Thanks Hive account@scienceangel! I'm sure they teach that indirectly..because isn't that how we all learn about culture in Europe? First we learn that all people are equal. But then we learn that white people and western culture is opressive. We don't learn a balanced view on history. We only learn that the west did horrible things to the poor people of africa and the middle east. They don't mention that the crusades were a long overdue answer to muslims trying to conquer Europe for over a 1000 years. They don't teach us that arabs took more slaves, most of which white, than whites took black slaves. They don't teach us about the context in which these things happened. The time and age these things happened.
They don't mention the 100s of thousands of white men who fought and died in the civil war to end slavery.

So, we all learn that western culture is shit and oppressive - and that all our sucess is built on top of the misery of others. Which is of course insane and 100% wrong. But this is what 60%-70% of the white population believes, and this is what they teach our kids in school.

I had to unschool my 4 year old yesterday. The kindergarden people had told one of the kids (not my kid) that he should finish his food. But instead of giving a sane explanation (like..we shouldnt throw away food simply because wasting food is bad and disrespectful against the plant/animal and the peope who spent time to manufacture the food) they shamed the child. They said; "Think about african kids. They don't have any food!"

I told my 4 year old that well..do you think that the african kid get more food if you finish your food? And he just laughed and said no. And I told him he shouldnt have to care about some child in africa. That's not his responsibility.

I mean..shaming and laying that heavy burden on a child. Like he should feel responsible for another persons misery. And that's why you ideally shouldn't have your kid in kindergarden (or school)
