SF and Palo Alto schools investigated for ‘Wheel of Privilege’

(KRON) — The U.S. Department of Education’s Student Privacy Policy Office opened investigations into two Bay Area school districts for allegedly violating parents’ rights. Some students were instructed to participate in “Wheel of Power/Privilege” activities as part of ethnic studies and answer very personal questions, according to USDE. Palo Alto Unified School District and San Francisco Unified School District are accused of requiring students to reveal “intimate details about themselves and their families without parental consent or knowledge,” federal education officials wrote. “These invasive questionnaires require students to identify personal information such as their sexual orientations, gender identities, mental and physical health conditions, family economic status, race, and more. Students are then asked to determine their ‘privilege status’ based on the information they provide,” USDE wrote.
