Minster of Education
Dear Sir:
It was very recently brought to the attention of Unified Grassroots that the Provincial Curriculum for Grade 6 Social Studies includes a section on instructing students on white privilege. The specific reference to this instructional direction can be found in the Saskatchewan Curriculum, Social Studies 6, 2009. The versioning history notes changes proposed and made in August 2025 and January 2026, however these changes do not affect the items in question. Within the Grade 6 Social Studies Curriculum, page 30 of 38 under “Indicators”, item c. and d. are the items of interest. These items read as follows:
“c. Investigate the concept of white privilege, and assess the degree to which it exists in Canada and a selection of countries bordering on the Atlantic Ocean.”
“d. Identify the personal and societal impact of white privilege on individuals and groups within Canada and a selection of countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean.”
Having this topic included in the Social Studies Curriculum of any Grade is very objectional, however including it as a topic for discussion for 11- or 12-year-olds is egregious. I would suggest that the existence of “white privilege” is not an accepted fact by very many citizens of Saskatchewan, I for one do not accept that it exists. Undoubtably there would be quite a few graduates of the College of Education, from whose numbers the Ministry hires our teachers, who do believe it. They saw fit to include it in the curriculum. This is a perfect example of where a particular political point of view is considered the only relevant point of view and treated as fact.
The issue of teachers discussing “white privilege” with Grade 6 students was brought to our attention by the parent of a student. The Teacher told the students they have white privilege and described all of the terrible things that go along with being white. He told the students they will get jobs easier than others because of their skin color. The Teacher then went on to say that their town is so full of white privilege that if there were more kids of color, they would see more racism.
This entire issue is so troubling I find it hard to believe that the topic of white privilege has been in the Provincial Curriculum since 2009. Hopefully it has not been there for the last 16 years and it was added at a later date. Just as it can be deleted now. The teachers’ comments present white privilege as a fact of nature, when nothing could be further from the truth. The children in that class are being color shamed by the teacher for being white, when they had no choice in the matter. I would be very interested in knowing what the adult population of Lumsden would think of being labeled as all having white privilege and being a repository of latent racism, waiting only for people of color to move to town in order for their innate racist tendencies to come to the fore.
I would ask for an immediate response from you on this issue, hopefully one that includes a commitment to remove any discussion of white privilege from any / all provincial curriculum, and the censor of teachers who are so biased.
Sincerely
Unified Grassroots Board
Good evening Premier Moe.
I want to thank you for the time and effort you commit to doing your job as our Premier.
Considering the present political climate and the manner in which the Federal Government conducts itself, it is imperative that you consider what you may need to do in order to protect the residents of Saskatchewan from an evil which is imposed upon us by the federal system we live in. You cannot stop the Liberal Government from bringing in such legislation as Bill C9 and other Bills which remove and restrict our civil rights. That is beyond your control. You can and must consider what options you have to protect Saskatchewan and its residents from becoming criminals for such things as reading the Bible. If you cannot remove the problem which is afflicting your residents, you need to be willing to remove your residents from the problem. When that day comes, and it may be here very soon, you will be faced with taking what I believe will be the only course of action open to you. You must consider now that Sovereignty is that option.
There are many fiscal and economic considerations to be made in the argument for Sovereignty, and they are all important. However, if I may quote scripture, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul?" (Matthew 16:26). We could be the wealthiest most prosperous place to live in the whole world but if we are not free citizens, what use is that? If free speech and free thought are not available to us what good is wealth? You as our Premier should be protecting the residents of Saskatchewan from the loss of our freedoms. This is your responsibility. You must consider Sovereignty as an option to do this.
Mr. Sylvester in Alberta makes an excellent argument for sovereignty on many different levels, and we need to listen to them. Sovereignty will come to Alberta and when we are living next door to a country that has no income tax, and very low corporate income tax it will be very hard to keep people and businesses here in Saskatchewan. That fact must be considered in your government's long-term planning for our economic security and maintenance of personal freedoms.
Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.
Sincerely,
