That test is not a test, it's a TRAP!

I don't think it's a bad idea collectively to show how classmates see themselves and others simply based on race.

However, the questions need major revision. They are directed for bias.

---

They would be, it's human nature, friends would mix, bad apples would get excluded, groups of all races and genders would form. It's their leaders and teachers that force them into groups and tell them how they should feel.

---

If the assignment is done individually and honestly, it can generate useful data.

Heck some classmates might even learn that they're being overly sensitive. Others may learn that there are issues they've never considered.

However, directed questions and the possibility of collaboration means it'll be GIGO.

No kidding!? That's surprising

I bet Mike Martindale, CSISD Superintendent, doesn't know about this. Maybe he needs to see this.

Everyone has unconscious biases. Could be race related, age related, engineers prefer avoiding geologists, aggies prefer hanging with other aggies, etc

Every one here is apparently glaringly biased that this is some race baiting brainwashing of kids. I don't see it that way... could it go down that path? Maybe. Or maybe kids can learn to appreciate the shoes that other's wear and maybe that can lead to something positive.

The more schools teach kids about feelings, the more screwed up they become.

They will on their own if adults will get out of their way. That is conditioning kids to think a certain way, not educate them.

When you put marxist logos on the assignment, the motives are not so innocuous.

No.

Schools should teach children about irrational feelings.

It's part of "fitting in"

That video is just full of it. First, minorities can buy houses in mixed race or predominately white neighborhoods. Redlining was a lending practice from a long time ago. I don't know of anyone who can't buy a house where they want to. People live where they can afford to live. A black family making $60k is not going to be buying houses in The Woodlands. ANY family making $60K wouldn't buy that house.

Second, People with bad credit histories will not get loans (or if they do it will be with a higher interest rate). Anyone can have a good credit report if you live within your means. It's not a white privilege thing. Plenty of hispanics and asians have good credit reports.

Third, if Kevin and Jamal have the same resumes Jamal is going to get hired first, get into med school first, get a scholarship first, and on and on.

Fourth, how do hispanics and asians feel about this systemic racism stuff being only about blacks? At least they had a hispanic narrate the video. How big of them.

Well if those logos make you think this assignment will lead your kids to start the revolution and starve millions, then I guess you're right, go complain to the teacher.

My wife use to teach there years ago. Does not surprise me at all.

I notice the assignment didn't ask if the student has observed any particular race that plays the victim card the most.

Marxism under the guise of critical race theory is designed to foment division based on declared privilege and power, as this assignment does.

That's indoctrination, not education.

You need to go to the principal.

The "implicit bias" is bunk.

This is what "educators" in Austin ISD do.
And its usually English.

Though one of my kids learnt about words like "anarchy" and "insurrection" in his Jr. Computer Science class as well.

What school district is this??

Well, in computer science you can have anarchy if you have a race condition.

This is CRT that is obviously sponsored by BLM...it has their logo. The same BLM that wants to "dismantle the Western prescribed nuclear family". This isn't about bias, it's propaganda aimed at promoting white guilt in school aged children to gain political power.

In all seriousness, if the document posted in the OP is real then it's an example of teaching kids what to think instead of how to think. The questions are very clearly leading with the goal of shoehorning kids into desired responses and then labeling those responses correct. The fact that it is covered with an image that is overtly rooted in communism just takes it another step into the realm of the absurd.

While the idea that we frequently see on this board that bias doesn't exist and has no impact on various societal hierarchies is objectively false, bias is not the defining characteristic of our culture and nation. There are some who have a vested interest in pushing this narrative and stuff like this is part of that.

We need to be aware of our personal and societal biases only to the extent that it allows us to overcome the harmful ones for the betterment of society. We should not be attempting to define ourselves by them, as this leads to a bunch of fractured "groups" defined by their race, gender, sexual preference, etc. and only serves to divide us further. It's also important to recognize that not all biases are harmful.

First paragraph- I'm not going to assume intent... maybe you're right, probably right, but I'm trying to see it from a different angle.

Second paragraph- I'd disagree. Rich white men have called the shots from the day they stepped foot here. That's reality and they shaped everything. And whenever the people got fussy they'd deflect to a foreign scapegoat and start a war.

Third paragraph- agree.

Where it asks What could make Kevin and Jamal more equal have your kid write in "A two parent household" and see what kind of reaction he gets.

I would also reject the assignment's foundational supposition that systemic racism exists as claimed.

And there's a real-world experiment demonstrating as much:

Didn't read the whole thread so apologies if someone already suggested this.

Here's how I'd advise you respond:

Step 1. Print assignment
Step 2. Place one of the two sheets on the floor.
Step 3. Drop a deuce aiming for dead center. Appreciate the free feeling of taking a dump while full squatting the way your ancestors did.
Step 4. Take second sheet and make a sandwich with the papers and aforementioned steamer.
Step 5. Pack that sammich in a gallon sized ziplock.
Step 6. Deliver to teacher's desk and remove from bag yourself. Take bag with you as you exit room.
Step 7. Report back to F16 for next steps.

Second paragraph- your opinion is not reality in any shape or form. It's 2021, Lebron, Oprah and Obama have more influence over the masses than any "rich" white man. There are just as many poor white people in this country as black people. This project is a slap in the face to everyone of them.

It's even more striking when looking at first and second generation Nigerians in America, which are the biggest statistical outlier among "black" Americans. They actually have higher average educational attainment and income than white Americans on the whole. They also commit less crime than nearly every other racial and ethnic group and have a divorce rate of around 5%.

Good point re: Nigerians.

For evey $100 a white family has, how much does a black family have?

The answer is either

A) undetermined based on the information given.

B) $100

C) however much they stole from the white folks....

Obviously, they want white kids to answer c to prove they are in fact racist, right?

Why are liberals so racist? The stereotyping of blacks as unable to help themselves and the stereotyping of whites as privileged racist oppressors is the very definition of racist thinking.

There will never be a "national conversation" on race as long as one race is pitted against another.

Laura Ingraham had a segment tonight with a mother who lives in Ames, Iowa where they are pushing this BLM trash in her kid's second grade class and she said it extends all the way down to pre-school.

They somehow managed to incorporate "transgender affirming" and "queer affirming" into two of the 13 principles of the BLM curriculum. Other principles include "globalism" and "unapologetically black".

What an absolutely disgusting scene. This country has become a complete joke.
