Imagine that you are a middle school student participating in a course called “Courageous Conversations About Race.”  Through several weeks of instruction, you are exposed to a variety of new concepts.  For example, as a white American, you are part of an institutionally racist society.  This means you are automatically a racist, that you have “White Privilege,” and that people of color are perpetual victims of this racist society.  These concepts may seem difficult to accept.  But who are you to question them?  Your teachers seem to know what they are talking about.  So you choose to agree.
