A Silicon Valley elementary school recently told third-graders to rank themselves according to their .power and privilege,. whistleblower documents revealed.

A third-grade teacher at the R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School in well-to-do Cupertino, California, conducted a lesson on .social identities. during a math class, Christopher Rufo reported at Manhattan Institute.s City Journal.

According to the report, based on the whistleblower documents and parents. comments, the teacher asked the young children to create an .identity map,. composed of characteristics such as race, class, gender, religion, and family structure.

Next, the teacher taught the children they live in a .dominant culture. of .white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker[s],. with others of privilege who .created. their culture in order .to hold power and stay in power..

The young children then read from the New York Times bestseller, This Book Is Antiracist, only to learn their .privilege. allows them .power over others..
...
The third-graders then deconstructed their own identities and were asked to .circle the identities that hold power and privilege. on their maps and rank them using the hierarchy they were taught.

Additionally, Rufo noted the children received another related essay assignment of .at least one full page of writing. describing their powerful and privileged identities.

.As an example, the presentation included a short paragraph about transgenderism and nonbinary sexuality,. he wrote.
...
Rufo reported one parent noted that Critical Race Theory is a reminder of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in that its goal is to portray society as divided between those who are oppressors and those who are the oppressed. The parent explained:

[S]ince these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only way to change it is via violent revolution. Growing up in China, I had learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart; husband hates wife, children hate parents. I think it is already happening here.
