Y principal and two Woke teachers were holding court with some students at lunch a few weeks ago and I patiently let them finish. After student said that teaching kids white privilege just provokes anger in kids, she said something to the effect of, "Well they need to be taught." I jumped in and stated a number of things I always state here. I said that teaching kids that they have some sort of "original sin" isn't productive. I talked about the research on implicit bias training, namely that it is bunk. When my principal shared an anecdote about a friend in Arizona and said something about police-suspect encounters, I made the female Woke teacher nearly cough up her lunch by referencing the Harvard study that found that a slightly higher percentage of white suspects are shot by cops than black suspects. She, of course, did not want to hear that. When my principal pushed back and made the argument that disproportionate percentages of blacks are arrested, I pointed out to him that the comparison should not be arrest rates to share of the population, but rather crime commission rates. It's important for the kids to see that an adult will engage on these issues and not cower.
