(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Paul's students told him they were afraid to speak freely. They have told him that they may never challenge any "anti-racist" teachings in their classes. In fact, a faculty email recommended that the teachers "officially flag students who appear “resistant” to the “culture we are trying to establish.”
When Paul asked a colleague what would constitute "resistance" to the school's culture, these ideas were identified as unacceptable and resistant: a colorblind attitude (disregarding skin color), a belief in merit (character or conduct that deserves honor or reward), and just silence. These kids are to be singled out and reproached if they dare to express doubts.
It sounds more like brain-washing than education. Parents are spending tens of thousands of dollars to submit their children to this.
Paul Rossi thinks this new "culture" is mis-named. It is actually a new racism.
He says, "I find the claim that exposing 11th and 12th graders to diverse views . .will only “confuse” them . . to be a fundamentalist religion, not an educational philosophy."
