NYT Op-Ed: Parents Who Don’t Send Their Kids To Public Schools Are Racist Theocrats
>Katherine Stewart’s argument is lazy. It’s generalized, misinformed, and reads much like a carnival barker shouting down the looming threat of theocracy, theocracy, theocracy.
>If you are the parent of a homeschool or private school child, you’re a racist theocrat and an enemy of democracy. You may not know it, but you are, according to the paper of record,The New York Times.
>In a breathtakingly shallow op-ed written by Katherine Stewart, the author accuses those who use the term “government school” and parents who abstain from public schooling as engaging in subversively anti-democratic behavior. Why? Because the author cannot conceive of education—that is, an education that supports her own values—apart from government control.
>Let me save you the time from reading the actual column. In essence, Stewart asserts that opposition to “government schools” is based on Confederate-era beliefs about a godless, encroaching, racist state. That’s right, modern school choice is a bastion of Confederate ethics, according to this columnist.

The Hidden (and Not-So-Hidden) Racism In Kids' Lit
>Revisiting a favorite children's book packs a powerful emotional punch. For many mothers and fathers, sharing the books their parents read to them with their own kids, decades later, is one of the highlights of the early years. But oftentimes stories and illustrations that seemed benign in one era become problematic as social mores change.
>In his new book, Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books, Philip Nel studies the paradox of stories that are meant to nurture but can also do harm. An English professor at Kansas State University, Nel has probed racism in kids' books in his classes and in previous books, and he uses this volume to highlight how dozens of beloved picture and chapter books leave negative messages in children's minds. "No one wants to admit to enjoying something or liking something that perpetuates racial stereotypes. But we do, because a book can be beautiful and racist, a book can be a classic and racist, a book can be really pleasurable and also really racist." For instance, one of Nel's personal favorites, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has a big problem in the Oompa Loompas. The characters, which were depicted in early editions as African pygmies, are portrayed as happy slaves, content to leave their native land behind and toil in a factory. Especially for children who are descendants of slaves, such messages can have a pernicious effect on how they interpret their value in the world.

This just in: Parents who don't send their kids to a decrepit building every morning to get their ass beat by Puerto Ricans are racist.

Lol. Oopma loompas remind me more of south americans in origin story. Cocoa beans. Besides its not shocking that huckleberry finn had a nigger or the bible is jew superior perspective. Books are inherently culturally biased and thus somewhat racist.
