    Is this the nonsense you want your children taught as "social studies"? Many parents strongly object to their children being belittled and demeaned in front of other students.

    Given how you posted links on teachers being trained on how to be equitable in the classroom, I'm not sure how this has anything to do w/the lesson plan, not that'd I'd even object if it were.

    "Equity" is just another word for fostering Critical Race Theory in school -- as previously discussed.

    I think it's obvious to every reader now that you have no idea what Critical Race Theory is, given as you keep spouting the twitter nonsense that it's somehow skin color shaming. I recommend you don't get your news from twitter.

    I have posted references that clearly explain what Critical Race Theory is — some directly from professors who invented it. Go read the information and educate yourself.

    The surgeon’s white coat had always provided him a certain amount of protection, insulation from things that happened to other black men.


    But Dr. Brian Williams, a trauma surgeon at Parkland hospital, couldn’t wear the coat everywhere. So he had devised a system of secondary markers, hopeful talismans in case police pulled him over. He bought a specialty license plate cover, signaling he was a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. He listed his status as a military veteran on his driver’s license. He wore his hospital badge around his neck, whether he was driving to work or not.

    Let's see how things are going in the the U.K. where Critical Race Theory education contributes to the neglect of poor white students...

    Terms such as 'white privilege' may have contributed to 'neglect' of disadvantaged white pupils, report by MPs finds

    A committee of MPs agreed with the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities that the term can be "divisive".

    The use of terms including "white privilege" may have contributed to the "neglect" of white working-class pupils in the education system, a Commons committee has found.

    MPs on the Education Select Committee said schools must consider the implication of such "politically controversial terminology" and find "a better way to talk about racial disparities".

    A report by the committee agreed with the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities that the term "white privilege" can be "divisive" and said disadvantaged white pupils have been let down by "muddled" policy thinking.

    It also accused the Department for Education (DfE) of failing to acknowledge the extent of the problem.

    Conservative MP and chairman of the Education Select Committee Robert Halfon said white working-class pupils have been "let down and neglected" by the system "for decades".

    Accusing governments, including his own, of a "lack of attention" to the issue, Mr Halfon urged the Department for Education to "desperately" address the matter.

    DfE said the government is focused on ensuring "no child is left behind".

    Among the recommendations put forward by MPs were the need for tailor-made funding at a local level and a focus on attracting good teachers to challenging areas.

    Apprenticeships and vocational opportunities should also be more widely promoted, they said.

    The committee found that 47% of white British pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) - about 28,000 children - did not meet the expected standard of development at the end of the early years foundation stage in 2018/2019.

    In 2019, just 17.7% of FSM-eligible white British pupils achieved at least a strong pass (grade 5 or above) in English and maths at GCSE, compared with 22.5% of all FSM-eligible pupils.

    The committee found these disparities striking because white people are the ethnic majority in the country, yet FSM-eligible white British pupils are the largest disadvantaged group.

    "If the government is serious about closing the overall attainment gap, then the problems faced by the biggest group of disadvantaged pupils can no longer be swept under the carpet," Mr Halfon said.

    "Never again should we lazily put the gap down to poverty alone, given that we know free school meal eligible pupils from other ethnic groups consistently outperform their white British peers."

    The Conservative MP added: "We also desperately need to move away from dealing with racial disparity by using divisive concepts like white privilege that pits one group against another. Disadvantaged white children feel anything but privileged when it comes to education.

    "Privilege is the very opposite to what disadvantaged white children enjoy or benefit from in an education system which is now leaving far too many behind."

    A Department for Education spokesperson said: "This government is focused on levelling up opportunity so that no young person is left behind.

    "That's why we are providing the biggest uplift to school funding in a decade - £14 billion over three years - investing in early years education and targeting our ambitious recovery funding, worth £3 billion to date, to support disadvantaged pupils aged two to 19 with their attainment."
