Take a look around you, Ole Sarge...Colleges certainly are teaching White Guilt to students. University of Minnesota in particular!
No, Ole Sarge is still right!
The teachers that effect most of our young people are still the elementary and high school teachers that struggle with the brunt of education's responsibilities. They are also the ones who struggle with the multiple burdens of being under-valued, over-worked, and strapped with being the parental figure when none other will stand up.
If colleges are offerring classes in "White Guilt" and the like then they are doing so as "an elective" class and the students don't have to sign up for them.
"First they came for the teachers... then they came for your books." I'd stop worrying so much about people coming for your guns and start worrying more about people trying to come after your educators.

Oh...thanks for clearing that up! Just because a class is "elective" that makes it ok to teach garbage like that. Teachers that effect our young people are Elementary through High School? So your saying that a person in their late teen's knows what he or she wants to do in life? That's why college kids keep changing their Major in their second and third in college. I'm not worried about somebody coming to take my guns away (don't have any) or people coming for the teachers or my books (whatever that means). I'm just a little concerned about the moral path this Country is taking. Why have a class in college (elective or not) that teaches this Country was founded by white racists Europeans who only wanted to kill the Indians and take their land away?

Well, that's what they did. You cannot deny that. So what was the purpose if not to take their land at all costs and make it what a white Scot/Irish/Welsh/German wanted it to be? They also brought poor Chinese in to build dam up the western rivers to make the land suitable for settlement(but no Chinese settlements), they made the Indians wards of the state, the white wealthy planters in the South used slave labor, those in Texas used slave Mexican labor. Please. stop with the nonsense. It doesn't matter what a piece of paper says if no one follows it. "All men are created equal" is a prime example. This was said by those who OWNED people! geez, wake up! Our nation treated blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, and eastern Europeans as real or virtual slaves for generations. Today, that has all changed and we are finally realizing that the country belongs to all ethnic groups, not just northern European/English immigrants. If you cannot abide that happening, then you need to go to someplace where only your kind live.

Girlfriend, You have white guild down, I give you an "A" Good Job.
How did this go from education to this? Don't take me wrong, many of these things needs to be said, but the relevance with the subject of education???
Very well put!
I wonder if there was a teacher who make a difference in the CEO's life, that helped him become successful?
Most likely!
One of you tell me, If it wasn't for a teacher, how would you ever know anything? You were not born with knowledge. Your parents? Hah. Whether you like it or not, you are dependent on a teacher. So did your parents. Why are you here? To learn from others, which puts them in the position of a teacher. Unless of course you were hoping for some dirty pictures, in which case you were disappointed.
So, just cut the crap and give those who teach their due.
