Seattle High School Teaches Students Love of Reading & Writing Is “White Supremacy”

In Seattle, a love of reading and writing is now labeled as “white supremacy”…

A concerned father shared a troubling worksheet given to English students at Lincoln High School in Seattle as part of ‘Black Lives Matter at School Week.’

The handout listed ‘9 Characteristics of White Supremacy’ — one of which was ‘Worship of the Written Word,’ which the sheet described as “honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies.”

Take a look:

It has one local father speaking out, calling it “educational malpractice.”

He's right.

Here’s a copy of the worksheet students were given:

770 KTTH shared the local story:

Students in a Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of “white supremacy,” in the latest Seattle Public Schools high school controversy. The lesson plan has one local father speaking out, calling it “educational malpractice.”

As part of the Black Lives Matter at School Week, World Literature and Composition students at Lincoln High School were given a handout with definitions of the “9 characteristics of white supremacy,” according to the father of a student. Given the subject matter of the class, the father found it odd this particular lesson was brought up.

The Seattle high schoolers were told that “Worship of the Written Word” is white supremacy because it is “an erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.” By this definition, the very subject of World Literature and Composition is racist. It also chides the idea that we hyper-value written communication because it’s a form of “honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies.” The worksheet does not provide any context for what it actually means.

“I feel bad for any students who actually internalize stuff like this as it is setting them up for failure,” the father explained to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

The father asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution against his child by Seattle Public Schools. He said the other pieces of the worksheet were equally disturbing.
