White Privilege in Appalachia?
Wisconsin’s state-level education department spent $2,000 in federal disability education funding to send eight employees to the White Privilege Conference that occurred March 26-29 in Madison, Wis.
The MacIver Institute, a free-market think tank, discovered the expenditure.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is headed by Tony Evers, a Democrat, The Wall Street Journal notes.
Officials with the department rationalized the $2,000 expenditure by suggesting that the White Privilege Conference would help bureaucrats in America’s Dairyland address disabilities among people who are not white. . . .
The conference focused on “white supremacy, white privilege and oppression.” Advocates of “white privilege” preach that all white people carry and utilize “an invisible package of unearned assets,” as inconsequential feminist Peggy McIntosh first put it in a 1987 essay.
Participants who bought their own tickets to the four-day confab the paid over $400 each for the privilege of hearing obscure leftists rant about privilege.
During one conference session, former high school English teacher and current activist Kim Radersma described teaching as “a political act,” notes the Journal. She reportedly declared: “If you don’t want to work for equity, get the fuck out of education” and “find another job.” . . .
