A New York City public school is facing scrutiny after it sent students’ parents a handout asking them to identify where they land on a scale of “whiteness.”

The New York Post reported that parents of students at East Side Community High School received the document from Mark Federman, the school’s principal. The handout features a graphic depicting a color-coded meter of “The 8 White Identities,“ with ”white supremacist“ in the red zone on the left and ”white abolitionist” in green on the right.
