High School Student Julia Saville was blasted in a school wide email over her choice of Candace Owens for a Black History Month Presentation.
Julia Saville is a junior at St. Margaret’s High School in Tappahannock in Virginia, this relatively small school has 107 students across grades 8-12.
Saville is a member of the Black Student Union and the chapter leader of Turning Point USA. She chose Candace Owens for her Black History Month Project
From The Daily Wire:
“I know that they have a different perspective on things,” Saville told The Daily Wire. “I just wanted to get their perspective and [understand] their experiences on campus.”
The Black Student Union assigned its members to present on “black trailblazers” that have contributed to the black community in honor of Black History Month. The presentations were sent out to the school in honor of black accomplishments. For her part, Saville chose Candace Owens.
On Wednesday, Feb. 17, Saville was scheduled to present on her chosen black trailblazer. When she awoke that morning, she received an email from a classmate condemning Saville for choosing Owens as a “black trailblazer.” The email was sent out to all staff and students at the school.
“I’d like to address some falsified information here… Candace Owens is not someone we should be recognizing today especially during Black History Month when she has done absolutely nothing for the black community … [Owens] was called a racist because she was,” the email read. “Candace Owens openly tried to degrade the struggles of the black community by telling the general public that America is not a racist country and that everyone who believes that it is is trying to divide America.”
This story highlights the cultural changes in America and how politics have bleed into schools.
Saville goes on in the interview with The Daily Wire and says that she had never had a negative interaction with this student prior to the Black History Month Project.

So one brainwashed leftist student complained. So what?
“. . . and how politics have bleed into schools.” This was written by someone whose head is in the sand.
Go back and read John Dewey, often referred to as “The Father of the Public School Movement,” from over 100 years ago. John Dewey did not try to hide it in the least and made it very clear that what you see in this incident — manipulation of values away from common sense and away from Judeo-Christian values — was THE PURPOSE of public schools from before the beginning of the 20th century.
No more diversity of thought, no allowance for exploration or study is allowed in our education system which is devoid of educating but instead brainwashing of our next generations of citizens. This is tragic. It would not have happened in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90, or even turn of the century. Students were allowed to explore and open study of diverse interests. The thought police were not around to attack. America is losing something most precious in it’s path to communism. Our government is bypassing socialism and going straight to communism.
absolutely accurate..Liberal/communists (they are one and the same) are a plague on the civilized nations of earth. They cannot stand reasonable argument. (because they always lose). Free speech (according to them) Is speech that they condone. The ONLY way a liberal would EVER change is if they ACTUALLY lived under the “system” they espouse. I might suggest China,Cuba,Venezuela,Russia,Vietnam, and North Korea.
This is the hallmark of brainwashing. No dissent is tolerated, no questions are answered honestly and all facts contrary to the narrative are dismissed.
Any opinions that you have that even remotely challenge and/or downplay the validity the lefts beliefs are always called racist and vehemently discounted. When was the last time you disagreed with a socialist /marxist/ liberal and they agreed to actually hear and respect your opinion. Maybe NEVER !! When asked what they don’t agree with they regurgitate something they heard, they get loud, retort with vicious dialogue, and if they don’t get their way, they turn their backs on you while the mutter obscenities. Some, a very few will accept your thoughts but most are adamant about being right at all costs and won’t bother to carry on a civil conversation. They want you to listen to them but not speak about what you believe.
