A White father from Aloha, Oregon is OUTRAGED after a survey on "white privilege" was handed out to his son as an assigned homework for school!!
It was handed out in literature composition at Aloha High School where it asks students to consider a series of statements on race, and rank the comments from 0 (seldom or never true) to 5 (often true) in relation to their personal experience.
District spokeswoman Maureen Wheeler said the class in question covers issues affecting the US today on race, class, sexuality and religion.
The purpose of this class is for students to "gain empathy, understanding and to build bridges"
Jason Schmidt however, said his senior son doesn't see it that way. His son said the survey is read like it almost wants to SHAME you for being white!!. He wants his son to learn actual education and not be part of some social experiment or teacher's political agenda. He also said that his son was almost in TEARS when he was reading this survey!!
Other parents weren't offended and sided with the survey such as Sarah Rios-Lopez as she likes her teachers starting discussions on race in the class. She said "I want my daughter to have opinions. Whether it's for or against, you have to create those, but you can't without good information so i applaud teacher's getting out that information"
The school is 47% white, 34% Hispanic according to the district.
Are you offended by these questions? let's see if people are
