SCOOP: San Diego Unified School District tells white teachers they are guilty of “spirit murdering” black children and should undergo “antiracist therapy for White educators.”

I've obtained explosive whistleblower documents from the training session. Let's dig in. 🧵
This summer, San Diego Unified hired critical race theorist Bettina Love for a district-wide training on "[challenging] the oppressive practices that live within ... school organizations." The district forbade recordings, but my whistleblower took screenshots and detailed notes.
According to the whistleblower notes, Love began by saying that "racism runs deep" in America and that blacks alone "know who America really is." Love claimed that public schools "don't see [blacks] as human," perpetuate “anti-Blackness,” and "spirit murder babies."
The concept of “spirit murder” is at the heart of Love’s teachings. Love writes that public schools are guilty of “the spirit murdering of Black and Brown children,” defines as “a death that is built on racism and intended to reduce, humiliate, and destroy people of color.”
During the presentation, Love argued that “Whiteness reproduces poverty, failing schools, high unemployment, school closings, and trauma for people of color.” She insisted that “white educators must take responsibility” because they uphold “white supremacy culture.”
To correct this, Love argued that “reform will not work” and that schools must adopt “abolitionist teaching" to “remove oppression from its roots.” Love told white teachers they must undergo “antiracist therapy for White educators” in order to overcome their ignorance and racism.
San Diego Unified has been radicalized. In recent months, the district announced mandatory diversity training, added a new racial grievance curriculum, and abolished the requirement to turn in homework on time—all in the name of becoming “an anti-racist school district.”
Unfortunately, these policies will ultimately harm all students, including minorities. As charter school leader @IanVRowe argues, the district's policies are a “modern day version of the soft bigotry of low expectations” that will “dumb down the grading system for all.”
San Diego schools are pushing the dangerous concepts of "spirit murdering" and whites-only "antiracist therapy."

SCOOP: Seattle Public Schools tells teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children and that white teachers must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.”

Let's review the whistleblower documents.👇
The trainers begin by claiming that teachers are colonizers of Native American "ancestral lands" and that “the United States was built off the stolen labor of kidnapped and enslaved Black people’s work, which created the profits that created our nation.”
The participants identify themselves by both gender pronouns and race labels. While it has become commonplace in academia to use gender pronoun identifiers, this is perhaps the first example of an institution creating the expectation for explicit race-labeling in the workplace.

The Seattle City Council will consider legislation to provide blanket immunity to misdemeanor crimes to any person who suffers from poverty, homelessness, addiction, or mental illness.

Here's how the legislation would work. 🧵
As a pretext, the councilmembers claim that "income inequality," "local law enforcement's killing of Black, Indigenous, and people of color," and "poverty, institutional racism, and systemic oppression" are the root causes of crime. ImageImage
The legislation would exempt anyone with an addiction or mental health disorder from a wide range of crimes, including theft, assault, harassment, drug possession, property destruction, and indecent exposure. ImageImage

SCOOP: San Diego Unified School District is forcing teachers to attend "white privilege" training, in which teachers are told "you are racist" and "you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies."

The leaked documents from the training session will shock you.👇
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."
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.

My feature documentary "America Lost" premieres tonight on PBS World!

It's hard to get a conservative film on national public television and we had to fight off multiple attempts to cancel it.

Grateful to my friends at PBS who stood up for this film!

pbs.org/video/america-…
It's been a journey for me with this film.

When I first made the decision to engage politically, I had old funders refuse to return my calls and old friends refuse to work on the project.

The documentary world is hyper-ideological—and I realized that I had to get out.
Two years ago, as I was finishing "America Lost," I wrote my first essay for @CityJournal, which led to an incredible line of opportunities with conservative think tanks and publications.

The documentary world closed its doors; the political world swung them wide open.

SCOOP: The government of King County, WA has a segregation problem.

According to new documents, King County Public Health held a series of racially-segregated diversity training sessions, teaching employees that they have "internalized racial oppressions [and] superiority."

🧵
Last year, the King County government gathered their homeless healthcare workers into racially-segregated sessions—called "race affinity caucuses"—to root out "White Supremacy Culture" and "decolonize their minds."
The trainers told white employees that they needed to deconstruct their "internalized racial superiority," "work through guilt, shame, & other barriers that hold white people back." Then they "remind[ed] white people that work needs to be done to dismantle racism every day."

Dear @TheJusticeDept: the King County Library (@KCLS) is now admitting to instituting a policy of racial segregation.

They use the euphemism "caucused listening sessions," but they explicitly separated people by race—and are in violation of the Civil Rights Act.

Shut it down.
Regarding their point in the final paragraph: as I wrote in my New York Post exposé, I reached out to the race training firm that conducted the segregated sessions and they refused to comment on the story.

Segregation is wrong—and woke segregation is no better.
