According to the text you linked to, it seems like it is at least leaving it open to letting the children decide for themselves what to make of it, directed more towards starting a conversation (asking questions) rather than trying to control it. If those attending the school were the ones who actually did the discussing, and this guy only lead the discussion by asking these questions, then I don't see what the problem is.

The "conversation" is: You honkies are terrible people. Now agree or else.

I'm just skeptical because "anti-racists" like this are rarely ever anything but racist themselves. I've seen this kind of thing before though, people at schools don't just come out and say "okay white kids, you're privileged...feel guilty!". It's about subtly holding their hands and walking them down that path so they wind up there themselves.

But still, I can't be sure, so I'm here for a 2nd opinion.

Why not have your friend ask their kid what they think about it, instead of asking the rest of us who also weren't there?

Also, the discussion hardly seems to be about white privilege, there were only a few questions regarding that. I'm not really sure why you event brought that up in the subject line. Way more of it was based on economic class, which arguably does really matter now that upward mobility is dropping here in the U.S.
