It denies that people of color experience racial discrimination, it ignores their cultural heritage as well as their personal identity. As a white woman, I have experienced the benefit of being Caucasian my entire life. It is baffling to me that so many vehemently deny the existence of white privilege. As a mother, when my son was about 4, he described an African American as “suntanned.” I explained to him that the man had a darker skin color because long ago his family lived where the sun was very hot and having darker skin protected them from sun. He accepted my explanation and resumed playing. I’m certainly not saying my response was ideal, but it was impromptu and I did my best. Frankly, I hadn’t thought much about talking to my children about race - perfect example of my white privilege. My son is 21 now and I’m proud to say he is very active in working for the betterment of society.
Your statement regarding children being taught they are racist or disadvantaged based on skin color is false - there is no curriculum containing that. I challenge you to find one. I’ve read about half of the curriculum’s alleged to teach white children they are racist - in their entirety. I found nothing. I’m amazed how many people simply accept this lie without verifying it themselves. It also raises the question of why parents know nothing about what their children are learning in school. I find that to be disturbing.

im white but how how do white women manage to get offended for everyone? shut the hell up about it, just like Morgan freeman said, if you want to end racism stop talking about it but don’t forget about it.
