Brave, emotional girl from abusive home challenges school board to define how she’s a case of ‘white privilege’
June 25, 2021 | Vivek Saxena
A white Indiana schoolgirl born in an abusive home, who later lost her biological family and who eventually wound up being raised in a foster home, showed up at her local school board hearing this week to ask district officials why in the world they believe she benefits from so-called “white privilege.”
“I was told that I have white privilege. How can a child born in an abusive drug and alcohol abuse home who lost her entire biological family, that has experienced all forms of abuse, be privileged?” the young girl said to district officials.
“If you found a child at 15 months in a home with holes in the floor eating cat poop, would you consider them privileged? Just asking, because when I was told that, I was upset and cried myself to sleep,” she added.
Video footage of her stunning, emotional testimony quickly went viral afterward because of just how powerful her words happened to be.
