Five year old children who are White are being told that it is their fault that Black kids are shot in the back. According to documents obtained by Christopher Rufo, education in Buffalo public schools are basically declaring that students must be âactivistsâ fighting for âantiracismâ who âuse their voicesâ in the battle for wokeness.
SCOOP: Buffalo Public Schools claims âall white peopleâ perpetuate systemic racism and forces kindergarteners to watch a video of dead black children warning them about âracist police and state-sanctioned violence.â
I've obtained whistleblower documents that will shock you.?

The story begins with the district's diversity czar, Fatima Morell, who developed a new antiracism curriculum and told teachers they must become âwokeâ and achieve âcritical consciousness,â a Marxist pedagogical concept training students to identify and subvert their oppressors. pic.twitter.com/R376GYytdh

In a presentation to teachers, Morell claimed that America âis built on racismâ and that âAmericaâs sicknessâ leads some whites to believe that black people are ânot human,â which makes it âeasier to shoot [them] in the back seven times if you feel like it.â pic.twitter.com/ou46eq2sek

Last year, Fox News reported on the district's mandatory Black Lives Matter curriculum, which required schools to commit to âdismantling cisgender privilege,â creating âqueer-affirming network[s],â and accelerating âthe disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics.â pic.twitter.com/ijOnpgwWuk

The individual lessons, which I have obtained, are even more divisive. In kindergarten, teachers require students to watch a video that dramatizes dead black children warning them about the dangers of being killed by âracist police and state-sanctioned violence.â pic.twitter.com/JZA950Nv9p

In middle school, students are told that âall white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racismâ and that âwhite elites work to perpetuate racism through politics, law, education, and the media.â Whites derive their wealth from slavery and are "unfairly rich." pic.twitter.com/MyqWkKOf93

In high school, students must begin âconfronting whiteness in [their] classrooms,â with teachers asking white students to atone for their âwhite privilegeâ and to âuse their voicesâ for the cause of left-wing "antiracism." They must become activists. pic.twitter.com/PQvDj5M2jQ

Teachers within Buffalo Public Schools tell me the new antiracism program pushes âradical politicsâ into the classroom and has devolved into âscoldings, guilt-trips, and demands to demean oneself simply to make another feel 'empowered.'â Teachers are afraid to speak out.

Buffalo Public Schools are a disaster: by fifth grade, only 18 percent of students are proficient in math and 20 percent are proficient in English; one-third of all students fail to graduate from high school. The new âantiracismâ program will do nothing to improve these outcomes.
