McWhorter: ‘Many School Districts’ Are Sending Message that ‘Essence of Being Black Is Being Oppressed’

EXCERPT:
MCWHORTER: “What’s going on is that in many school districts, in both private and public schools, there is a general message being taught that to be white is to be culpable, that the whole American experiment can be argued to have been polluted from the very beginning by the stain of racism, and that the essence of being black is being oppressed. A great many people are under the impression that that really is a suitable default education, that teaching kids that particular perspective on things is what an education is supposed to be. And the problem is, that’s not something that all reasonable people will agree with. And instead, what we have is this word game where somebody calls what I just said Critical Race Theory, and then somebody else says, well, that’s not what’s in papers that some legal scholars wrote 30 and 40 years ago. That isn’t being taught to eight-year-olds, as if that’s what anybody meant.”
