Virginia Public School Students Made To Play ‘Identify Your Privilege’ Bingo

I disagree with you, a privilege is distinct from a right. Driving, for example, is a privilege, which can be revoked. Bearing arms is a right, not a privilege.

In any event, neither definition supports current usage by the linguistic Marxists.

 

there are no marxists out to steal your ball; seek help

 

Disagree all your want, I am correct but in a sloppy boomer's parochial US context, sure.

Bearing arms can be revoked, rights are an illusion.

Linguistic Marxism sounds like a good name for a strain of weed.

 

there are other groups that want to steal his ball and they need to be locked up.

Instead of certain groups worrying about fake privilege they should be more concerned with working hard, improving themselves, making responsible decisions, and making themselves more educated. This way they wont sit on their butts waiting for entitlements and other Free Stuff.

The kids who check the most boxes are singled out as privileged, thus not responsible for their success. Perhaps they are oppressors. We’ll need to find out exactly what was said.

The kids who check the fewest boxes are humiliated in front of their peers. Whatever may be the words coming out of the teacher’s mouth, those kids are learning false lessons:

• that the world won’t work for them;
• that they have little chance to succeed no matter how hard they try;
• that personal agency is a myth; and
• that school is a waste of time.

The common threads in this “game” for all children, that privilege at birth is destiny and that personal responsibility and effort play only minor roles in success, are as devastatingly false and hurtful as anything one can tell a kid.

 

Did you ever think that kids, unlike boomers, have working brains?

 

A few do, like the one who reported this Marxist nonsense. Sorry to hear about your wife's vision.

 

Thanks, been over eight years coming for her so we are adapted fairly well.

The enemy of good is perfect.

Kids are not fragile, they can take and sift a lot of contradictory stuff and this most recent push on the long Southern Strategy is not a good thing.

 

Parents, churches and schools have been reminding children that they are blessed with good fortune since time immemorial. The linguistic Marxism is something new.

 

I googled the term and though I know reasonably what Marxism is, I know what linguistic capital is and Stalin wrote a short piece once with linguistics in the title, there seems to be no clear definition of it I can see.
