Daily Mail brings news of a local high school where kids were taught that "minorities had historically been oppressed by white people."
According to handouts..., 'white privilege' in the class 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...'....
[One] parent became alarmed after seeing the handouts provided to her 18-year-old son... “I felt it was indoctrination,” she said. “This is a radical left agenda and ideology that is now embedded in our school.”
I hate the use of schools for to indoctrinate children, but what
exactly is the problem here? The students should be taught American history, and racial oppression is a big part of telling the story fairly and accurately. Maybe the name of the class — "American Diversity" — is misleading, in that it suggests a happy rainbow. That said, I'm not surprised to see parents fretting that the teachers are doing political indoctrination. I understand and share this mistrust.

Inga is like that OLD crank at the coffee shop who drives all the customers out.
No Alex, that was Carol_Herman, bless her heart.
A lot of white people died freeing the slaves.
I want reparations for their deaths.
Stalking and being big ole meanies.....ooooh. Nasty nasty conservatives.
Weird, paranoid, vindictive, issues with social interaction, and just fucking pig ignorant on almost every subject is how I would describe the conservative trolls around here. You fit right in.
@Marshal-
That's what she's here for.
And these suckers fall for it every time. But, she's good. An expert.
Nah, I'm done now, that was so cathartic.
She just came, cummed, whatever, knowing the thread became about her.
She's your friend. Just wants to talk. You wanna leave? She breaks your legs, then comforts you with a warm blanket and tea. Then breaks them again.
She's so sweet. A favorite here on Althouse.
There's the old appeal to authority, Inga resorts to threatening to call in Holder and by proxy Obama on Edutcher.
Way to go Inga, see if you can convince Obama that you have been absolved of your white privilege and are one of the good ones who voted for him. Not like those nasty ones like edutcher who you will tattle on him to smite.
Also, after claiming she was leaving, here she is again, to get more of her victimhood fix. Wouldn't be the first liberal addicted to attention and dramatics and how persecuted they are in their own minds.
If there really was such a thing as white privilege, it would include the privilege to be free of the self centered histronics of a narcissitic old crown. Why don't you shuffle your saggy decrepit old ass down to the local bingo hall, although I'm you are much worse in person, and that is not very nice to the other elderly citizens of Wisconsin.
Repeat after me: It's not all about Inga, It's not all about Inga, It's not all about Inga.
Spelling error there. My bad.
Crown = What Obama thinks he should be wearing.
Crone = Inga

Considering your only goal here is being an asshole questioning others's social interaction seems bizarrely hypocritical.

Bizarrely she's sucking up to Shouting Thomas tooday.
I find it hilarious someone who claims the religious right is going to force women into sexual slavery spends so much of her time convinced others are nuts when they overreact. Standards are for those she disagrees with.
Tosaguy@10:56,
I have no illusions that you will see this, but well said!
The Great Sin of today's "historian" is anachronism.
It is an even greater sin because History as a discipline was meant to defend against exactly that.
Brew master@11:03
Again no illusions that you will see this, but you are so right. Nothing like being told that you scored 97 on a 100 point scale, only to be told that after they added in the racial/veteran etc. Bonus additions that the lowest number they called in for a first interview was 103.
Alex.
I'm blamin' the menopause.
"In any case, what such courses really teach how to handle the mandatory diversity training you're likely to face in your workplace- which is, keep your head down and if called upon, just speak whatever lies you're supposed to say."
Heh. ;-)
Another thread down the toilet.
Nice.
Is anyone keeping score....Meade...Meade...Buellar...hello....anyone?
Hee.
As IF Baron Zemo cared about the Althouse blog, good try Baron, hee.
Beware postmenopausal women, they will break your legs and chuckle as they're doing it, no mercy for the merciless.
CWJ,
I scored 100, didn't get a call.
Like I said, eye opener.
"and racial oppression is a big part of telling the story"
No, it's a very small part of the story.
Anyway, now the entire country runs on official anti-white racism, known as affirmative action. They don't mention that.
I don't care about the Jets but I can point at Rex Ryan and laugh!
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!
Boy, the comments around here have been for shit lately. The signal to noise ratio is as low as I've ever seen it in five years or so of occasional drive-bys. Sometimes I am tempted to become a more regular participant, but jeezus! Not now. See ya suckers.

It's long past time for everyone to self-identify as black or Indian when we line up for the government handouts. There's no such thing as race, say the pious lefties, which seems equivalent to saying you can be any race you want to be. Certainly Elizabeth Warren has shown us the way.
