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.

Private Manhattan School Teaches White Kids They Are Born Racists
Jul. 1, 2016 10:56pm - Instructors at one
private K-8 school in Manhattan are teaching their white
students they are born racist, training them to feel guilty
for benefiting from “white privilege,” while offering
praise and benefits to their black counterparts.
Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the
Upper West Side told the New York Post it is their way of
addressing discrimination, adding that many other private
New York institutions are implementing similar practices,
but many are pushing back against the method — including
liberal parents.
The school of 430 students is separating
white children from their black peers and putting them in
classes where they are forced to feel horrible about their
“whiteness.” At the same time, all the “kids of color” are
put in other rooms where they are instructed to feel proud
about their race and their pride is reinforced with treats
and special privileges...
