Taken to an extreme, such that collective guilt creeps into the mindset.


This is not about teaching true history and the examples of injustices throughout it. It’s about teaching young kids that people are born into roles of oppressor or victim. The fact that “oppressed peoples sometimes become oppressors” is just one problem with that literal “groupthink”.

This why an American Jewish kid who’s never been to Israel might find himself in the crosshairs if seen wearing a Star of David on many campuses. Teach history. Don’t accuse a 10 yr old white kid of being an oppressor, or his black friend of being a victim.
