Learning how white people ruin the world

A conservative black activist warns that "white guilt" has found its way from our college campuses into the halls of the local high school.
Derryck Green of Project 21 says he's troubled by the "White Privilege Conference" coming in April in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The website for "The WPC" states that it purpose is to examine "privilege and oppression" in order to create a "more equitable world."
Major universities are offering course credits for students to attend and some schools even pay the cost for this conference.
Green notes that high schoolers are included among the attendees.
"And to me it seems," he says, "like they're trying to indoctrinate students, particularly white students, in an evolved version of white guilt."
Despite its title, the conference examines issues "beyond skin color" and claims that it's purpose is not to "beat up on white folks," presumably like those pictured above.
Yet a post-conference "Accountability Brief" describes what attendees have done after returning home.
A social studies teacher described changing the history curriculum to "focus on the history of race, human rights, and white privilege," and a second teacher described using a math lesson to "ignite (a) conversation about systemic injustice."
Other responses include a "teen forum on white privilege and racism" and a group of educators meeting to discuss "global citizenship education."
The well-read Drudge Report website linked to a story this week from Virginia, where parents were upset at a "white privilege" video shown to their children at Glen Allen High School.
A grandmother said the students watched a film (see below) that was "dividing them up" by race as they sat together.
Green says it's hard to find anything good that comes from attending this annual conference. It "separates us and segregates us," he says, and creates "walls of resentment" between groups of people.
