New Curriculum “Deep Equity” Deeply Racist, Demonizes Whites

A new curriculum, in schools across the nation, teaches that America is a deeply racist nation with a “hierarchy of various oppressions,” as an observer recently put it. Called “Deep Equity,” it demonizes whites while deep-sixing debate, instructing teachers to reject and resist parents who disagree. The idea is that dissenting white people are simply too ignorant and immersed in privilege to recognize and acknowledge their oppressor status.

That’s according to Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, who reported on the curriculum Friday. Created by for-profit “education” company Corwin, owned by SAGE Publishing, Deep Equity is the latest example of how the “Left has abandoned education in favor of naked political propaganda,” states Carlson.

Corwin describes its curriculum “as a teacher training program that is ‘aimed at producing real school improvement for equity and social justice,’” Carlson relates, quoting program materials. How does Deep Equity purport to accomplish this?

Mainly “by attacking the students on the basis of their skin color,” says Carlson.

“According to deep equity, America is based on a hierarchy of various oppressions: Men oppress women, Christianity oppresses Islam, English oppresses Spanish, white people oppress everyone,” the pundit continues.

“And, by the way, if you have a problem with this explanation, you are yourself entrenching oppression; you’re part of the problem. According to Corwin, differences in academic performance have nothing to do with culture or effort; they are purely the product of racism”

How does Deep Equity fight this “racism”? By instructing teachers on “different types of ‘white identity orientations,’” Carlson further explained, calling it “pseudoscience.”

Unlike today’s fashionable “identities,” however, whites’ choice of identity won’t automatically be respected. After all, most white people have a “Fundamentalist White Identity,” defined by “denial,” “ignorance,” and “supremacy,” Deep Equity tells teachers. Never fear, though, they can possibly work their way toward “wokeness,” as the instructional sheet below informs.

Moreover, if whites are willing to humbly and obediently sit at the feet of their enlightened betters and learn “their whole life,” they can advance what the curriculum calls the “White Allies Action Agenda,” whose instructions for becoming a tolerable white person are below.

Deep Equity White Allies Action Agenda

Unsurprisingly, a teacher Carlson’s team spoke to who has used Deep Equity says that the curriculum forces educators to become “racial activists.” It’s a divisive, resentment-rousing program “certain to confuse and wound and divide our kids of all colors,” as Carlson puts it.

And if you think, “This couldn’t possibly be in my kid’s school,” think again. It’s taught all over, even in places such as Fauquier County, Virginia, which voted for President Trump by 25 points, Carlson points out. It’s also in “West Des Moines, Iowa; it’s in Chandler, Arizona; we could go on,” the commentator continues.

Why can bizarre social engineering be in even so-called good school districts? Remember that whether in the city or country, Gotham or Mayberry, all schools’ educators are generally drawn from the same teachers’ colleges and are indoctrinated similarly.

Moreover, schools tend to use textbooks from just a few publishing companies, which compile these learning materials based on the desires of major markets such as Texas and, to the point here, ultra-left-wing California. Ergo, your son in Salem, South Carolina, could be reading a “San Francisco” textbook.

Add to this that school administrators tend to be far more left-wing than the communities they serve and it’s unsurprising that not only is Deep Equity metastasizing rapidly, but that the radicalism it represents is nothing new in our schools.

As one of many, many examples, I reported in 2016 on how the for-profit Pacific Educational Group (PEG) was busy teaching “white privilege” peppered with Marxist dogma to America’s schoolteachers. In other words, Deep Equity is just the latest, most radical edition of same-old-same-old with a stylish, marketing-worthy name.

There’s big money in indoctrination, too. Eighteen school districts reportedly paid PEG a combined $1.56 million in just 2014-15 alone. That’s your tax money at work — and it’s funding Deep Equity as well.

Moreover, “No one will ask you if you like it or not, and don’t bother to complain,” notes Carlson. “Deep Equity orders teachers, and we’re quoting now, ‘to explicitly reject and resist any parents who disagree with it.’”

This also is just the latest iteration of an old idea. Back in the ’90s already, sexual devolutionary school activists recommended dealing with opposition to their indoctrination by keeping parents in the dark and moving forward “independently.” As Imani Matthews, a teacher at the private Riverdale Country School in New York, put it circa 1998, “There isn’t a loving presenter of the other side.”

Unfortunately and increasingly, in government and private schools, the only “side” presented is the one that wants to “love” your kids to death — and it’s killing our civilization. This is why support for homeschooling is registering a marked increase. For as intellectual and moral rot increase in the educational establishment, what other recourse do concerned parents have?

Concerned parents blast Britain’s toughest ‘Tiger Headmistress’ after she told them to ignore children who accuse teachers of racism when in trouble

She is talking about made-up accusations being used to undermine discipline

The headmistress of 'Britain's strictest school' has sparked outrage after suggesting parents should ignore children who accuse a teacher of being racist.

Katharine Birbalsingh, headteacher and founder of the notoriously uncompromising Michaela Community School in Wembley, London, faced a backlash today after telling parents to 'back the teacher' when pupils 'accuse them of being racist'.

The school, which opened in 2014, demands older pupils do 90 minutes of homework a night, bans phones, makeup and loud talking and makes students eat vegetarian meals. 

Ms Birbalsingh was asked about teachers showing favouritism before replying on Twitter: 'Who cares?! It is like saying 'Teacher is racist' or 'Teacher doesn't like me'.

'Ignore it. Work hard. Indulge your kid with their grievances & you destroy all hope of success for your kid. Up to you. My advice is: Back the teacher even if you don't like them.'

Teacher Patryk Malinski replied: 'Back the teacher if he/she is racist? Are you serious?'

Ms Birbalsingh added: 'Yes I am being serious. If child says teacher is being racist, back the teacher. Whatever the child says, back the teacher. 'If you don't, you are letting the child down and allowing them to play you for a fool.' 

The school hit the headlines in 2016 when a pupil was given a sandwich and piece of fruit to eat in 'lunch isolation' when his parents did not pay the termly dinner fee.

Ms Birbalsingh and her staff were trolled on social media and even received death threats over the incident, but the headteacher remained unrepentant.

Former British boxing champion Ashley Theoplane added: 'So under your leadership. Racist teachers have protection.'

Director of communications at Pride London, Rhammel O'Dwyer-Afflick, added: 'Astonishing... teachers have a duty to safeguard their students and that includes investigating all concerns.

'Yes, some students will make unfounded allegations but that doesn't mean each case shouldn't be taken seriously.'

Speaking from school today, Ms Birbalsingh said: 'If your child is in trouble and your child says my teacher is racist - you should be backing the teacher. If you genuinely think the child is being subjected to racism then have a word with the head.

'If the child believes that every time they are in trouble for not doing their homework or everytime they are in trouble for misbehaving in lessons - all they have to do is to go home and say teacher is being racist.

'The child will use that excuse whenever they can because that is what they do. 'I would say it happens all the time. Teachers are genuinely frightened of being called racist.

'If you are terrified of being called a racist you can't hold your standards high. Black kids have an extra card to play when it comes to this sort of thing.

'I have not seen the social justice tweets but they actually ruin black people's lives.'

Feminists demonize male sexuality

Bettina Arndt

It’s rather timely that I planned this week to post a video of a talk I gave at the Chicago International Conference on Men’s Issues (ICMI 2019), speaking about the successful feminist campaign to rein in male sexuality.

The campus rape tribunals are the result of effective lobbying by these activists which has succeeded in making university campuses unsafe places for most young men, with any sign of healthy male lust leading to male students being targeted and sometimes thrown out of university.

But campus rape allegations are simply the tip of the iceberg. Men are in trouble for looking at women in the wrong way, for not keeping their trousers zipped, for viewing pornography, for showing normal male sexual curiosity and expecting sex to be part of a loving marital relationship.

Men today are not just chaste – they have been neutered. “Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist,” said Camille Paglia. That’s right. Men are now totally stuffed.

Here’s the new video. I hope you enjoy it.

Ah, but it does mean precisely that. Accusations of Racism, Sexism, etc. should be treated seriously only when they are serious. The vast majority of them, in this day and age, are risible.
