A Maryland school district is educating students about "speciesism," which includes the oppression against plants as part of a lesson plan linked to Black Lives Matter. Teachers in Howard County Public School System [HCPSS] were instructed to assign students a "Privilege or Oppressed? Worksheet." The worksheet prompts students to identify "the places where they enjoy privilege and places where their status causes them to lack privilege." Speciesism is one of 13 "types of oppression," including racism, sexism, classism, ageism, and adultism.
