February 5-9, 2024, was National Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, observed by thousands of educators in public school districts across the United States. Every year, participating high schools devote a week to indoctrinating impressionable young minds with material promoting a violent, Marxist revolutionary organization and its false narrative that America is a systemically racist country committing genocide against blacks. This is not a fringe endeavor; it is so mainstream that it is promoted by the far-left National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the nation, run by President Becky Pringle, who believes America is irredeemably racist and supports all the usual radical programs such as Critical Race Theory.
The purveyors of such indoctrination openly espouse anti-white racism in a curriculum disseminated in classrooms across the country. Case in point: at Lincoln High School in the woke utopia of Seattle, Washington, students in World Literature and English Composition were given a handout during the BLM Week of Action listing and defining the “9 characteristics of white supremacy,” according to one student’s outraged father, who shared the information with the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH but asked to remain anonymous. The father had asked his son to be on the lookout for just such manner of woke brainwashing, and his son alerted him to the worksheet.
Following is the list of nine white supremacist characteristics and their definitions, as noted on the handout to students:
- One Right Way/Objectivity. The belief that there is one right way to do things. Connected to the belief in an objective, “perfect” that is both attainable and desirable for everyone.
- The cultural story that we make it on our own, without help; A toxic denial of our essential interdependence and the reality that we are all in this together.
- Right to Comfort. The entitlement to name what is and isn’t racism and that those with power have a right to be shielded from the stresses of antiracist work.
- The tendency to identify only the things that are wrong, with little ability to appreciate what is right. Making a mistake is confused with being a mistake.
- Denial & Defensiveness. The habit of defending against the ways in which white supremacy and racism are produced and our individual and collective participation in that system.
- Paternalism & Power Hoarding. The belief that an authority figure must maintain the ability to judge, punish, and redeem while also being above judgment, correction, or change.
- White supremacy cultures #1 strategy is to make us afraid. When we are afraid, we lose touch with our power and become more easily manipulated by the promise of illusory safety.
- Either/or & The Binary. Reduces the complexity of life and the nuance of our relationships with each other and all living things [to] yes or no, right or wrong ways of being.
- Worship of the written word. Honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.
“I feel bad for any students who actually internalize stuff like this as it is setting them up for failure,” the Lincoln High father said, arguing that the concepts are “incoherent and cannot stand any sort of reasoned analysis.” He added that it’s set up to ensure students accept every concept without ever questioning the claims. “How is a 15-year-old kid supposed to object in class when ‘denial and defensiveness’ is itself a characteristic of white supremacy? This is truly educational malpractice.”
Educational malpractice, indeed. Deconstructing and refuting the underlying premises of all these characteristics could be a book-length project; it’s enough to note that these are all presented as negative “givens” about a “white” culture that the Black Lives Matter revolutionaries view as evil and oppressive. The end game is to “disrupt” (their term) “white” thinking, behaving, and values in order to overturn them and collapse AmeriKKKa’s white power structures from within.
For example, a related worksheet given to Lincoln High students asked students, “How do white supremacy characteristics show up in your personal lives?” Note that the question operates from the assumption that these characteristics do constitute white supremacy and that any students who exhibit such characteristics must therefore be participating in white supremacy, even if unconsciously. It leaves no room for questioning that assumption. The aim is to demonize any student who does not reject such civilizational values as objectivity, individualism, and striving for perfection, and to push students to adopt a new, virtuous alternative set of values: the 13 guiding principles of Black Lives Matter, which emphasize collectivism, restorative justice, and globalism, as well as “actively disrupting patriarchal culture” and “the narrow Western prescribed nuclear family structure.” The worksheet goes on to ask, “How can the 13 principles of Black Lives Matter work to disrupt the white supremacy characteristics?”
Another aspect of the white supremacy lesson at this Seattle school involved the showing of a 2013 video titled, “Getting Called Out: How to Apologize” from activist and YouTube personality Franchesca Ramsey. Ramsey, who is black, has built a career and media fame on her racial commentary. In this video, she offers advice on becoming an ally to marginalized groups and “doing the right thing.”
“Getting called out,” she explains, “is when you say or do something that upholds the oppression of a marginalized group of people.” She explains that you shouldn’t “get defensive” by denying you’re oppressing marginalized people, even if you’re not actually oppressing marginalized people. “What you really need to do is listen because this is where the other person is hopefully going to explain to you what you did wrong and how you can explain it.”
The explicit message here is that defending yourself against false accusations of racism is pointless, because as we saw above, denial of racist behavior is itself dismissed as racist behavior. White students are expected to shut up and be lectured about their inherent sense of racial supremacy by black supremacists. This is the exact same process brought to bear on the innocent victims of the “struggle sessions” of Mao’s brutal Cultural Revolution.
“My problem with this curriculum is that this is supposed to be a writing and literature class and lessons like these do nothing to help my kid become a better writer,” the father explained. True, but making his son or any other student a better writer is utterly irrelevant to the BLM activists pushing this racist curriculum. The Black Lives Matter Week of Action agenda is not education but openly political indoctrination. It has nothing to do with opening young minds or teaching them critical thinking or honing their communication skills; it has everything to do with not-so-subtly bullying them into accepting the racist premises of a neo-Marxist commitment to overthrow Western civilization and redistribute power and wealth to “oppressed” communities.
This hijacking of our youth – both black and white – and the twisting of their consciousness to embrace a hateful, communist worldview is evil and must be vigorously opposed by every parent in every school district in America. Perhaps it’s time for a National Western Civilization Matters Week of Action.

Maybe the next time this collective “peace protest” takes place in our cities the “well established militia” should put a final stop to it.
Jeffrey L. says
The “educational format” described by Mr. Tapson is very alarming. To me, the curriculum is so biased, wrongheaded, and anti-educational that the educational authorities promoting it should be arrested. It’s a type of mind rape. It is brainwashing, not brain stimulation.
David Ray says
Father’s daughters getting raped in Foulton County & trans-filth grooming 1st graders was enraging enough.
But apparently not.
So, more bullshit like this is to be expected, as with this recent installment of BLM grooming. (God forbid, any actual education of S.T.E.M. get any focus.)
It’ll continue until we say “No”. And we seem to be complacent; but hopefully for not much longer.
Ugly Sid says
A century ago, Russian “saviours” saved the revolution by exterminating the Romanov family in their custody. Fulfilling faithfully their obligation to History, these noble heroes dropped the bodies of murdered toddlers down a Siberian well.
Currently the refreshed membership displays the same enthusiasm. And they have custody of millions of our children. They be semi literate, nd mathimatically deserts, but perfectly available to learn the upsides of extermination.
We are getting what we pay for.
John Sweet says
If you read the list you see that it is all “regressive” projection.

BLM needs do be investigated into whomever is financing them then arrested try and convict and l give them Life without Parole
Brian Martin says
This is so true. And true for the rest of the corruptors in our society, especially government. But who will do this when there are few righteous judges and lawyers in the land to bring these people, both elites and the low life scum to real judgement.

Okay so I’m a racist, I wasn’t but according to the wealthy black elites I am so I will be. Larry Elder I need an article from you.
Point 4 claims that they only make mistakes.
Shooting your neighbour is not a mistake.
Having an affair is not a mistake.
Smoking pot is not a mistake.
Leaving your kids is not a mistake.

Hardball1Alpha says
Excellent article.
“… restorative justice…” is code word for a “self-feeding extortion loop”. Pay up, or face coordinated online guilt trips, and if that doesn’t work, threats of urban violence. Think post-BLM riot payouts.
Mr. Tapson noted… “This is the exact same process brought to bear on the innocent victims of the “struggle sessions” of Mao’s brutal Cultural Revolution….” “Struggle sessions” are now apparently referred to as “call out sessions”
Americans need to see the actual photos of Mao’s “struggle sessions”… these were often massive public gatherings, where crowds were whipped-up into a frenzy to humiliate, torture and kill ANYONE they deemed offensive to the State.
Think what Mao could do with “smart phones”…. the digital “Little Red Book” complete with GPS directions to the next “call out” home address.
Dirac_Delta says
The Chinese caught up in these horrible Struggle Sessions were not armed. Just try bringing a struggle session to an American home in rural Pennsylvania for instance – FAFO.
Martina Vaslovik says
I’ll believe that black lives matter when they stop killing each other in large numbers. 93% of homicides against blacks are committed by blacks.
dani says
and when they stop murdering thousands of their own babies each year at abortion mills.
steven says
I’m ambivalent on the subject of abortion, but some people should be encouraged to have one.
Annie45 says
It is mind-boggling to realize that communist Black Lives Matter indoctrination
of school children against Whites is nationwide and not just a fringe movement.
Especially in conjunction with knowing that all members of the U.S. military
from the lowest to the highest rank are indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory
against Whites with the full support of the Biden White House. This very month
(Feb. 2024) Black author Dante King gave a lecture at UC-San Francisco in
which he said Whites are psychopaths and the United States has a ‘White rape
culture’ that was received with applause, not condemnation. Such lectures by
academics throughout the nation are now widely accepted.
Viewing America through the daily propaganda bombardment of TV commercials,
one might get the impression that America consists of a mostly Black majority
population – instead of the approximate 57% White and 13% Black that we are.
The globalist international corporations advertising on TV seem to want to
minimize White presence in America. The new world agenda to eliminate
Western civilization and to subsume its White foundation into the darker races
is proceeding right on schedule. It will be more than aided by the mass influx
of so many violently and criminally inclined non-White illegals now pouring over
the southern border.
As White demographics decline, physical danger against them and their
families will escalate. With impunity. The globalist communist left and the Rino
right will make sure of it.
Domenic Pepe says
Annie45 is correct on all counts.
I cannot see or even imagine how the horrible self-destructive demographic, social and cultural, and government trajectory that America is on, can be perturbed, never mind reversed.
Good responsible people must be focused on taking care of themselves, their family, and kindred spirit friends.
The devil take the hindmost.

Excellent analysis Annie.

Black people celebrate the religion which occupied Spain and Portugal for four centuries resulting in the slave trade and black people being made slaves. Support and join the religion that made your people slaves.
David Ray says
Remember when grifter Pelosi & company wore those ridiculous African scarves to show solidarity with street-trash, criminal George Floyd? (who overdosed on fentanyl)
Those scarves were the colors of a tribe that trafficked in slavery.
Not to worry. The adoring press ran their usual cover for that idiotic misstep.
Ron Kelmell says
Like birds of a feather, mankind flock together according to natural similarities. Every demographic around the world has its associational preferences. In America the demographic under consideration has representatives in high levels of occupation across the board, private sector and government.
Only the ‘activists agitators’ have something to gain by fanning these flames.
Darryl says
These programs are systemically racist, and brain dead stupid.
BLM is Marxism for low IQ people. Even the intellectuals who advocate it are cut and paste plagiarists whose intelligence is on par with the developmentally delayed.
It is almost as if white intellectuals running education noticed the lower SAT scores and triumphed stupidity and lazinessas the supreme attribute defining blackness, and therefore worthy of emulation by all.
This is an ideology for stupid people.

It’s not only in schools, it’s in the courts:
3 federal judges in Illinois are giving extra time for argument to young female and minority lawyers.

BLM is fomenting racism along with the fake news main sleaze media. It’s part of the bigger deep state and destined for hell Soros destruction of USA into another form of totalitarian communism! 2015 I noticed local news 8×10 glossy talking heads reading teleprompter lying saying racism is increasing in USA. I saw this as a lie and to foment racism when in 2015 2 generations have filtered through the 1960’s civil rights movements that did create legislation, laws and Constitutional Amendments to make discrimination illegal! Yet, here is the worst discrimination making a nice market for purveyor’s of fomenting racism! Wake up muddafuddaz this is from the streets I reference! Only unmentored youth and loser adults that do not take advantage of the blessings of living in USA has to offer. Fools!
Owie says
Rather than give up their stupid, self-destructive way of living, and take advantage of the opportunities that the US virtually forces upon its citizens, too much of the black underclass seeks to bring America down, to punish it for its success.. This non-productive segment of society seems unaware that it lives off the crumbs from other tables, and that as they weaken the mainstream there is less and less left over for them. Even worse, there is diminishing interest in their problems from people suffering from compassion fatigue. In,other words they have screwed themselves good.
anna says
here in Chicago those crumbs are being diverted to the new illegals invading neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, –
this is a powder keg ready to blow

Domenic Pepe says
Depraved, psychopathic, delusional, racist hate has captured too many blacks in America, especially within the various educational and even black church organizations.
Through incessant brainwashing and indoctrination these lunatics cannot think straight anymore.
They are truly criminally mentally defective.
Depraved psychopathic murderous Islamic brainwashing has been doing the same thing for 1400 years.
Peter Mohan says
Not long ago the Marxists realized the poor were never going to be desperate enough to rise up against America, so they shifted gears and made everything about racism and sexism. All white men became the capitalists who made all other humans miserable. They’ve stomped on the Constitution, attacked the idea of individual freedom and responsibility and brought tribalism back as the solution.
We are doomed.
trapper says
No, we are not doomed. Absurdity is doomed as will be shown in the future.

““My problem with this curriculum is that this is supposed to be a writing and literature class and lessons like these do nothing to help my kid become a better writer,” the father explained.”. Well, it does let him see what poorly written fiction looks like. So there’s that.

Used to be a little Racists as kids used to say WWNY MEENY MINY MOE,CATCHAA N******R BY THE TOE in every can of Mixed Nuts were what we called N****R TOES(PACANS)and we had no idea about Racism back then
trapper says
So we need to listen to the wokester tell us “what we did wrong”. But one of the 9 characteristics of white supremacy is “the either/or & binary”, meaning right or wrong. Seems contradictory to me but logic is sooooo white.
TRex says
This comes across to me as another form of “shakedown” similar to or part of the cry for reparations. Foment enough white guilt across an upcoming generation and the push for reparations becomes less of a hurdle. I watched an interesting discussion on the Jason Whitlock Show where he and Delano Squires talked about how a segment of blacks (the shit disturbers) want to push the narrative that all societal advantages for blacks have been deliberately stymied by white supremacists. They (Whitlock/Squires) posit this is, in effect, a shakedown of whites to get something for nothing. For example a clip was shown of a black woman going on about how blacks “built this country” during the slave era, and, therefore, this generation deserves retribution for the work done by generations before them. The conversation went on to say the current generation has contributed nothing of value to leave for their descendants but would rather see the securing of reparation checks as their “legacy. In other words, money for nothing is what they contribute to the black population. Looks like a shakedown to me based on white guilt that’s being promulgated in public schools.
Chaya says
Thanks for this article. I had hoped BLM went the way of the Dodo. Then, last week I saw signs in car windows that looked like kids made them. Now I know it was “racist hate whites and Jews indoctrination week” at the public schools. I was seeing their homework. Homework of hate.

Sorry, there is no more turkey for the holiday giveaway, the illegals got it all. New York last year. True story.
