Melbourne youth worker orders white, Christian high school boys to stand in class
calls them ‘oppressors’
Quote:According to the newspaper, the Kingston Youth Services worker held a talk about privilege, pronouns and “intersectionality” at the state-run Parkdale Secondary College in Melbourne’s southeast on Wednesday.
She told the boys to stand up if they were “white”, “male” and “Christian” before telling them they were responsible for being “privileged” and “oppressors”.
A female Year 11 student told the newspaper pupils were “shocked” by the presentation and that the male students had felt “ashamed” and “targeted”.
“It was so messed up, we thought for a moment it was a joke, but then we realised it wasn’t and we were so upset and angry by it all,” the 16-year-old said.
“She basically said straight, white, Christian males were oppressors and they held all the power and privilege in society. We were shocked but it was quite difficult to say anything because she was also talking about LGBTQI+ and if you spoke out against that you feared you’d be called homophobic.”

It's too bad that experience only comes with age.
If only those kids she purposely humiliated had the crust on them that we old guys do, they'd tell her to shut up and go make 'em a sandwich.

Myself and most of the kids i went to HS with would have done just that. What in the world have they done to young people?

In my high school, probably 98% of the males were white and christian.

It's one think to understand the history of white people but it's another thing to blame people who had nothing to do with it.

RE: Melbourne youth worker orders white, Christian high school boys to stand in class
If that would have happened to my son, I would have loved to have been called to the school because my son told the youth worker where to go. I always told my kids I would support them for standing up for what they believe, even if I didn’t agree with them.
What is wrong with today’s youth. I was raised to question authority, as was my father before me. I raised my son to do the same. That’s what teenagers are supposed to do. How are they ever going to develop into discerning citizens if they believe everything a parent, teacher or pastor tells them.
I guess I answered my own question.

Yea, well this person clearly doesn’t do A, and is precisely doing B.
Especially in a place like Aussieville. This person is a complete moron.

WTF does that even mean? Blame who for what? For being the most advanced uh... well, everything? For doing more for the world around us than almost everyone else combined?
You idiots on the left love to take societal norms which were prevalent in times past, view them through modern day microscopes, and apply that flawed vision to modern day issues largely concocted from past events. Idiotic.

Western civilization, democracy, freedom, technology, modern medicine, etc....
Practically everything that permits him to post his nonsense.
Blame them for that.

When instruction cannot stand the scrutiny of questioning it becomes indoctrination.
When government cannot stand the scrutiny of questioning it becomes tyranny!

It's the only way they know to dismiss the progress and success of those they hate. Attack one aspect of the past to dismiss all accomplishments that followed. Without that they no longer have anything to moan about. It is why they had to reinvent racism. Old racism is virtually extinct. Therefore new definitions of racism and oppression are needed. The enemy is quite simple to discern. It is anyone who seeks to destroy decades of advancement by attacking history. If the children had been taught how to think this couldn't happen. But this is what happens when the teaching of logic is suspended because some socialist loser calls it racist.
