Reading from This Book Is Antiracist, the teacher taught the children the theory of "intersectionality" and claimed that “those with privilege have power over others" and that “folx who do not benefit from their social identities ... have little to no privilege and power.”pic.twitter.com/GX77Og36Ai
The teacher asked students to create an “identity map,” listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. They were told to “circle the identities that hold power and privilege."pic.twitter.com/pENBJeZ3cF
In a related assignment assignment, the children were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities "hold power and privilege" and which are "oppressed"—in effect, ranking themselves according to the intersectional hierarchy.pic.twitter.com/kAJurjRlAp

Luckily, the group of Asian-American parents was able to shut down the training from the school. But they are worried that the cultural revolution is spreading: “We think some of our school board members are [critical race theory] activists and they must go."

Tribalism: let’s highlight every single difference everyone has. Then we can all live in constant suspicion, fear and hatred permanently.
The thing that I keep coming back to is that this occurred in a math class. A MATH CLASS.
Why don’t they wear all the possible labels one child could possibly be and then make Venn diagrams out of all the possibilities. Don’t identify the child by name just by their race, class, gender,family structure. These labels will be sewed onto front of uniforms.pic.twitter.com/a5XNfOgXwH
