New York School Principal Urges Parents To Become ‘White Abolitionists’ With Propaganda Graphic
February 16, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
A New York college prep school sent white parents literary materials asking them to identify their “level” of whiteness, ranging from “white supremacist,” which is depicted in red, to “white abolitionist,” depicted in green.
According to race education watchdog Christopher Rufo, white parents of sixth- through 12th-graders received the “tool for action” from the principal of East Side Community School asking them to work toward becoming white traitors and abolitionists by “subverting white authority” as well as “changing institutions, dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.”
“This is the new language of public education,” Rufo tweeted along with a graphic depicting the “8 white iden******.”
The curriculum, authored by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies, political science, and sociology at Northwestern University, weaponizes language such as “superiority” and “white regime” to challenge people who operate without fully acknowledging the “burden of Blackness.”
“There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white iden******. People who identify with whiteness are one of these. It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others,” the list reads.
Hesse often advocates for similar ideals on his now-limited Twitter page, openly advocating for “All Black liberation” and criticizing “whiteness.”
The graphic also appears to have been produced and dispersed by the Slow Factory Foundation, a progressive climate and race action group, in June of last year, shortly after the death of George Floyd as violent riots were breaking out in cities all around the nation. The organization, which claims it is devoted to “dismantling colonial systems of oppression” and “promoting systemic change towards regenerative social and environmental systems,” also often advocates for “equity-centered education” focused on creating and delivering resources about “power structures and historical social context as a key driver of any topic.”
Some of the group’s initiatives, including their “Study Hall” conference series devoted to “using fashion as a medium for social & environmental change,” are sponsored by many big-name donors, including Adidas, Tesla, YouTube, Gucci-Dapper Dan, and TED. These conferences, the Slow Factory webpage states, “prioritize and center the voices of Black, Brown, Indigenous and other marginalized voices” to deliver and create sustainable literacy resources for education and other “partnerships.” The group also frequently advocates for causes outside of fashion and race on its social media, including encouraging its followers to free *********, oppose capitalism, celebrate the death of Captain Cook by native Hawaiians, and “burn the colonial state with me.”
Yep, and the NY Dept of Education sees nothing wrong here.
New York City Department of Education official told The Post that some parents at the school, which caters to sixth- through 12-graders on the Lower East Side, first shared the material with staff.
The principal then disseminated it to every parent “as part of a series of materials meant for reflection” and as “food for thought,” the official said.
A DOE rep said in a statement, “Anti-racism and the celebration of diversity is at the core of our work on behalf of the young people of New York City, and the East Side Community School’s students, parents and staff partner together to advance equity in their community.
“The document in question was shared with the school by parents as a part of ongoing anti-racist work in the school community and is one of many resources the schools utilizes.”
And we wonder why our kids' test scores in subjects like Math and Science are abysmal, and behind so many other nations who spend alot less per student.
