I cannot believe that this is happening in my country as well.

"A female youth worker ordered Year 11 boys to stand up in class and labelled them “oppressors” for being white, male and Christian. A Melbourne mayor has apologised to parents after this. Parents and councillors are calling for the worker to be sacked over the incident, which occurred during a “diversity and inclusion” session last week."

Okay, I guess this would've gotten responses if it were in the US.

But has a thing like this ever happened in the US anyway?

My diversity and inclusion training also pushes blatantly racist lessons. Democrats seem to find it wonderful, but it is dividing the country and building resentment.

Democrats, if you sincerely think saying "China flu" causes hatred and violence, then what do you think constantly talking about systemic racism from whites, white privilege, saying only whites can be racist, and defining whiteness as bad does?

Insulting a group of people because of their race is the very definition of racism, a fact that I am quite sure has completely eluded the "diversity and inclusion" worker. (The fact that excluding a group of people based on their race is the opposite of "inclusion" is also surely lost on that person.) However, the giving of an official apology and the possibility of the perpetrator being fired means that some sanity still exists in Australia.

Put your white kids in a hawaii public school like I got to experience as a kid.

Red rover red rover, send the haole right over.

White kids in hawaii went to private school if they didnt want to experience racism daily.

Sorry your country's being contaminated also.
Maybe parents there ought to get together and find out exactly what's included in "diversity and inclusion" sessions.
Parents here are wising up, but it takes work.

The virus spreads, there is no doubt about that. Melbourne is the epicentre for Australia.
