All this poo poo really is just a way for entitled white people (and mind you I'm white) to try and one up minorities...

So shameful.

any coherent concept of privilege requires a shared understanding of ethnic, gender, and class stratification/struggle

any coherent gently caress of gently caress requires a shared loving of gently caress, gently caress and gently caress balls (penis)

On the other hand, the problem with "Some of these things should be taught at home" is that there are so many parents would teach their kids to be bigoted shitbags towards anyone who isn't 100% heterosexual, 100% cisgender, and the same religion as them.

Certainly true, and certainly a problem, but stunts like that have nothing to do with a solution. Kids are often raised on poor diets and without enough exercise, but that wouldn't be an excuse to force kids in a French class to keep a diary of their BMI. It's categorically inappropriate to turn a French class into that kind of project - it takes time away from, well, French, and also it's a personal intrusion. It would be doubly inappropriate if the views on diet and exercise were heavily skewed by a particularly small-minded read of a particular ideology. (I "believe" in privilege and so on, but I have no faith that that Spanish teacher would deal with the concept in a correct manner.)

And for all that, that inappropriateness has nothing to do with the general importance otherwise of proper diet and exercise. It's not a commentary on diet and exercise. It's just a question of whether or not you are teaching French class, or pretending that being a teacher means that you just plain own kids for 90 minutes a day, during which time those children are yours to mold however you see fit.

Please note that while all complex genders producing a zeta function of zero are posited to lie on the verticle line where the real component of gender is equal to one half this has not been definitively proven. It's a shame, since the distribution of prime genders has been shown to be related to numbers which lie on this line, which is further important to a number of useful gender theories.

Is there a millennium prize for proving or disproving this theory? Because if there is, that means that people with gender studies degrees actually stand a chance to make real actual non-burger-flipping money out of their degrees.

You're right. There are some parents out there that teach their kids beliefs that are different from yours. That's bad and we should stop it.

We'll start fixing the world in Spanish class.

"My son wears a hoodie every single day to school. He covers his head faithfully and rarely hears friends say hello as we walk inside or adults saying good morning as he tends to be lost in his own world, muffled by the hoodie around his ears.
My son would do anything for his little sister and happily get her candy. He would even question any adult questioning him for no reason- as we have taught him to stand up for himself, speak out for what is right, and question authority. He would run from strangers. He would feel safe with a police officer.
I think.
My son, however, can do all of these things without fear. He is white. He ‘belongs’ in that suburb. He looks like every other white kid in the area and a ‘neighborhood watch captain’ would easily dismiss his walking down the street as a normal, every day occurrence. As would a police officer. As would the community.
As a white mother to a white son, I’ve never had to explain to him what he should and should not do when confronted by police. I’ve never had to talk with him about how the world views him or prayed he wouldn’t be next.

..

I have no right to send my son to school tomorrow morning in his hoodie without fear, when so many other mothers will be sending their sons off wondering if they will ever come home."

jfc I can't imagine being raised by such a parent. It's like one of those viral fb posts you see where a mother is really happy about publicly shaming her young son over his sexism. Like I get that these social issues are important but don't take it out on your 10 year old please.

I had a coworker in the Bronx that referred to every black male under 35 by using the newly minted pronoun Trayvon.
