Controversy
On February 16, 2021, East Side Community High School Principal Mark Federman sent out a survey to White parents asking them to reflect on their "Whiteness". The survey included a list of "The Eight White Identities" such as "White Supremacist", "White Privilege", "White Abolitionist", and "White Traitor". According to Federman, this was done "as part of a series of materials meant for reflection" and as "food for thought".[5] News.com.au noted that the survey "has brought about yet another heated debate regarding racial discourse in America."[6]
