A city public school principal is asking parents to "reflect" on their "whiteness"—passing out literature that extols "white traitors" who "dismantle institutions," education officials confirmed to The Post on Tuesday. The "woke" offensive at the East Side Community School in Manhattan features a ranking list titled "The 8 White Identities," which ranges from "White Supremacist" to "White Abolitionist." The curriculum, written by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies at Northwestern University in Illinois, claims, "There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities. "People who identify with whiteness are one of these," Hesse writes

Does school principal Mark Federman identify as WHITE, and if so, where does he get off heading up such a diverse school when so many Educators of Color would love to have a job slamming WHITE people? The third entry on this school's summer reading list: "I'm Here, I'm Queer. Now What Do I Read? This blog, by writer Lee Wind, collects lots and lots of books with GLBTQ main characters and story lines. Check the list on the right side of the homepage to see a list of books he reviews."

Looks like this infectious insanity could be the prelude for secession of states whose residents will simply not tolerate the anti-Whitey" thing ... such secession will yield the Racist States of Amerika as the residual result. Ironically, SYSTEMIC RACISM will of necessity be the Law of the Land in the RSA that is left after secession. Look at all of the present Sanctuary Cities and that's all you'll see in the RSA.

This is the most racist action taken by an institution since Jim Crow. This principal is a RACIST. Heeds to be fired immediately.

Any parents today who sends children to a government owned, operated, or subsidized school - - should have their heads examined.
How cheap can you be - - to allow your own children to be abused like that?

And these are the sort of "educators" who are so out of touch that they have banned Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, a novel that, if read with an open mind, would do more to heal the race rift in America than all the nonsense written and foisted upon high school students in the last fifty years.

#7, they don’t want to heal the race rift - it’s what gives them power.
The basis for all of this is envy and nothing more. There’s a reason why envy is one of the seven deadly sins.

No one in their right mind should send their children to these schools. Choose a charter or private school or homeschool. I realize not everyone can homeschool because of work, but you can create a homeschool pod with others, hire a tutor who is a disgusted former public school teacher and make sure your child is properly educated. There are so many homeschool resources these days that it should be an easy choice to do this. When the children leave, the money will dry up. I feel most sorry for the poor families who will now have no choice with Biden as president.

No. The NYC public school system needs to reflect on their own stupidity.

I often reflect on my "whiteness," particularly these days. And then I thank my lucky stars.
Not sorry.

Mr. Principal, I find my whiteness as totally cool and a blessing from God. Those not as white as me should feel equally totally cool and blessed about their melanin levels. There is no room in this world for these ridiculous identity politics, sir.

I believe in science, that's why I'm not a white supremacist. Empirical science tells me that there's significant differences in IQs among the various races of people on this planet. While white people have an average IQ of around 101, Asians have an average IQ of 107. And that's why U.S. colleges discriminate against Asian applicants -- they do too well, as a group, on standardized enterance tests like the ACT, SAT and GRE. Therefore, science forces me to be an Asian Supremacist. And yes, I am white.
As for the IQs of those of African or Arabic descent, you can easily look up the United Nation figures on the average IQ by nation. I am not making a racist statement, I am simply discussing empirical science. While there's both a nature vs. nurture element in IQ,
Muslim nations tend to have lower IQs due to interbreeding. According to United Nation figures, in some Muslin nations more than half of the population is married to their own first cousin, which dramatically lowers a person's IQ and increases the likelihood of genetic defects.

Professor Hesse has discovered a way to be published, in order to be promoted.
That is the way of the academic world.
No one should take him seriously, though.

I have never thought about nor even given thought about reflecting on my whiteness, but now that I have, I am grateful for my upbringing for making me what I am. Whiteness had nothing to do with it. Environment is the most important element in a young person’s life, and if you are raised in a culture of nihilism, like being taunted for acting “white”, you will more than likely fail. It’s as simple as that.

The proper response to being asked to reflect on ones whiteness is “Yes, I’m white. And?”

I am so glad and thankful that I was born a Caucasian.
Meaning I don't wear colored glasses to distort my sense or view of life.
God is great. Life is wonderful.

The only times I reflected on my whiteness were on the NYC subway and the Atlanta MARTS train. The few other passengers were reflecting on it too.

Yeah. I periodically realize that my white friends and I are very normal, law abiding and nonviolent people. From watching the news, I see that most violent criminals are not white.
Yep, that's wortha bit of reflection, isn't it?

Civil Rights leaders originally told us that ending racism was the goal. No. Reversing it and pumping it with steroids was their goal.
Racist hypocrites.

We are reliving the 1960s Blue Eyes/Brown eyes experiment by the positively evil Jane Elliot. That awful so-called lesson deliberately set groups of third-graders against one another based upon their eye color and reduced those children to tears. It was supposed to make those white kids know what racism was like after the death of MLK. Ms. Elliot should have been shunned and hounded out of teaching but she instead became a liberal darling.
You do not uplift one race or culture by tearing down another. You do not improve education by making excuses and lowering standards due to the poor test scores and writing skills of one group. Liberals will never get it.
