If an adult says "I want to jump off this cliff". I may say "You have a lot to live for, and try to convince them to live". Yet, ultimately if they insist I won't be stopping them.
If a child is told "Hmmm... maybe you want to jump off a cliff", "No, I don't want to", "but, maybe you do" then I am going to want to obliterate that person pushing that at them.
If a child wants to "jump off a cliff" without being pushed I certainly will try to get them help. I also know how much we change as our body changes. I know things are likely to improve if they can just get past the period of change. There are cases where it might not change. Once they are considered an adult then that choice is not really mine.
The racism aspects tie into this as well. Forcing the racism tropes into the minds of children is not a good thing. Building up those walls and division from an early age.
I don't have problems with people teaching about history and covering racism in detail. I do have problems with assuming the oppressor/oppressed mentality and pushing it as an ongoing thing that likely will never be overcome and that isn't dramatically better than it has been in history.
Which would show society moving in the right direction...
I do think for awhile now a lot of that "progress" has been reversed...
I think that is intentional.
