Outrageous Malfunction

Are you salting away a little money for your retirement? Trying to plan for your kids’
education? If so, Seattle Public Schools seems to think you’re a racist.

According to the district’s official Web site, “having a future time orientation”
(academese for having long-term goals) is among the “aspects of society that overtly
and covertly attribute value and normality to white people and Whiteness, and devalue,
stereotype and label people of color.”

Planning
ahead is considered racist?
