In 2015 the Fieldstone Academy in NYC, a K-8 school, took kids from 3-8 and separated them into racial affinity groups for 45 minutes a week.
If the kids were white, they were told that they were oppressors and their race was responsible for all the evils in the world.
All non-white kids were told they were oppressed, and they were told of all the great things their races had done.
Within a couple of months, the school had huge race problems. Kids from all racial categories started spouting ethnonational rhetoric.

The latest episode of my podcast is out on SoundCloud. I spoke with @YasMohammedxx about the fate of women in Afghanistan, the failure of the US and the West, in general, the implications for the region. soundcloud.com/obaid-omer/ep-…

In 2015 the Fieldstone Academy (K-8) in NYC divided students by race for 45 minutes each week. They had all the racial groups, except white kids, talk about their group's achievements & how they were oppressed. They asked the white kids to talk about how they were oppressors &
to discuss their privilege.
What happened yesterday was, in large part, the result of the Fieldstoning of America for the last 4 years.
The rioters yesterday are responsible for their actions, I'm not letting them off the hook. Trump inflamed people.

Thread on the idea of Repressive Tolerance.
Herbert Marcuse wrote an essay in 1965, defining the idea. It is just another form of blasphemy, but it is more proactive. IMO it is one of the most harmful ideas of the last 60 years and has become ubiquitous. la.utexas.edu/users/hcleaver…
If you don't want to read the essay or want to get more of an understanding, read this by @ConceptualJames newdiscourses.com/tftw-tolerance/

When I worked in war zones, we were regularly given situational training. This included mine and situational awareness, and a whole slew of safety training. Every time we left the base, we were given a briefing about the route and a refresher on mine and situational awareness.
After the first few years, I would bring this thinking back with me. When I came home, I would have a hard time walking on grass because we were told to stay on hard surfaces. At times I would catch myself paying close attention to surroundings.

Angry, probably incoherent, rant incoming.
This is insane. This is a workshop to dismantle white supremacy culture in schools. Just look at some of the things they consider white supremacy culture. culturallyresponsiveleadership.com/category/white…
I want to focus on a few of these "symptoms of white supremacy culture."
Individualism, Objectivity, Worship of the written word.

Critical Race Theory and the anti-racism movement based off of it are dogmatic and racist, there is no other way to describe them.
How ‘White Fragility’ Theory Turns Classrooms Into Power Struggles thefederalist.com/2020/02/28/how…
How else do you describe something that focuses on and highlights the differences based solely on skin colour? CRT's focus is to divide not bring together.
Ideas like Whiteness are abhorrent. Telling school children that being on time is acting White is child abuse.

1/n "For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house"
The whole Rogan/Sanders thing is a manifestation of this.
Rogan and Sanders were using the best tools we have, their ability to discuss things freely. Joe's endorsement, same thing.
2/n The people who tout this saying, talking about science, reason, logic, free speech, don't understand these things.
These tools are not the master's tools. They are fire given to us by Prometheus so that we can liberate ourselves.
Science et al are designed so that by their
