     Segregation and racial exclusion used to be racist. Used to be\u2026 Now-a-days, it is a moral imperative to achieve \u201cjustice\u201d, as seen by the so-called \u201cDallas Justice Now<\/a>\u201d which wants White parents to achieve \u201cequity<\/a>\u201d by sacrificing the \u201cprivilege<\/a>\u201d of their children by committing to stop their children from even applying to an Ivy League or other prestigious school.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo Our White Allies:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTalk is not enough. Commit yourself towards taking action and making sacrifices to correct centuries of injustice. Open up spaces for Black and LatinX communities by refusing to send your kids to Ivy League and US News & World Report Top 50 schools and encourage friends, neighbors, and family members to do the same. Imagine if those hundreds of thousands of spots at these institutions were occupied only by marginalized communities. Imagine the opportunities. We can achieve true equity within our lifetimes but only if white folks are willing to sacrifice their privileges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dallas Justice NOW College Pledge:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a white person with privilege both from my whiteness and my neighborhood I recognize the need to make sacrifices for the purpose of correcting hundreds of years of murder, slavery, discrimination, and lack of educational and economic opportunities perpetrated upon people of color. I understand that access to top schools is a key component in economic and social advancement. Therefore, I commit that my children will not apply to or attend any Ivy League School or US News & World Report Top 50 School so that position at that school is available for people of color to help correct historical wrongs. If I do not have children under 18 then I will commit to encouraging my white privileged friends, neighbors, and family members with children to sign the pledge and holding them accountable until they do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you been asked to take the pledge? Don\u2019t be a racist hypocrite. Sign the pledge today!<\/p>\n

“Sincerely,<\/p>\n

\u201cDallas Justice NOW<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note Dallas Justice Now will be publicly announcing the names of those who have and have not signed the pledge.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     They have even sent letters<\/a> to parents<\/a> in the area, including well-off suburban parents who are liberal and\/or Democrats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

     If the \u201cwoke\u201d warriors of \u201csocial justice\u201d had their way, this \u201cpledge\u201d would be mandatory.<\/p>\n
