DC school gave 4-year-olds ‘anti-racism’ ‘fistbook’ asking them to identify racist family

A public elementary school in Washington, DC, gave children as young as 4 a lesson on “anti-racism” that asked them to identify racist members of their family.

According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an “Anti-Racism Fight Club” presentation by speaker Doyin Richards.

“As part of this work, each student has a fist book to help continue the dialogue at school and home,” Singh’s letter stated, linking to Richards’ presentation. “We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions. This is a normal part of the learning and growing process. As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning.”

Richards’ “Anti-Racism Fight Club Fistbook for Kids” explains that “white people are a part of a society that benefits them in almost every instance,” and that “it’s as if white people walk around with an invisible force field because they hold all of the power in America.”

“If you are a white person, white privilege is something you were born with and it simply means that your life is not more difficult due to the color of your skin,” the “Fistbook for Kids” explains. “Put differently, it’s not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it.”

The “Fistbook for Kids” says anti-racism “isn’t a spectator sport” but requires “being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made.”

A series of questions in the book asks children, “Where do you see racism in yourself? This requires true soul-searching. Be real with yourself, don’t feel guilt/shame and own it. It’s the first step in becoming an anti-racist.”

Just like the Stassi in East Germany - turn in your family members to score ideological points.

1.) Those children are probably not old enough to watch Fight Club without adult supervision.

2.) The use of "fight club" and "fist book" glorifies and normalizes violence to impressionable young minds.

3.) It would be much easier to rat on the members of my family who weren't racist ... it's a much shorter list.  That's what happens when you are born into a family from South Boston, Massachusetts, and came of age during the Forced Busing of the 1970s.

So, are they going to teach these militant social justice warriors to use firearms, pipe-bombs, and other terrorist tactics to fight Whitey's oppression?

Their first target should be Harvard University.  That rat bastid school had slaves, and they only offered $100 million of a $50 billion endowment to make reparations sufficient enough to get the Black Lives Matter wokesters off their lily-white backs.

Off-topic post:
Since you mentioned East Germany, there's an excellent German film about spying in communist East Germany called "The Lives of Others". Worth watching (in German with English subtitles, but still worth the time). It can be "found on the net" (if you know where to go "fishin'" ...)

D.C. School Gives Four-Year-Olds ‘Anti-Racism’ ‘Fistbook,’ Tells Them to Single Out Family with ‘Racist Beliefs’

Breccan F. Thies 2 May 2022

Janney Elementary School in Washington, DC, scheduled an “Anti-Racism Fight Club” event for Pre-K through third grade, teaching children as young as four, “It’s not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it.”

“As we sit here today, [racism] is still woven into the fabric of our homes, communities, schools, government, economic system, healthcare, and so much more,” the “Fistbook for Kids” states. “As a matter of fact, it would be difficult to find one facet of our society where racism does not exist.”

“White supremacy isn’t the shark, it’s the ocean,” it continues.

Children received the “fistbook” as “part of this work” to “continue the dialogue at school and home,” according to a letter from school principal Danielle Singh, which links to a presentation by Doyin Richards — the “Anti-Racism Fight Club” purveyor.

Richards’ “Fistbook for Kids” was used to teach small children that “white people are a part of a society that benefits them in almost every instance,” continuing that “it’s as if white people walk around with an invisible force field because they hold all of the power in America.”

“We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions,” Singh’s letter continued. “This is a normal part of the learning and growing process. As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning.” [Emphasis added].

The “fistbook” tells children that “it’s not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it” — a common idea among critical race theorists who seek to indoctrinate children into the social activist class from a young age.

Indeed, “anti-racism” — a term used to surreptitiously refer to critical race theory — “isn’t a spectator sport,” as it requires of its adherents “being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made.”

The book asked the young children to look into themselves to find racism, which “requires true soul searching,” but is, after all, “the first step in becoming an anti-racist.”

Snitch Nation: D.C. public schools command 4-year-olds to identify the 'racists' in their families
By Monica Showalter

Looks like Pavlik Morozov, the famous child snitch who turned in his parents to Russia's commissars and became a Soviet hero for it, is still serving as a role model, in woke public schools of Washington, D.C.

Here's the latest from Fox News's Jessica Chasmer:

    A public elementary school in Washington, D.C., gave children as young as 4 a lesson on "anti-racism" that asked them to identify racist members of their family.

    According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an "Anti-Racism Fight Club" presentation by speaker Doyin Richards.
