Mom Unleashes Fury After Spanish Teacher Sends Children Home With This ‘Privilege’ Assignment

The mother of a Tampa, Florida, seventh-grader is speaking out after finding an assignment given to her 12-year-old daughter and other students in Spanish class at Monroe Junior High.

The form asked, “How much privilege do you have? Circle the boxes that apply to you.”

The categories on the form listed “Race,” “Skin Color,” “Religion,” “Sex,” “Gender,” “Sexual Orientation” and “Disability.”

The options under gender included, “cisgendered,” “transgendered” or “genderqueer.”

Common core at the beginning... you haven't seen anything yet... Wait until your 5 year old is learning about sex ed...

I guess I am a privileged white boy. Started working on the family farm around 10 YOA and held a job all day in summer with a part time night job (seven nights). Loved every hour and still employed in my 70's.
Privileged to have had and have employment. Never used unemployment benefits. It was actually looked down upon, which I see nothing wrong with if needed.

I feel it is a privilege to live in this county knowing I am protected by the men and women who serve in the military and in law enforcement. Yes, I am privileged.

See you are privileged. You get to work all those long and hard hours so they gave give it to people that don't want to work.
