City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo, a documentary filmmaker, writes in the New York Post about “whistleblower documents” he obtained from a “racially charged teacher-training session” in Seattle Public Schools.
The lessons focus on ‘white privilege’ and blame teachers for colonizing the Puget Sound region and America as a whole for stealing labor from enslaved blacks.
The lessons include instruction on so-called spirit murder.’ The concept was promoted by University of Georgia Prof. Bettina Love, who founded the Abolitionist Teaching Network this year.
“Spirit murder” is the practice of schools murdering “the souls of black children every day through systemic, institutionalized, anti-black, state-sanctioned violence.”

Seattle Public Schools has a different approach: putting teachers through white-privilege performances instead of helping their children learn.
City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo, a documentary filmmaker, writes in the
New York Post about “whistleblower documents” he obtained from a “racially charged teacher-training session.”
Readers familiar with these sessions won’t be surprised they started with a land acknowledgment that blamed teachers for colonizing the Puget Sound region and America as a whole for stealing labor from enslaved blacks.
