select-their-oppressive-identities/

A third grade teacher in Cupertino, Calif., reportedly hosted a lesson in
which students were required to identify aspects of their identity that
were either privileged or oppressed.

The lesson is the latest in a series of incidents around the country that
raised questions about how critical race theory is influencing US
institutions.

Discovery Institute researcher Chris Rufo, who has opposed critical race
theory training in many settings, flagged the lesson, which reportedly
took place during a math class. A slide leaked by Rufo identifies lists
“White,” “cisgender,” “Christian,” and other traits as part of the
“dominant culture in America.’

Other materials instruct students to create an “identity map” with their
race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender and other attributes. Two
slides specifically tell students to “circle the identities that hold
power and privilege on your map,” as well as to write about which of their
identities “hold power.”

Rufo told Fox News the school that Meyerholz Elementary shut the lesson
down after parents demanded a meeting with the principal. One of the
parents reportedly told Rufo: “They were basically teaching racism to my
8-year-old.”

SCOOP: A Cupertino elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct
their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to
their “power and privilege.”

I've obtained exclusive whistleblower documents from inside the classroom.
They will shock you. ??

Another likened the content to the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

It divides society between “the oppressor and the oppressed and since
these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only
way to change it is via violent revolution,” the parent reportedly said.
“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.”

When asked about Rufo’s article, School Board President Jerry Liu told Fox
News that he believed the material was inappropriate.

“The incident that you’re referring to happened late last year,” he said
via email. “The district had received several parent complaints and
followed up with an investigation. After the investigation, we believe
that the material that was presented in the class was inappropriate. The
Meyeholz [sic] principal has reached out to the parent community to
explain our position and we have communicated this determination to the
teacher as well. For privacy reasons, I am unable to comment further on
personnel issues.”

Meyerholz’s incident was just the latest in what appeared to be a broader
trend after the George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis last May. In
December, Fox News reported on a lawsuit in which a Nevada charter school
allegedly told students to reflect on oppressive parts of their identity.
Most of the reaction to these trainings has occurred at the governmental
level, but December’s lawsuit indicated that more individual complaints
could be coming in the courts.

After Rufo published a series of allegedly leaked documents from diversity
trainings, the Trump administration ordered federal agencies to halt those
events last fall. Trump himself signed two executive orders on the issue,
including one that installed a commission to promote “patriotic education”
in the US.
