man, i grew up in a small town and was the only person who looked different from everyone else. I was so glad I grew up that way because my parents never harped on race. It gave me such a different view on race so when I moved to the big cities and went to school i couldn't relate to kids who looked like me who had a chip on their shoulder.

[@Mobus_]

Me too! I grew up without any of the hatred being taught to minority kids these days. There may have been one or two instances where my race came up but for the most part, I grew up as a normal, average American kid. It wasn't until my adult years that I saw the bitterness in minorities, especially in the cities.

Agreed! In my life experiences I have taken note of the same things. I work with a fellow who claims he can not be racist because he is a minority. Although he seems to be the one who passes judgement on the color of skin or what people have worked for and earned. I could write a long shot story on this guy but I've met so many others of all races that seem to act or think like him. I was taught at a very young age that we all are born, live, and die. What happens is up to us and our choices. If we choose work hard, do unto others, save not destroy, we will be rewarded with a fruitful life. So far my bills are paid, my family is fed, and my conscious is clear.

And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning. 16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms. 17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired. 18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God; 19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man. 20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites. 21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi. 22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not. 23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain-and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. 24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning. 26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved. -Excerpt is from Ether 8 in "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ".

And the curriculum doesn't allow to teach on classic literature themes. So, in addition to being taught to see everything through the lens of oppressed and oppressor, the children are losing the opportunity to learn how to dissect a piece of literature and learn how to analyse it from all different angles, and to learn how to think deeply about the riches hidden in great writings. they are losing the preparation for more advanced classes they will have in the future.

You should never teach a child that they are a victim even if they are. Someone with a victim mentality will always believe failure is a result of external forces that they can do nothing about and therefore give up. Life is not fair, some people will be given more, have more, have it easier, etc. A victim views that as the system and views himself as unable to succeed because others have as if everyone that succeeds causes others to fail. Someone without a victim mentality looks as failure as their own fault and thus can change themselves and learn to succeed. They view others successes as a path to follow for their own success. Even if someone is truly a victim in sociaty, teaching them they are a victim does further harm to that person.

Teachers at a catholic elementary school in Ontario, Canada were told to fill out a "Cultural Humility Self-Reflection" survey. The survey, or "self-reflection tool," outlines how teachers should adopt specific ideas related to race and culture. Those include recognizing the "privilege" of "dominant cultures" and "systemic racism and white supremacy." They must also accept that gender is a spectrum. The tool has been compared to Maoist doctrine whereby you are continually ‘re-interrogating’ yourself and being ‘rectified’ so that you have the correct Maoist line. We’re so screwed.

Thank you for your videos and your insight, John Stossel. I remember watching you on 20/20 with Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters in the 1980s. You've come to the common sense center, albeit Libertarian, which is fine with me. I'm a retired HS math teacher from Middle GA, and thank GOD we haven't had this crap to deal with....yet.

I had a history teacher who introduced me to John Stossel back in middle school. His reports were informative and they helped me form my own opinions about things. He’s great!

Fun fact: the Author and Illustrator for "A is for activist" is none other than Innosanto Nagara, a children's author, activist, and graphic designer. He is also the founder of Design Action Collective, a self-described Marxist organization that believes "capitalism is an inherently exploitative and alienating system and that socialism presents a positive alternative." Who would of thought.....

Are YOU against teaching the TRUTH about our country's ugly racist record? Or do you believe we should LIE to our children?

According to Randy Wiengarten, Teacher's Union president, there is only 1 truth; the 1 truth is whatever the teachers' union preaches.
