Whether called wokeness or by its more acceptable name – diversity, equity and inclusion – the premise is the same: It’s anti-white racism dressed up as “anti-racism.”
A California school district helps explain why.
The Federalist reported recently that the Riverside County Unified School District promoted an essay called “Decentering Whiteness.” Written by Jeff Hitchcock and Charley Flint, the essay asserted that “attacking whiteness is not enough.” In dividing people by their race, whites must be relegated to “the margin,” the authors argue.
For its part, according to The Federalist, the district advocated this essay as part of three separate programs: “Professional Learning,” “Community Engagement,” and “Culture and Climate.”
The 19-page report maintains that “whiteness itself can be made more marginal.”
“Decentering whiteness, as we envision it, is a collective process that can take place in organizations, sectors of society, personal lives, etc., over periods of days, months, years, and generations,” Hitchcock and Flint wrote.
The authors added, “Assume whiteness, and race, always structures our experience, and thus needs to be consciously considered as part of any social process.”
Accordingly, as The Federalist noted, white people must go.
“White culture has, on balance, been based on principles of conquest and exploitation,” the document says, adding “simply attacking whiteness is not enough.”
The authors further advocate more racism as the cure to racism, noting that all other races need to unite against whites.
“It will take a multiracial effort to displace whiteness, one that includes people from all racial/cultural groups,” they wrote.
Federalist columnist Spencer Lindquist, who last month noted that top Riverside County school officials lied about teaching CRT in their schools, pointed out that “Decentering Whiteness” had been pulled from the website – after The Federalist exposed it.
A school district spokeswoman maintained the page was being updated and would be back soon.
As Lindquist concluded, “How exactly any of this rhetoric benefits the students or staff at Riverside Unified School District is entirely unclear.”
“The presence of this material in a school climate is in fact both un-American and undeniably harmful, not only to the white people who are maligned by it but also those of all other racial backgrounds whom the article attempts to conscript into a race-based power struggle.”
