‘ARE WHITE PEOPLE BETTER THAN ME?’ MOM PISSED SCHOOL GAVE 8-YEAR-OLD WHITE PRIVILEGE PAPER

Editor's Note: It's noteworthy that these numbers are obviously conflating Jewish ancestry with European ancestry. Take the music industry for example... https://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-music/

‘I think the message itself is inappropriate…’


A Raleigh, North Carolina mother is furious at her son’s elementary school for passing out a “white privilege” pamphlet to second-grade students.
Amber Pabon said her 8-year-old came home from school asking if “white people are better” than him after being given a paper explaining “white privilege.”
“He’s 8 years old. What does he need to know about racism or white privilege?” Pabon asked WTVD.
‘I think the message itself is inappropriate because yes there is racism out here, and they need to learn about it, but let the parents do that,’ Pabon continued.
Statistics shown in the handout seem to have been copied straight from a YES! Magazine article from 2017.

On @ABC11_WTVD at 4, 5, and 6 - a Hunter Magnet Elementary parent upset over a sheet explaining white privilege was sent home with her child. Why the school’s PTA says it’s part of a larger message about generating awareness + empathy to create a safe + equitable school community
