E. to which Matias belongs, check this University of Colorado at Denver syllabus material, with which you can see Matias is involved, to get an idea what Matias is "teaching" about "the cancer of the planet" </off Sontag>:

[Sorry about the cold link; posting hot links from a cell phone is a bit much.]

That should do for starters on ripping open this Commie cookie's little white-bashing gig.

Which is not to mention how rich it is, for Communist punks to immigrate to America, and then start teaching ghetto schoolteachers crap like this to develop "white traitors" to destroy America.
