‘White Privilege’ Lesson at Wisconsin High School Causing Outrage

Neocons say minority students are being taught to hate their “white oppressors”

A Wisconsin high school is under fire from conservative groups after a parent accused its diversity class of promoting critical race theory, or the idea that minorities are disadvantaged by their white oppressors. An unnamed parent told Fox News that students’ assignments and class worksheets seem like indoctrination,” and include a handout on defining white privilege. “They’re teaching white guilt,” the parent told Fox News. “They’re dividing students. They’re saying to non-whites, ‘You have been oppressed and you’re still being oppressed.’” Delavan-Darien High School’s “American Diversity" course aims to help students understand “how feelings, ideas and beliefs interact with the ideas and beliefs of other individuals and groups,” according to the school’s website. District superintendent Robert Crist, saying to Fox News that there is merit to parental concern, has halted the course until the district evaluates the curriculum. (Huffington Post)
