An Elementary School in Washington, DC faced a growing backlash Monday after teachers allegedly asked students to “identify racist family members” to teachers and members of the faculty.
“According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an ‘Anti-Racism Fight Club’ presentation by speaker Doyin Richards,” reports Fox News.
“As part of this work, each student has a fist book to help continue the dialogue at school and home,” Singh’s letter stated, linking to Richards’ presentation. “We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions. This is a normal part of the learning and growing process. As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning.”
“If you are a white person, white privilege is something you were born with and it simply means that your life is not more difficult due to the color of your skin,” the “Fistbook for Kids” states. “Put differently, it’s not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it.”
“As we sit here today, it is still woven into the fabric of our homes, communities, schools, government, economic system, healthcare, and so much more. As a matter of fact, it would be difficult to find one facet of our society where racism does not exist,” the author adds. “White supremacy isn’t the shark, it’s the ocean.”
“DC Public Schools provides joyful and rigorous academic experiences for our students and is committed to advancing educational equity,” the district explained in a letter. “In December, a resource link with this content was shared in a parent newsletter at one of our schools. It is not part of our DCPS curriculum and was not shared with students,” the district said, referring to Richards’ guide for adults.

Get your kids out of these schools and homeschool! It’s the only way to save our children.
Government stupidity shines brightly
The truth is that UK, Spain, Portugal, others brought enslaved Africans and Irish/Scots, others to the New World beginning in 1619
USA was created in 1776; we finally kicked out slavers UK and Spain in 1790 and within 10 years northern states began abolishing slavery.
NYS abolished slavery in 1799.
History states (not necessarily WIKI) that no US ships ever transported slaves to America.
Imagine that – just a few years after USA was founded slavery began its fall after thousands of years thanks to the USA.
So USA and white Founding Fathers should be celebrated every day.
Based on history, the real racists were UK, Spain, Portugal but certainly not USA and certainly not GOP and its great leaders like Lincoln.
We are all GODS PEOPLE, We are ALL CREATED EQUIL. Children are NOT BORN RACIST, It does not matter if they were born White, Black, Indian, (DO NOT PRETEND TO BE OFFENDED, MY PEOPLE ARE “NATIVE AMERICAN”( A.K.A INDIAN) WE ARE NOT OFFENDED BY THAT WORD, ONLY BRAINWASHED WANNA-BE VICTIMS GET “OFFENDED” BY WORDS. Hispanic, Oriental or any other color or mix. Anyone ‘teaching’ or focusing on color has a problem. We are to be JUDGED BY THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER…NEVER BY THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN. *M.L.K.* OUR SOUL OR SPIRIT HAS NO COLOR. THIS IS SICK AND EVIL TO FORCE CHILDREN TO FOCUS ON SUCH RACIST GARBAGE.
GOD BLESS
