The following report is by The Jason Rantz Show – 770 KTTH:
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.
Everything Is ‘White Supremacy’ At Seattle Public Schools
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.
The worksheet labels “objectivity,” “individualism,” and “perfectionism” as white supremacy. If students deny their own racism — or that any of the nine characteristics are legitimately racist — is also white supremacy. Denialism or being overly defensive is a racist example of an “entitlement to name what is an [sic] isn’t racism and that those with power have a right to be shielded from the stresses of antiracist work.”
The father argues the concepts are “incoherent and cannot stand any sort of reasoned analysis.” And he notes that it’s set up to ensure students accept every concept without ever questioning the claims.
How is a 15-year-old kid supposed to object in class when ‘denial and defensiveness’ is itself a characteristic of white supremacy? This is truly educational malpractice.
White Students Told To Apologize In Yet Another Seattle High School Controversy
Another aspect of the white supremacy lesson at this Seattle school involved a video titled “Getting Called Out: How to Apologize” by Franchesca Ramsey. It’s reportedly presented in the context of white students expressing what the teacher views as “white supremacy.”
“Getting called out, in this context of this video, is when you say or do something that upholds the oppression of a marginalized group of people,” Ramsey says.
Ramsey says her advice is about becoming an ally and “doing the right thing.” She explains you shouldn’t “get defensive” by denying you’re oppressing marginalized people, even if you’re not actually oppressing marginalized people.
“What you really need to do is listen because this is where the other person is hopefully going to explain to you what you did wrong and how you can explain it,” she says.
In the context of the worksheet on white supremacy, it seems clear that students must merely accept that they are upholding oppression. Using the worksheet, if a student defends independence or a love of reading and writing, that student is supposed to accept that it’s white supremacist thinking and stop acting independently or loving to read and write.
Father Says Seattle Public Schools Isn’t Serving Students
The father says he taught his son to be on the lookout for this kind of Radical Left indoctrination. It’s why his son flagged the worksheets to him. But he notes that the curriculum doesn’t exactly help his kid on the subject he’s supposed to be learning.
“My problem with this curriculum is that this is supposed to be a writing and literature class and lessons like these do nothing to help my kid become a better writer,” the father explained. “I’m sure Lincoln administration will point to the high ELA proficiency scores but the high proportion of HCC [highly capable] kids (40% of the student body) is a big factor. With so many smart, hard working kids (white supremacists) it’s easy to support these luxury beliefs but system-wide only 63% of kids are proficient in English. Is this really the best use of class time? ”
The father also wonders how many students will fall for this toxic thinking across Seattle schools where concepts around white supremacy are so clearly partisan.
“I feel bad for any students who actually internalize stuff like this as it is setting them up for failure,” he said.
Seattle Public Schools spokespeople provided their normal response to requests for comment: none.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1 Timothy 4:13
Anything and everything at this point is “racist” and Whitey’s fault, apparently. The truth is the government, media, public schools, etc., are using the ultra-progressive “useful idiots” (as Stalin would call them) as the embellished proxies to make everybody stupid, or at the very least make people feel ostracized for not being a brain dead vegetable. It’s the same tactic they are using to justify not eating meat, not having kids, depopulation, living in smart cities, etc.
It’s a big reason why it has become so easy to deceive and trick people, because they simply lack discernment, and are limited on wisdom and knowledge.
And we’ve seen how effective this schemery is, as it has bled into virtually aspects of life; especially in the context of the scriptures, as Satan has worked meticulously through the Jesuit order and other co-opted organizations, to strip get people to not read the word of God, but instead have their heads filled with pictures, movies and screens, light shows and rock concerts, experiences, dreams and visions. Isaiah 34:16(a) plainly states: “Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read:”
[9] Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. [10] For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:9-10
Last month I did a report about how higher academics, notoriety, and credentialism has collapsed; and while that has it positives it also has plenty of negatives. I wrote:
I will say though, that in this vacuum that has been created because of the internet and people awakening to the college scam, and liars, puppets, charlatans in the establishment and the ‘bigs’ – there has now become this glorification of willful ignorance and embracing of stupidity and anti-intellectualism, especially now that everything has become very tribal and cultic. Now more scams and fraudsters have arisen on the pretense they are anti-establishment and self-proclaimed experts, with all this hidden knowledge, expertise, and experience that “education” and the establishment won’t tell you. Because of that, the scammery and deception, and genuine mis- and disinformation is everywhere.
This is what happens when a society kicks out God’s word and turns to themselves for wisdom and knowledge, making philosophy their guiding principle where truth is no longer absolute, but everything is relative, and good and evil are only so based on the eye of the beholder and the context of the act.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Judges 21:25 – this is where we are now, and with no KING James Bible as the guiding principle, it’s no surprise that society has broken down – everyone is confused and lied to.
And, once again, I will continue to keep saying till the cows come home, stop sending your children to a public school. Nay, “malpractice,” as this father called it, is allowing your children to keep going there. When will parents wake up and smell the coffee, and actually do the parenting and teaching themselves?
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Well, I never!
We are entering a new Dark Ages, brothers and sisters. Where everybody is not illiterate because of struggles, but willingly willfully illiterate. All people want now is television, social media, TikTok, movies and videos with bright lights and streaming effects with pretty colors (they’re like babies, babies like floating and streaming colors and pictures as well!)
And the Jesuits are behind it, they want to make sure that nobody reads the King James Bible, in fact they want to make sure people barely read. People don’t even want to read pamphlets much less books or THEE Book (KJB).
Reading is racist? Hey rocks for brains, black people read, Latinos read, Asians read, Polynesians and Pacific Islanders read, Arabs read, Jews read, Indians – dot and feather read. What about that?
Amen
This is communism–plain and simple. They simply gave it a new name.
While I can’t recommend Mennonite Rod & Staff THEOLOGY necessarily, one thing I can recommend, do appreciate, & am benefitting from myself …even at my age….is their thorough reading, English, & Practical Spelling. I can’t vouch for the newer stuff: I purposely purchased the older editions, but they still teach sentence diagramming in those.

When it’s Gramma’s days to school, we always begin acknowledging that we go to the work of learning to read so that we can read God’s word, and remember the Dark Ages where all the people were serfs & slaves because the antichrist church & powerful people kept the people ignorant & illiterate.
–
Studying those things formally aids in reading comprehension, which in turn, aids in understanding Bible, & especially Paul’s doctrine rich epistles that false teachers still love to wrest to their own destruction & that of any following them.
–
Aids in understanding the Bible version issue, too.
–
Part of the reason that NAR & weird spiritualistic things take root so easily is linked to poor reading skills, & you can bet that the Jesuits are involved in that.
Great excuse for the anti-literate lefties never to crack a book again.
Why would anyone pay to attend the Ignorance Centers they call universities? They learn nothing practical and come back more ignorant than when they left. But at least each one has really high self esteem about how it is the greatest, most special being that ever existed. (That goes with being a delusional narcissist.)
Great points, Rachel.
I wouldn’t be caught dead in a university, I dropped out of community college and I don’t regret it, because I saw the writing on the wall.
A worthless degree, tens of thousands of student loans and debt, no job skills or special training, just a bunch of faux knowledge and philosophy and they’re working at McDonald’s.
A lot of these college students (not all of them) are just a bunch of Christ rejecting, KJB rejecting, sottish fools that can hardly read a pop-up book! They go there and they have safe spaces which are basically daycare play rooms for oversized children. When World War III happens, and it WILL happen, they’ll die before the first shot is fired!
Get this: colleges and universities are closing down especially with the direction the economy is going. Wonderful! Now those pampered pseudo intellectuals and professors can get a brutal dose of reality.
