Joe Rogan says his daughter’s elementary school taught students to be ‘anti-racist’

Joe Rogan said the school his daughter goes to has provided “anti-racist” teachings after the May 2020 death of George Floyd.

Rogan spoke about the incident on his Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

According to the New York Post, Rogan had some concerns about his daughter’s education. “When the whole George Floyd thing happened, one of the schools that my kids were going to back in California released this email, saying that it’s not enough to not be racist, you now must be anti-racist,” he said.

“And my kid’s 9 at the time. What does that, what does that mean?” Rogan asked. “These kids are not even remotely racist. Like, they have all sorts of different kinds of friends. They – I’ve never heard them discuss it once. It’s just ‘I like this person and she’s nice to me and we like to play together and we both like the same things’ and let’s – so to tell a 9-year-old that you have to be anti-racist as well, then they go looking for racims, they’re gonna go looking to confront it.”

Rogan said he didn’t care if students were taught that that “racism is stupid.” He asked, “But if you want to tell my 9-year-old, they have to be anti-racist. What does it mean?”

Floyds death back in 2020 gave rise to the “anti-racist” movement. Critics believe this movement is meant to make white people feel guilty and that they are not doing enough for the cause.”

I was born and raised in Omaha, NE before moving to Sioux Falls, SD to attend college at Augustana University. This past May I graduated from Augustana with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Biology with an emphasis in Allied Health. I first discovered FBA through my involvement with Turning Point USA where I worked as a Campus Coordinator in college. I have a passion for politics and activism, and was drawn to FBA’s dedication to spreading the truth. Unbiased news is rare in today’s society, so I wanted to be a part of FBA’s mission to change that.
