Absolutely. Affirmative Action is the definition of a "systemic" injustice.

Several months ago, the Educating for American Democracy (EAD) initiative announced $600,000 in grant money to five organizations for K-5 Pilot Projects in civics education. EAD is a national civics advocacy project that has lots of money and prestige. When it went public in 2021, six former U.S. secretaries of education, three of them appointed by Republicans, signed a letter of endorsement in The Wall Street Journal.
One of the recipients of this hefty grant was the Georgia Council for the Social Studies in partnership with the Georgia Center for Civic Engagement and the state Department of Education. The grant, it was said, will help Georgia “better equip our K-5 teaching corps with the pedagogical skills and content knowledge” to send kids to higher grades with “grounding and an inquisitive mindset towards civics and history.”
You should pause over the term “inquisitive mindset.” It’s a bright red flag — not because of the words themselves, but because of the people who will activate them. Where do social studies teachers stand on civics?
That’s not a hard question. A Rand Corp. survey found that the No. 1 outcome of social studies instruction in their eyes was not knowledge of government, law, or U.S. history, but “To be tolerant of people and groups who are different from themselves.” Persuading students to see themselves as “global citizens” slightly beat instruction in the Bill of Rights. Facts and dates came in last, with only one-third calling them essential.

OFFS!
Yeah. How to do math, not so much.
Spotting for systemic injustices is systemic injustice.
BTTT
Seems the LAST things kids are taught at public school is to read, write and compute.
State test after state test of reading, writing and math scores confirm this.

Just look at how quickly and readily society turned on each other during the “pandemic”- people were turning in their neighbors, Karen’s were screaming at independent thinkers who didn’t buy intO the lie, fights broke out because Karens felt threatened by people not wearing masks. Doctors and nurses who refused shots and refused to cow tow to authorities tyranical edicts were fired
Folks wonder how the Germans could so easily and readily have turned on a group of people, the jews, and turned them over to be exterminated, but really, the whole world just proved how speedily they turned on each other with he media in the background cheerlead8ng them to anarchy and hatred agaisnt their fellow man.
The goal of communists and Marxists is to keep the masses ignorant, and blind to the actusl agenda of subduing said masses.
-——Theodore Dalrymple———
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to
reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced
to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.
One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think
if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Would pointing out that Affirmative Action is racist count?
Absolutely. Affirmative Action is the definition of a "systemic" injustice.
Or how to read, know actual American history (not the commie revised version) or write in cursive, maybe not at all.
I know that is asking too much and results in far too judgmental evaluations of students with different levels of social privilege.
