Christopher Paslay discusses how race is taught in schools on ‘Fox & Friends.’
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Plus zero percent interest for twenty four months on all smart beds. Only for a limited time
when I noticed my,
we have been talking to you for
a while how schools across the
country have been pushing to
adopt thrill race theory in
education programs even for
preschoolers.
This comes as the San
Francisco arts Department
changed. Its name because quote
acronyms, are a symptom of white
supremacy culture. I never
thought of it. That way
here to discuss is Philadelphia
School teacher, Christopher
Paisley, a new book out its
called exploring white from a
facility
Christopher Good morning.
Thanks for having me
Ains
Steve regarding race,
interesting sliding scale
depend on which school and
district you are in
on certain cases, its very
reasonable.
They are teaching the basic
things. Dr Martin Luther king,
you know, judge people by the
content of their character and
not the color of their skin,
and then you have things more
radical, which is hang in certain
schools. Like you mentioned a
school in Kuper teen know
California had third graders
deconstructing their racial
identity, which definitely can be
something that is questionable,
so its a sliding scale.
Some stuff is good.
Some stuff is a little more
radical
Steve. Absolutely
we have got a San Francisco
public School teacher wrote an
op ed on Bernie Sanders in the
Chron Ghel San Francisco and
said I puzzle and fumed as an
individual. As I stroke to be my
best possible teacher.
What did I see?
What did I think my students
should see
a wealthy, incredible, well
educated and privileged white
man showing up for perhaps the
most important rift actual of
the decade in a puffy jacket and
huge mittens?
They are talking about bonders
at the inauguration
yeah.
I mean its interesting,
its definitely its an
interesting situation, because I
have a masters degree in
multicultural education and the
way it used to be
it usersed to be. We try to find
a common bond and try to come
together. You know we focus on
race because we have to, but we
try and get past race to the
person,
so we can understand each other
and communicate,
and now it seems like everything
is about just polarizing. You
know you have one group in camp
another group on this side.
Whites are privileged, inherently
racist
people of color are victims,
people are oppressed
in certain situations. Students
of color are learning, they are
not the captain of their
ownership and I think thats
very unfortunate, because I think
we need to get back to a place
where we focus on race, because
you have to you have to get past
that eventually and communicate
and come together. So we can
continue to make progress and do
things like that
Steve its really something
because it seems like its
everywhere.
In fact, coming in about fifteen
minutes, we are going to talk
about how Montgomery County in
Maryland is spending half a
million dollars on an anti
racist audit
says their goal is to become an
anti racist school system.
They are starting at preschool,
interesting, stuff,
Christopher Paisley, his book is
exploring white fragility. Thank
you very much, sir.
