I’ve heard some of the most “liberal,” yellow dog Democrat, “God Bless the Whole World NO EXCEPTIONS” bumper-sticker displaying, safetypin-wearing white women use that same “experiment” line at the top left regarding PRESENT DAY school deseg, so not only am I sharing this comic, I’d like to state with 100% sincerity those are words coupled with actions that are every bit as racist as Trump’s comments about Black neighborhoods. Or, hell, even his keeping black people out of his properties in the ‘70s. When people who consider themselves good and progressive stop making exceptions for themselves so that they can practice racism (against children, no less), maybe – MAYBE – we can start getting somewhere.
As a future teacher, no lies detected. You would be surprised how even so called educated progressive white parents when it comes to these topics can be as nasty as any other racist, even when it is targeted at children. You have had parents literally sue schools for allowing more diverse populations in (aka. Blacks and Hispanics) because it will ruin their perfect schools (it doesn’t, these kids get a better education and the white kids already see no negative change what-so-ever, if anything they become more culturally aware). John Oliver did a great piece on this topic.
And because it’s the norm that so called educated progressive white parents participate in it, it somehow doesn’t count as appalling racism – it’s “good parenting.”
