Eighth grade students enrolled in a human development course at a Los Angeles preparatory school were recently shown a graphic that appeared to identify individuals who are fat, short, unattractive as oppressed, according to an Instagram account detailing experiences within the school community.
The Instagram account @wokeathw is run anonymously and has received coverage in the Harvard-Westlake School newspaper. Since it began posting content last September, the account has shared nearly 50 messages and screenshots from students and parents within the school community. Most of the posts raise concerns students and parents have about the political undertones of class assignments or messages received from teachers and other school faculty.
