Private schools are engines of inequality. Their promotion of individualist identitarianism is a way to distract from their role as pillars of class society: a way to make everyone feel more virtuous & detach & #39;social justice& #39; from money

I& #39;m not blaming pupils or teachers. Nearly everyone wants to feel that they are good.
I& #39;m also ready to be corrected but it& #39;s my impression that privileged educational settings are particularly keen on equalities without economics https://swky.co/lltQJm ">https://swky.co/lltQJm&qu...

This isn& #39;t to say anti-racist initiatives (name changes), feminist societies etc shouldn& #39;t exist. I support them.
But some of what is going on seems to me the opposite of intersectionality. It& #39;s more like displacement activity, and class/money is what is being displaced.

Seems worth adding, intersectionality as theorised by Crenshaw was sex/race.
But socialist feminists already had a model of intersecting structures of oppression/ exploitation ie: capitalism (class) & patriarchy (sex).
Today& #39;s much stronger focus on race & racism is right

But it& #39;s so weird how many people seem to think that before "intersectionality" all "white feminists" thought about was themselves.
Socialist feminist internationalism & anti-imperialism were political forces in the early c20th.
(Which isn& #39;t to say they had anti-racism nailed)

Finally i think scars of section 28, rightwing homophobia (fwiw I was at an ilea/GLC comp & fiercely against) have blinded people to nature of what is being advocated to children today: not just personal, sexual freedom & anti-discrimination but stereotypes, pills, surgery
