Can you believe what’s happening in our schools these days?
The New Prague school district in Minnesota thought it would be a brilliant idea to show their staff videos that, get this, depict white people as mosquitoes – the very creatures we swat away during summer barbecues.
The video, in its attempt to teach about ‘microaggressions,’ likens so-called ‘offensive comments’ to mosquito bites.
It suggests that some people, presumably those of minority backgrounds, are bitten more often than others.
And what’s their profound analogy?
That telling someone they’re articulate, complimenting their hair, or noticing someone is pregnant or gay is akin to a mosquito bite. They even go as far as to say some microaggressions “can even kill you.” Talk about an exaggeration!
New Prague Superintendent Andrew Vollmuth claims a different “version of the video” was shown to staff. But when pressed by Alpha News, he couldn’t clarify what this ‘different version’ was. Sounds like someone’s trying to dodge the question.
And there’s more.
Another video titled “Our Hidden Biases” paints a picture of a world where every white individual is inherently suspicious of black children. From store owners calling the police to doctors making baseless accusations, the narrative is clear: white people are the problem.
Superintendent Vollmuth, in his infinite wisdom, told Alpha News that these videos are all about creating an “inclusive opportunity” for students.
He claims they’re trying to “honor the uniqueness of each individual.” But aren’t they doing the exact opposite by painting an entire race as biased?
“The New Prague Area Schools is dedicated to creating a culture where all students have an equal and inclusive opportunity to thrive academically, socially and emotionally,” Superintendent Vollmuth told Alpha News.
“As a school system, we will honor the uniqueness of each individual and embrace diverse backgrounds, values and viewpoints that will build an empowered school community while acknowledging our differences as strengths.”
