Teaching kids to see skin color as an essential part of their identity is what America spent decades fighting to get away from. The Sesame Street I grew up with in the 1970s was all about de-emphasizing race - the show's cast was diverse, the muppets were racially ambiguous.https://twitter.com/NBCBLK/status/1374965165553295363 …

They do want white kids to consider the color of their skin important though. That's part of the 'antiracist' (vs non-racist) ideology. They expect this to somehow turn out well.

It can't be a coincidence that the rise of "racial literacy" also saw Latinos swing in lots of areas to the GOP in 2020. When progs dump on European culture, values it insults some Latinos since large parts of our culture doesn't exist w/o it.

It’s unabashed bigotry. But of course it isn’t, because in Woke World no group that isn’t privileged can ever say anything bigoted no matter how outrageous it might sound to a (hypothetical) unbiased observer.
