The 8 White Identities

Again, you've spent hours digging up nonsense which NO ONE on this board - including the "leftards", as you guys call us - supports.
The guy's an idiot. Pat yourself on your back for your "brave stand against cancel culture" and then go back to your next few hours of reading the Net for your next "discovery".

i would be an "IDGAF-ist" about the whole silly project.
You cared enough to post here, plus you also seem slightly offended this thread might be directed towards people like you
You guys are trying so hard to start an argument with me. In fact, I cut and paste the Twitter link and sent it to my law partner to wind him up, so I can laugh at him. He's got the same views as you guys and this will stop him working for the rest of the afternoon, as he gets madder and madder and goes further and further down the rabbit hole.
He's still be talking about it tomorrow - as will you dudes.

TFW no one realizes that they don't mean to literally abolish white people, but the concept of whiteness as the supreme standard where white people are just people and rest of us are the ones with labels and seen as inferior. The right is always arguing that the left is too emotional, but get so rattled up that they can't critically think through what is being presented to them.
Teaching white students (and their parents) that they are racists is now part of the curriculum in many blue state educational systems.
I'm calling 100% bullshit on this story. In other words, I'm saying this never happened.
The only "news organizations" that are saying this incident happened are right-wing US-based propaganda sites, like the Federalist. No New York City papers -- even right-wing ones like the New York Post -- are even reporting on this incident. If it happened, the Post would be all over it.

Schools being apolitical is actually a problem, politics of race aside, the rise of populism and the use of rhetoric to cause conflict as we saw in the storming of the capitol in America, benefit from us as a society not understand the rhetorical techniques being used against us. A well informed population would solve a lot of the problems we are having, critical thinking is severely lacking in our society whether about politics or anything else. We see this in literally every sector, we have all worked with someone who only knows how to follow the steps in their training and the second an event causes a deviation from what they were taught, they do not have the ability to critically think through how to resolve the issue at hand. A few political theory, comparative politics and international relations classes with a heavy emphasis on analytical reasoning being incorporated into high school curriculum would not be the worst thing and are often part of social studies to a lesser degree anyway.
But it is obviously this person in the video is using rhetoric himself, he doesn't actually explain anything and leaves things very vague so that you can fill in the missing premises. This rhetorical technique is called enthymemes and Aristotle discusses it quite a bit in his writings on rhetoric. Schools have never been apolitical, we learn a bit about politics in social studies as previously noted. Politics is much more than what people seem to realize, I suggest you google any universities political science degree and look at the course offerings. Schools have never, and will never be apolitical, but we do need more critical political analysis to be taught in school to help with peoples lack of critical thinking.
Right wingers are so easily triggered by fake stories like this.
I agree that’s the issue. Labels. They don’t work. Identity politics doesn’t work. Also, I have no idea what the definition of white is. North America white? Whats the definition of black? 6th generation, landed immigrants from Jamaica? As soon as you start believing in generalizations and labels you’re fucked.
The list may be real; what I don't see any reliable evidence for is that a principal from a New York school was sending this list to parents.
