Dennis Prager criticizes an anti-racism survey at Eastside Community High School in Manhattan that asks families to rate their "whiteness" on a red-to-green scale. He argues the school's curriculum, which teaches young children about transgender issues and gender-nonconforming play, indoctrinates students with false ideas about race and gender instead of teaching basic facts.
It's another list I need to make. Things that you have to say that are contrary to everything that you observe. Men do not give birth. 2 and 2 is not 5. And, well, what was the third one? Before global warming, there was a third— What are the two you gave? Men give birth. 2 and 2 is not 4. No, I know the— Systemically racist? No, systemically racist would be a fifth one, that's correct. My God, it drives me crazy. I really need to memorize it because it makes it clear what education has Come to. Hmm. All right, we'll figure that out. So here is the, here is the one from New York. The white identities, get it? That's where this began. The principal of the Eastside Community High School, Manhattan, sent parents documents asking them to reflect whether they land on it, where they land. On a scale of whiteness. Whiteness. Sick. It's sick. Mark Fetterman, the principal of Eastside Community High School, a man who could truly say he has ruined the education of his students, could truly say that. He has He's perverted the word education. First shared the material with staff before he reportedly sent the survey to parents at the public school. Oh my God, it's a public school. My view is, I'm sorry, but if you send your child there, then I cannot cry with you when your child comes home not only an ignoramus, but an obnoxious one as well, who will just have contempt for you and your whiteness. Whiteness, wow. The 8 white identities graphic includes a colored meter ranging from red to green, indicating that those who identify in tiers including white supremacists are bad And those who identify as white abolitionists are good. By the way, it's not abolition of even racism only. It's abolition of whiteness, which I guess means teaching that there's one right answer in math. A white married father, 48, who has a daughter, 12, and son, 8, enrolled in two different public schools in Manhattan's District 2 wrote in the New York Post an op-ed in which he said he fears his children are being brainwashed by their liberal school's anti-racism teachings. The dad describes his concerns when he learned his then 5-year-old son was being taught about transgender teenage YouTube star Jazz Jennings. 5 years old. He complained. Why is— why did his son say another day in that school? He said it was inappropriate. He added that he was told off by a teacher for giving pink toys to girls. You hear this? A teacher berated this man for giving pink toys to girls. And blue toys to boys and claimed his son was encouraged to take part in a gay rights walk in the classroom. 5-year-olds on a gay— how do you explain a gay to a 5-year-old? I guess some— what would you say? Some— most men love women, but gay men love men. But of course, heterosexual men love men too. So without any reference to sexuality or sexual behavior seemed to me to be a somewhat of a challenge. We shall return.
