CANDACE HATHAWAY February 03, 2023
A Maryland public school district provided students with a worksheet that explained various types of oppression, including "speciesism," or the oppression of plants, flora, and animals, according to documents obtained by Parents Defending Education, Fox News Digital reported.
Howard County Public School System had teachers assign students a "Privileged or Oppressed? Worksheet" from the district's Black Lives Matter curriculum.

The worksheet listed 13 types of oppression, including racism, sexism, classism, elitism, religious oppression, anti-Semitism, militarism, ageism, adultism, heterosexism, ableism, xenophobia, linguistic oppression, and speciesism.
The worksheet outlined "non-target groups" and "target groups" for each type of oppression listed. For example, racism was explained as targeting "people of color (African, Asian, Native, Latino/a)" but not targeting "white" individuals. The worksheet taught students that heterosexism oppresses "gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender" people, not heterosexuals. Religious oppression was defined as targeting "Muslims and others," but not "Christians, Protestants." It also stated that militarism often targets Vietnam veterans but not those who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the Afghan War.
Lastly, the worksheet explained that speciesism is another form of oppression that targets "animals/plants/flora."
The BLM curriculum instructed students to identify "the places where they enjoy privilege and places where their status causes them to lack privilege." MORE AT 'Speciesism' is oppression against plants, animals: Public school district assigns students 'privileged or oppressed' worksheet - TheBlaze
