“The “White Privilege” Fetish Of Seattle’s Public Schools”

Matt Rosenberg:

On its Web site, the Seattle Public Schools Office of Equity and Race Relations details what it expects of the students from four Seattle high schools who are being sent to the eighth annual White Privilege Conference April 18-21 in Colorado Springs. The SPS white privilege conference “expectations” document states that for student attendees, ensuing goals should include: “educate youth and people who work with youth about issues of privilege;” and, “support and develop youth leadership for social and economic justice.” White privilege, as I discuss in a Seattle Times op-ed today, is about the pernicious cult of individualism and self-determination.
