Texas Professor Tells Elementary School Teachers to ‘Interrogate Whiteness’
https://www.breitbart.com/education...ary-school-teachers-to-interrogate-whiteness/
SPENCER LINDQUIST 17 Feb 2023
An assistant professor at the University of Texas at Arlington wrote a research paper telling elementary school teachers how they can embed Critical Race Theory into their classrooms and “interrogate whiteness,” the College Fix reported Friday.
Written by Annie Daly, the paper is titled “Race Talk Moves for Racial Literacy in the Elementary Classroom” and was published in the Journal of Literary Research.
The academic article states, “Teachers must engage students in ongoing, critical discussions and be proactive in noticing and naming racist ideologies as they surface in classroom talk and texts.” She also argues that elementary school teachers “need to be talking about race.”
She adds that conversations about race can occur “while reading and discussing literature to empower students of color and white students with knowledge and tools for under-standing, analyzing, and disrupting racism.”
Daly also explains how these conversations “must be ongoing in order for students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to interrogate how racism and whiteness are perpetuated through texts, language, and social norms.”
Meanwhile, she also criticized white teachers, saying that “Classroom race talk is often difficult to sustain, especially for white teachers whose racial identities influence how they resist or comply with dominant social and political discourses that silence conversations about race.”
She also added that research shows “white teachers often fall short in talking critically about race by drawing on ideological frameworks of neutrality and race evasion that minimize the history and continued impacts of racial oppression.”
Perhaps most interesting, Daly explained that as part of her research she spent 10 months sitting in on a fourth-grade classroom with a teacher who had “developed a yearlong literacy curriculum focused on culture, race, and equity.” Daly noted that she observed 31 different conversations on race over the 10-month period, when she would go into the class twice a week.
The discussion topics included “how white ‘founding fathers’ enslaved Africans and African Americans, the possibilities and challenges of the Reconstruction era for Black liberation, and child activism during the civil rights movement.”
There were also discussions on “Colin Kaepernick’s protest of police brutality, immigration, and the Black Lives Matter movement.”
In her paper, Daly created a framework that begins off the assumption that “ideologies of whiteness are actively constructed in the everyday ways people talk, silence, and interact with issues of race.”
She also argued that “Research informed by critical theories of race and discourse … is needed to illustrate how dominant racial ideologies and norms of whiteness are constructed, contested, and ultimately changed.”
An original report from Breitbart News revealed that at St. Matthew’s Parish School in California’s Pacific Palisades, one middle school teacher sent out a letter to parents where she called whiteness “poison.”
In the letter, which was titled “Dismantling White Supremacy in an Independent School,” she also pledged to expose white students to “racially stressful encounters” so that they can become better at “processing, discussing, and enacting change against white supremacy.”
St. Matthews is associated with the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), America’s largest private school accreditor.
Another original investigation from Breitbart News revealed that Kalea Selmon, the former diversity director at an NAIS-affiliated, Catholic all-girls school in Maryland, advocated for separating white and non-white students.
In one speech she gave at an NAIS conference, Selmon asserted that “BIPOC spaces are sacred,” before also adding that “it’s necessary for BIPOC students to have space away from white gaze and that it is absolutely okay to give black and brown students things you’re not giving white children because the white children are fine.” She later resigned following the investigation.

Despicable bigot that I am, I'd have though a literacy curriculum should be focused on ... well, literacy ... you know, reading and writing and such.
Oh, well. Shows how much I know. Back to practicing coded racist hand signals for me, I guess.
Ahhhh, yes! Struggle sessions.
Chairman Mao would be pleased.

Gee, what could go wrong?
Meanwhile, in completely unrelated news, elementary school students also "interrogate" some "whiteness":
Ohio elementary school says black students forced white students to pledge "Black Lives Matter", group beat up anyone who wouldn't comply

Harris Rigby (17 February 2023)
This is out of Ohio. An elementary school made the news when a group of black students mobbed and compelled white students to repeat the "Black Lives Matter" mantra under threat of physical violence.
Well, would you look at that?
A group of young, impressionable elementary kids modeling behavior seen in adults for the last 3 years or more, and we're supposed to be surprised.
From Fox:
The Springfield Police Department said an officer responded to Kenwood Elementary School just before 10:20 a.m. on Monday in reference to an incident that happened on Friday.
When the officer arrived, he spoke with the school's principal, Evan Hunsaker, who said an incident occurred on the playground on Friday during recess.
The principal told police that a group of Black students gathered several White students in the playground and forced them to say, "Black Lives Matter," against their will, the incident report states.
The suspects also allegedly recorded the White students who were forced to make the statement, police said.
Hunsaker told police the students who tried to avoid the situation were chased down, dragged or carried to a particular spot on the playground, with one student getting punched in the head by one of the suspects.
This is evil.
But this is what we are teaching these kids.
It happened on a Friday and the police weren't called until Monday. This was either handled by the school or just ignored completely while the victims went home and complained.
The report shows there were five victims and four suspects involved in Friday's incident...
District officials told ABC station WKEF in Dayton, Ohio, that they are aware of the incident and are "committed to providing our students with a safe learning environment, where they look forward to attending every day."
Police collected statements, and the suspects could face charges of assault and menacing.
"This incident is still under investigation and detectives continue to conduct interviews in the case," police said Thursday. "The Division is working in conjunction with the Clark County Prosecutor's office to determine potential next steps in this matter."
I hope that charges are pressed. This type of hatred and violence can't go unpunished.
But it shouldn't be a shock when young children start acting like the "adults."

I have to ask; Why aren't the white kids kicking some ass?

Sounds like an issue to be dealt with by the Handicapper General.
Well shit, do I have to start calling my female chicken hens something else instead of "the girls"? They've never told me their pronouns so maybe I've been offending them all these years? Maybe the cock-less cocks? The top hen does display the rooster's dominance dance sometimes. Maybe she identifies as a "zir"? "Non-binary feathered they?" I wish they would tell me so I can respect their thems and not be a racist misogynist. Good thing I don't give they/them a smartphone so they/them can make tiktoks berating me for my (wait, is "my" a pronoun derivative?) white supremacy.

"a squashing and flattening until all are equally grotesque, talentless and small"
I have to admit, I am feeling ever so slightly encouraged, because I am seeing this sentiment pop up all over the place, spontaneously, as if a light bulb is being flicked on. The light at the end of the tunnel may still be a train, but at least people seem to be understanding why the wrecking is taking place and who is behind it.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are "anti-science" and "racist".
(So just snack on bugs through the day, you bigots!)

And this is the primary reason I never adopted, and will never adopt, the "e-book" model.
I have made a point, ever since Amazon deleted copies of 1984 off people's Kindles without their knowledge or authorization, to collect hard copies of the world's greatest literature, and nothing with a publication house stamp past 2000.
