But when the starting gun goes off, the Sprinters of Color are kept at the starting line by a red light while terms such as SLAVERY, BROKEN TREATIES, GENOCIDE, MANIFEST DESTINY, TRAIL OF TEARS, DRED SCOTT, SEGREGATION, CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT, and JAPANESE INTERNMENT fly by their heads.

The nonwhite runners get lapped at least twice before they are allowed to start, but the moment they begin running, dark storm clouds form over their heads to impede their progress. Again they face injustices such as DISCRIMINATION, POOR SCHOOLING, and UNDEREMPLOYMENT.

Unlike the white runners, they are forced to make their way through a shark-infested moat titled STANDARDIZED TESTS. Even though the brownish male survives the life-threatening ordeal of standardized testing, he is suddenly ensnared by the SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE, which captures him in a cage and whisks him away—even though he didn’t commit any crime, which is, like, totally unfair!

The dreadlocked black girl soldiers nobly onward until she finally hits a brick wall marked DEAD END as the result of SHORTENED LIFESPAN. This is a curious alibi for the black woman’s failure considering that in America, black women outlive white men.

The only two runners who complete the race are, but of course, the white male and female, the latter of whom comes in second because the male speeds by her on a conveyor belt due to CONNECTIONS and PRIVILEGE and WEALTH and the OLD BOY NETWORK.

The final message that splashes on the screen is AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HELPS LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.

The film does not bother to attempt explaining why, despite the Chinese Exclusion Act and Japanese internment, Asian Americans outperform white Americans both on standardized tests and in terms of per-capita income, but let’s not get carried away and allow facts to undermine what is otherwise a carefully crafted propaganda piece designed to provide alibis for seemingly intractable black underperformance in these areas.

The screening of this white-bashing video is hardly an aberration. At times it seems as if the White Guilt Industrial Complex is more firmly entrenched in American academia than are trivialities such as reading, writing, and arithmetic.

You will now kindly purge from your mind the idea that this may in some way be related to the fact that American test scores are falling. You must also restrain yourself from pausing to consider that the general thrust of American education these days is not to fill minds with new ideas, but to cleanse them of all unacceptable ideas, no matter how logical, natural, and instinctual those ideas may be.

From preschool all the way through to grad school, American academia is no longer a world of education, but of indoctrination.

It’s where seventh-graders are required to read “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.”

Where a Common Core-endorsed book called The Jacket explains to fourth-graders how a racist white boy named Phil wrongly assumes that it was a black kid who stole his brother’s jacket, even though, if you want to get all racist and technical, black Americans are statistically overrepresented in property crime.

It is a magical world where crude, pseudoreligious parables of collective guilt and intergenerational racial karma substitute for math and verbal skills.

It’s where everything is the fault of whites and nothing is the fault of nonwhites. Low black test scores and high black dropout rates? Blame white racism. High suspension rates for black grade schoolers and high schoolers? It can’t possibly be linked to disproportionate black misbehavior—blame it on white racism again.

The modern American classroom is where the only acceptable explanation for stubborn educational and financial disparities between whites and nonwhites is white racism.

It’s where teachers routinely flock to conferences dedicated to “Interrupting Whiteness” and smashing “White Privilege.” Where nonwhite students are encouraged to segregate themselves in racial special-interest groups that focus on pride, whereas whites are only encouraged to gather together in order to “dismantle white supremacy.” Where the world’s unofficial encyclopedia embraces all forms of racial pride except one.

It’s where white moms publicly pat themselves on the back for penning ethnomasochistic screeds such as “Raising White Children to be Anti-Racist Allies” and “It’s My Job to Raise Children Who Are Not Only Not Racist But Actively Anti-Racist.”

It’s where government agencies throw millions of working class whites’ taxpayer dollars at cockamamie race pimps such as Glenn Singleton, a black man whose Pacific Educational Group peddles Critical Race Theory gibberish in 184 American school districts.

Where Jane Elliott, described as “the Torquemada of thought reform,” rakes in untold cash and is lauded by Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres because she forces white students to cry as she cruelly guides them through public humiliation rituals that are a hybrid of communist Chinese struggle sessions and the Stanford Prison Experiment.

It’s a logically impossible world where somehow society is rooted in white supremacy, yet this same society’s cardinal sin is white supremacy.

It’s a world of ceaseless propagandistic demoralization that cumulatively constitutes systematic ideological child abuse against white children.

It’s definitely a different world than the one I inhabited when I went to school. In my Catholic grade school, a female “lay” teacher—they’re called that because they’re allowed to get laid—once speculated that blacks look more like apes than whites do because they are less evolved than whites. In high school a nun—they’re called that because they don’t get none—told us that black poverty was due to the fact that blacks are impulsive and don’t comprehend the principle of delayed gratification.

My son is seven years old. When he was only three and in preschool, his first-ever homework assignment had nothing to do with the alphabet or numerals. Instead, he was assigned to do a presentation on a black historical figure of his choice.

I’ll spend the rest of my life helping him get the best education possible. But first I have to help him unlearn everything they teach him in school!
