The illustration is titled, \u201cThey\u2019re not too young to talk about race!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Education explicitly told parents that \u201csilence about race reinforces racism by letting children draw their own conclusions based on what they see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The graphic shows the linear aging of a child and details how parents should talk about race and racism at each stage of their childhood. Parents are told to talk to their three-month-olds about racism because \u201cbabies look more at faces that match the race of their caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the age of two, the graphic claims that children use race \u201cto reason about people\u2019s behaviors\u201d and, by 30 months, they allegedly use race to choose their friends. By ages four and five, children allegedly become racially prejudiced.<\/p>\n<p>According to the graphic, by the time children reach kindergarten they can become full-blown racists. Kindergarteners allegedly \u201cshow many of the same racial attitudes that adults in our culture hold \u2014 they have already learned to associate some groups with higher status than others.\u201d Parents are encouraged to have conversations with kindergarteners to discuss how interracial friendships can improve their racial attitdes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_196509\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-196509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>via Christopher Rufo<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The department also recommended a slew of \u201canti-racist\u201d readings. One of the readings tells white parents \u2014 and only white parents \u2014 that avoiding talks about racism can make their kids racist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite parents can and should begin addressing issues of race and racism early, even before their children can speak. Studies have indicated that infants as young as three months old can recognize racial differences,\u201d the book \u201cHow White Parents Can Talk To Their Kids About Race\u201d reads. \u201cAvoiding the topic, rather than actively countering it with anti-racist attitudes and actions, simply opens the door for children to absorb bias from the world around them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second suggested reading was directed only at white parents as well. The article is entitled, \u201cWhat White People Need to Know About Race\u201d and advocates that schools should become hubs of anti-white socialization where students are taught to get rid of their \u201cwhiteness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSilence is a racial message and a \u2018tool of whiteness,\u2019\u201d the second reading claims. \u201cIn order to support the goals of their diversity mission statements and work toward a \u2018racially just America,\u2019 schools need to take a more proactive approach to teaching white students about race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second reading proceeds to claim that being white is to be someone that disadvantages people of color because of their race. The reading suggests that schools can help foster awareness of this evil by teaching white students about systemic racism.<\/p>\n<p>A third reading suggests that being white can be defined using three adjectives, \u201cignorant, color-blind, and racist.\u201d The author suggests there may be a fourth way to be white and that includes adopting \u201cthe anti-racist white identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Education\u2019s reading list also suggests that parents read an article entitled, \u201cYou Can Have A Black Friend, Partner, Or Child And Still Be Racist.\u201d The article calls \u201cblack-on-black crime\u201d a \u201cmade-up term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often, [white people] love to throw in terms that alleviate some of their white fragility. You\u2019ve probably heard some of these including: the race card, black-on-black crime, reverse racism, and color blindness. These are made-up terms that some white people use to feel better about themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article also claims that having any relationship with a person of color is not \u201ca one-way ticket out of Racism Town.\u201d It claims that white people who refute \u201canti-racism\u201d activists only proves that they \u201ccannot stand not to be at the center of every single conversation, policy, and action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in the spring of 2020, schools have become a breeding ground for \u201canti-racist\u201d activism. In New York City public schools, administrators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-york-school-encourages-parents-to-become-white-traitors-white-abolitionists\">sent out graphics<\/a> to parents encouraging them to become \u201cwhite traitors\u201d and \u201cwhite abolitionists\u201d or risk being branded as a racist.<\/p>\n<p>Higher education institutions have also fallen prey to \u201canti-racist audits,\u201d wherein a school pays a diversity and equity group thousands of dollars to investigate the alleged racist nature of their policies. The University of Delaware and Binghamton University both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/east-coast-universities-conduct-anti-racist-audit-in-libraries\">announced<\/a> that they will be conducting year-long \u201canti-racism talent management audits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
