=== Systemically Racist Education (03:47) ===

[00:00:00]  It's another list I need to make.
[00:00:02]  Things that you have to say that are contrary to everything that you observe.
[00:00:07]  Men did not give birth.
[00:00:08]  Two and two is not five.
[00:00:12]  And, well, what was the third one?
[00:00:14]  Before global warming there was a third Then men give birth Two and two is not four.
[00:00:31]  Systemically racist would be a fifth one.
[00:00:35]  It's correct.
[00:00:37]  My God, it drives me crazy.
[00:00:44]  I need to memorize it because it makes it clear what education has come to.
[00:00:56]  Hmm.
[00:00:57]  All right.
[00:00:58]  We'll figure that out.
[00:01:00]  So here is the one from New York.
[00:01:04]  The white identities, get it?
[00:01:07]  That's where this began.
[00:01:10]  The principal of the Eastside Community High School, Manhattan, sent parents documents asking them to reflect where they land on a scale of whiteness.
[00:01:25]  Whiteness.
[00:01:31]  It's sick.
[00:01:32]  It's sick.
[00:01:34]  Mark Fetterman, the principal of Eastside Community High School, a man who could truly say he has ruined the education of his students.
[00:01:46]  Could truly say that.
[00:01:47]  He has perverted the word education.
[00:01:53]  First shared the material with staff before he reportedly sent the survey to parents.
[00:01:59]  At the public school.
[00:02:01]  Oh my God, it's a public school.
[00:02:05]  My view is, I'm sorry, but if you send your child there, then I cannot cry with you when your child comes home, not only an ignoramus, but an obnoxious one as well, who will just have contempt for you and your whiteness.
[00:02:25]  Whiteness, wow.
[00:02:30]  The eight white identities graphic includes a colored meter ranging from red to green indicating that those who identify in tiers including white supremacists are bad and those who identify as white abolitionists are good.
[00:02:48]  By the way, it's not abolition of even racism only.
[00:02:53]  It's abolition of whiteness.
[00:02:58]  Which I guess means teaching that there's one right answer in math.
[00:03:06]  A white married father, 48, who has a daughter, 12, and son, 8, enrolled in two different public schools in Manhattan's District 2, wrote in the New York Post an op-ed in which he said he fears his children are being brainwashed.
[00:03:24]  By their liberal school's anti-racism teachings.
[00:03:28]  The dad describes his concerns when he learned his then five-year-old son was being taught about transgender teenage YouTube star Jazz Jennings.

=== Explaining Gay Rights to Five-Year-Olds (01:15) ===

[00:03:44]  Five years old.
[00:03:46]  He complained.
[00:03:48]  Why did his son say another day in that school?
[00:03:52]  He said it was inappropriate.
[00:03:54]  He added that he was told off by a teacher for giving pink toys to girls.
[00:03:59]  You hear this?
[00:04:01]  A teacher berated this man for giving pink toys to girls.
[00:04:09]  And blue toys to boys.
[00:04:13]  And claimed his son was encouraged to take part in a gay rights walk in the classroom.
[00:04:19]  Five-year-olds on a gay...
[00:04:21]  How do you explain a gay to a five-year-old?
[00:04:25]  I guess some...
[00:04:26]  What would you say?
[00:04:28]  Most men love women, but gay men love men.
[00:04:34]  But of course, heterosexual men love men too.
[00:04:39]  So without any reference to sexuality or sexual behavior, it seemed to me to be somewhat of a challenge.
