I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread, what the fuck is going on here? Is someone intervening in the curriculum of western schools and colleges with intend to spread some fantasy narrative or is this coming from the mentality of "I am smart, I can do science, me." because of the internet and information at the click of a button. This shit is scary as fuck man. |
*Sigh* What's going on is that you've somehow interpreted "let's let people just enter their own race on a form since people are generally capable of doing so without incident and we can always contact parents on an as needed basis if someone is doing anything abnormal" into "THE DELAWARE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL LET YOU CLAIM TO BE ANY RACE YOU WANT AND PEOPLE IDENTIFYING THEIR OWN RACE IS NEW AND SCARY AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE!!!"
Seriously, how else would you go about recording race? Having children report with the option of double checking with parents as need be seems like a perfectly appropriate method.
