The Ford Foundation has recently published a useful quiz to help people examine their own privilege and a similar older BuzzFeed quiz has recently been making the rounds on Social Media (I’ve also shared them here previously). Though I wouldn’t necessarily use those quizzes for high school (though they could be very effective for professional development purposes or for college classes), there are other resources I think would be usable. I thought I’d share them all here.
I’m adding this list to A Collection Of Useful Posts, Articles & Videos On Race & Racism – Help Me Find More.
You might also be interested in A Collection Of Advice On Talking To Students About Race, Police & Racism.
Here’s what I have so far – feel free to suggest others I missed:

Mad about Stephon Clark protesters shutting down the Kings and I-5? Check your privilege appeared in The Sacramento Bee.
Overheard:
7yo: What’s privilege?
5yo: I think it’s when some ppl can eat candy every day. They don’t have to even ask. They get it. And some people can’t get any even if they ask nicely.
7yo: that is… so sad.

White privilege isn’t a curse word. It’s not a way to blame or shame anyone. But white privilege is real — and it’s affecting the gun debate in the wake of the Parkland shooting.

What Is White Privilege, Really? is from Teaching Tolerance.
White privilege does not mean that you don’t struggle.
It does mean that you don’t struggle as a result of your skin color.
