A public school in San Antonio segregated fifth-grade students by hair color, subjected them to harassment and abuse, and showed them graphic photos of murdered black children—all as part of a twisted "antiracism" lesson.

Here's the story. 🧵

As NBC-San Antonio first reported, teachers at Leon Springs Elementary School separated students into oppressor and oppressed categories based on hair color. Teachers told the dark-haired kids they were "privileged" and told the fair-haired kids they were "not as intelligent."

Then the teachers gave the fair-haired students a game with pieces missing so they could not play, suggesting that they deserved mistreatment. After the game was over, the teachers forced the fair-haired children to clean up after the "privileged" children.

As part of this lesson, the teachers also showed clips from the Spike Lee documentary, "4 Little Girls," about the Alabama church bombings, which included graphic autopsy photos of the dead children—which is completely inappropriate to show to a group of 10-year-olds.

The intention of the lesson was to expose "inequity" and make the fifth-grade children feel the pain of "segregation." But the exercise went haywire: students began crying and told their parents that the teachers were segregating and psychologically abusing them.

Families were furious with the district. After the backlash, district administrators said that they "recognize the parent's concerns and agree that the activity and video are not age-appropriate and will not be used again."

Sadly, this kind of practice is becoming more common in American public schools. Here's my essay from earlier this year about "segregation in the name of social justice": christopherrufo.com/the-ghost-of-j…
