Go into the school and tell them you don’t want your kids in the room when they’re doing that bit of the day.
It’ll make you look like a racist, but you don’t have many options. That’s kind of the point, they get at you through your kids.
I think this “movement” is a psyop by China or Russia
Here is Megyn Kelly on why she took her kids out of school:
I don’t think so, it seems to be an existential reality for some of the AA community, not all and the AA shouldn’t be thought of as monolithic. The BLM group for example that the TAS have embraced have as one of the demands defunding the police which is widely rejected by the black community itself. See here Which runs the risk of misrepresenting what the AA think if you suggest the BLM leaders represent the black community.
What seems to be the trend IMO is to take an existential reality for example the trans community and try to impose that as an objective reality to everyone else. I believe they are using the same recipe from the existential reality as perceived by some in the AA to teach that as the objective reality to everyone.
So, by comparison TAS isn’t too horrible yet, I guess?
Just think of that exorbitant tuition as reparations.
I’m sorry to hear that
If this doesn’t go into depth on Indigenous peoples in Taiwan, then the people running the show are hypocrites. Based on my experience with proponents of CRT, probably they are hypocrites.
The Europeans inventing slavery bit is one of the myths that really grinds my gears, followed shortly by people who deny that this myth exists. The baseball one is new for me. As for police not liking black people, I’m still new here: does that map accurately onto the Taiwanese context?
I still don’t really see that this is much different:
No, it didn’t tackle indigenous peoples in Taiwan. The speaker was Korean and focused on how her lack of an identity as a Korean, a woman, an international traveler, and an American destroyed her self esteem, and that a focus on issues which people of those identities struggled with throughout history was important to building self esteem. Only through knowing what identity based oppression people with your identities have suffered can you build self esteem. Also, understanding these hierarchies of oppression is essential in modern American life.
interested to learn more …on another thread somewhere?
That’s how Mao did it during the Cultural Revolution.
Denounce mum and dad for their outdated thinking.
So now TAS is being characterized as “Maoist”? 
Forumosa is an amazing place.

Wow I guess I shouldn’t apply to this school then? Apart from its strange administration, is the curriculum challenging and do they have good teachers? Sorry to veer off topic…
Who are the BLM people? Are they residing in Taiwan? I cannot imagine they are making speeches at schools and businesses in Taiwan. How do they make a living? Are they living off the fat of the land, I mean mega donations they received from virtue signalers and corporates last year?
I’m honestly going to homeschool my potential kids at this point. I’ve spoken to @_Lilith about this, she’s an atheist and even she was like maybe a Christian private school is better than public school where they teach them to see the world as oppressors and oppressed. Her former boarding school has gone full radical feminist, and we both find it cringe.
I feel like adults have made things worse even with good intentions. Looking back, I’ve never looked at people through race as a child. My first interaction with a white person was my Canadian Hockey coach in Taiwan, I really didn’t think of him as a white person. He was from Canada, I knew that and we spoke a different language, but I never saw him as another race.
First time I saw black people is when I moved to the US, for whatever reason, my first neighborhood in Cali was mostly black kids. I never felt like they were a different race, we got along just fine and played with our gameboys. That was that.
It wasn’t until the adults kept trying to tell us that we were different did I start to think that way.
These kids being sent to TAS sure live in a bubble that’s all I can say. BLM Korean oppression in Taiwan ?!?
Anyway. …I would say learning something about various modern American movements such as BLM isn’t a bad thing just don’t be 'instructed ’ to support it as an ideology .
why should they think about Indigenous peoples in Taiwan? It is TAS, a school for American kids in Taiwan to be educated as if they were in the US.
Somewhat debatable

Always look on the bright side!
Good point. Instead of indoctrinating the kids they should learn about the current cultural landscape in the U.S. and how to navigate it successfully.
