Teaching students about structural racism has become a political flashpoint across the country. Here's my interview with one of Virginia's leading activists, Patti Hidalgo Menders -- a mother of six who's fighting the state's equity and inclusion curriculum. Via @Sho_theCircus:

1. You can't fix this kind of stupid.

2. Uncomfortable Truths...

“Mommy, why do you hate black people?”

3. "Teaching students about structural racism"

Time for a change in our language.

Teaching students about structural bigotry.
there, fixed

big·ot·ry
/ˈbiɡətrē/
noun

1.obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group:"the difficulties of combating prejudice and bigotry"


According to the science, the concept of race is invalid.

4. Let's not. Bigotry and racism are two different things but they can and do co-exist.

I can see why certain people would rather talk about bigotry than racism, but let's not pretend that racism doesn't exist. Construct or not.

7. You can google any science articles published

in science journals in the last 20 years and find that the term "race" is invalid. There are more genetic variations within the so-called races than between them. Here is what Anthropologist says.

If you accept science, bigotry is the proper term as that does exist.

Race does not exist, unless you are talking about cars and athletes.

Perhaps you can define race. What race was Obama, is a great place to start.

5. Creating "political flashpoints across the country" is part of the far-right's takeover playbook.

For decades the far-right has been targeting local and state elections to increase their national political influence, running candidates in rural statehouse seats, county government, school boards, even library boards. Critical race theory is their Panic of the Moment, used to rally support among their moron base.

6. Wow...

That was some first-class racist trash coming out of that woman's mouth.
