School In New York Teaches White Students That White People Are Born Racist



A young white girl gives a piece of birthday cake to her local garbage man, who is black, illustrating the innocence of a child on matters of race.


A school in New York has come under fire for teaching young students that white people are born racist. Teachers at the Bank Street School for Children in New York are engaging in inappropriate behavior by scolding young white students over their race, while singling out black pupils for special treatment. This is not the way to run a school. Students should be treated the same and taught we are all equal. 

To state white people are born racist is wrong. I do not think it is a fair or accurate characterization. It is a stereotype. There is definitely racism out there. However, there are many decent white people who are not racist. It is not fair to make such sweeping and negative generalizations about an entire race. No one is born negative and racist. We learn to make choices, good or bad, that define who we are as people.
