A “privilege test” was given to 150 eighth-grade students at a Wisconsin public school in December and consisted of 55 statements participants checked off such as:
- I am white
- I am a man
- I am heterosexual
- I feel comfortable in the gender I was born in
- My family and I have never lived below the poverty line
- My parents are still married
- I do not have any physical disabilities
Teachers at Badger Middle School in West Bend wanted to start a conversation about privilege after students read the classic book “To Kill a Mockingbird,” which deals with racism in the Jim Crow South, the district told WITI-TV.
