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 'social justice' from money

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

This isn't to say anti-racist initiatives (name changes), feminist societies etc shouldn't exist. I support them.
But some of what is going on seems to me the opposite of intersectionality. It'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's much stronger focus on race & racism is right

But it'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'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
