The purpose of the PowerPoint was simple. To instruct teachers that white children need to be told they're racist.


Which is why I am not sure early learning teachers know how to translate this into educational information?

Speaking of which, I think something has been "lost in translation" between the edict from the green council and the reporting in the newspaper. My best guess is this may not be compulsory for all teachers to pass on to the kids.


It doesn't need to be translated because it's not true. It's been proven that white boys, particularly from working class backgrounds are at the greatest disadvantage.


I understand what you mean. There is plenty of nuance here that needs to be injected here because I think the "privilege" tag isn't properly understood by all parties. Until there is more clearer understanding I agree it might be better to deal with these concepts in upper highschool and college aged students rather than little ones.
