WWSND? I've previously met with the school administration and the teacher about my son's 8th grade race relations course at the beginning of the year. I specifically said I'd oppose any white-privilege teachings in the class.
The teacher is making the class watch the controversial MTV Documentary, "White People," which pushes the notion of White Privilege. I'm strongly of the mindset that you do not fix race relations through efforts such as white-shaming. It just increases racial divide and hatred towards whites, while not bridging the gap between races. It does not advance race relations. It exacerbates the problem as evidenced in the increase in hate crimes towards whites, police officers, etc.
Appreciate any collective thoughts before I re-approach the administration.
