That was one of Michael Savage's book titles many years ago. It sounded witty and a bit off the wall back then. Not anymore.
On Bari Weiss' substack page, Paul Rossi, a teacher at Grace Church HS in Manhattan, bravely spoke up and got himself fired. He rejected the 'antiracism' workshop dialogue and said it was a mistake to distill everything into a question of race. He also said that math is all about meritocracy, and it's inherently unbiased.
The Progressive White Woke Liberals, proving that they have a mental disorder, shoved him out the door. The letter is from April 2021, and he has since been fired.
You should read the whole thing at Weiss' page. Note the reaction of the head of the HS when he questioned that math is pretty cut and dried, and doesn't respond to race:
"Recently, I raised questions about this ideology at a mandatory, whites-only student and faculty Zoom meeting. (Such racially segregated sessions are now commonplace at my school.) It was a bait-and-switch “self-care” seminar that labelled “objectivity,” “individualism,” “fear of open conflict,” and even “a right to comfort” as characteristics of white supremacy. I doubted that these human attributes — many of them virtues reframed as vices — should be racialized in this way. In the Zoom chat, I also questioned whether one must define oneself in terms of a racial identity at all. My goal was to model for students that they should feel safe to question ideological assertions if they felt moved to do so.It seemed like my questions broke the ice. Students and even a few teachers offered a broad range of questions and observations. Many students said it was a more productive and substantive discussion than they expected.
However, when my questions were shared outside this forum, violating the school norm of confidentiality, I was informed by the head of the high school that my philosophical challenges had caused “harm” to students, given that these topics were “life and death matters, about people’s flesh and blood and bone.” I was reprimanded for “acting like an independent agent of a set of principles or ideas or beliefs.” And I was told that by doing so, I failed to serve the “greater good and the higher truth.”
He further informed me that I had created “dissonance for vulnerable and unformed thinkers” and “neurological disturbance in students’ beings and systems.” The school’s director of studies added that my remarks could even constitute harassment.
A few days later, the head of school ordered all high school advisors to read a public reprimand of my conduct out loud to every student in the school. It was a surreal experience, walking the halls alone and hearing the words emitting from each classroom: “Events from last week compel us to underscore some aspects of our mission and share some thoughts about our community,” the statement began. “At independent schools, with their history of predominantly white populations, racism colludes with other forms of bias (sexism, classism, ableism and so much more) to undermine our stated ideals, and we must work hard to undo this history.”
Students from low-income families experience culture shock at our school. Racist incidents happen. And bias can influence relationships. All true. But addressing such problems with a call to “undo history” lacks any kind of limiting principle and pairs any allegation of bigotry with a priori guilt. My own contract for next year requires me to “participate in restorative practices designed by the Office of Community Engagement” in order to “heal my relationship with the students of color and other students in my classes.” The details of these practices remain unspecified until I agree to sign."

Only someone with a mental disorder would react to Rossi's points in such a manner. Their reaction to his suggestion to use Glenn Loury as discussion fodder was even more unhinged. The white liberal's reaction to everything these days is reminiscent of someone with a mental disorder. Bug 19, CRT, Orange Man, Saint George ... they all elicit absurd and clownish howling from these people.
Interestingly, these hard core loons don't get any traction in the ghetto school where I work. You know why? Look at the Grace Church School website. None of those unable-to-think-for-themselves white 'progressives' would last 15 minutes in a place like mine. There are no white people in charge to blame where I work. They're all gone. It makes for a wonderful teaching environment. Ironically, I can, and have, spoken like Mr. Rossi, as have many of my colleagues. We say stuff like he did all the time. There is no reaction whatsoever, except quality discussion. It is both amazing and ironic. My time with students is enjoyable and intellectually wholesome.
- Side note: One of these Liberal Goblin Blue Checks tried to get me fired. We all had a good laugh about it and after 10 minutes of clowning on the person we went about our business. We have bigger fish to fry.
Here's what it costs to send your (white) child to Grace Church School, where he, she, or xir can learn that white people are bad, and it's important to "undo history". You also learn that math is biased, and that Individualism is a "characteristic of white supremacy":
I wouldn't go there for free, nor would I work there for any amount of money.
Here's how you can help me grift like everyone else during The Collapse:
My Udemy classes are here - extremely low price and you have them forever.
I also sell custom made mugs. I'll do personalized orders as well. They are all made in the United States - in Pennsylvania.
All of the mugs are here on Gearbubble. These are made in the USA, and if you don't want to contribute to Amazon's record profits during this time of CV19, the Gearbubble link is the one to use. Thank you!
