The training begins with a "land acknowledgement," in which the teachers are asked to accept that they are colonizers living on stolen Native American land. Then they are told they will experience "guilt, anger, apathy, [and] closed-mindedness" because of their "white fragility."pic.twitter.com/meUO3GiXNu

After watching clips of Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi, the trainers tell the teachers: "you are racist," "you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies," and that they must commit to becoming "antiracist" in the classroom. They must submit to the new racial orthodoxy.pic.twitter.com/EEFNc0H1em

The teachers are told that they are part of an oppressive white power structure. The trainers claim that "white people in America hold most of the [power]" and that white teachers have an "ability to thrive" that is "being preserved at every level of power."pic.twitter.com/NMTpiyb6Ws

Finally, teachers are told they must become "antiracist" activists. They must "confront and examine [their] white privilege," "acknowledge when [they] feel white fragility," and "teach others to see their privilege." They must turn their schools into activist organizations.pic.twitter.com/1KaJobp5Km
