White Villa Duchesne student and parents accuse school of discrimination Joel Currier 15 hrs ago ST. LOUIS COUNTY — A white senior at Villa Duchesne and her parents say school officials discriminated against her by siding with Black students who called her a racist, accused her of saying “Black lives do not matter†in class, and threatened to attack her because of it.The private Catholic school in Frontenac discriminates against white students “by encouraging and facilitating race-based aggression†by Black students, unfairly disciplining students based on race and encouraging “the concept that all Caucasians are racist by virtue of being Caucasian,†according to a lawsuit filed against the school Dec. 21 by the 18-year-old student and her parents.“The goal is to stop the indoctrination of students with this critical race theory and to also make the community aware that even at Catholic parochial schools, this bizarre, racist, anti-racism is being force-fed down the throats of their children,†said their lawyer Mark McCloskey, who gained broad attention last summer because of a confrontation with racial justice protesters marching past his Central West End mansion.

Radicals in the Classroom: San Diego’s school district tells white teachers that they are guilty of “spirit murdering†black children and should undergo “antiracist therapy.â€Christopher F.

According to these notes, Love began her presentation by claiming that “racism runs deep†in the United States and that blacks alone “know who America really is.†She argued that public schools in particular “don’t see [blacks] as human,†are guilty of systemic “anti-Blackness,†and “spirit murder babies†in the education system. ...
