Kind of old article thegrio.com/2013/01/17/white-privilege-lesson-in-wisconsin-high-school-draws-national-attention/National attention has been drawn to a Wisconsin high school’s “American Diversity” course after one parent alleged that students are being taught white people are oppressors of minorities, reports Fox News. One parent of a Delavan-Darien High School student spoke to Fox News. “They’re teaching white guilt. They’re dividing the students,” this parent told said. ”They’re saying to non-whites, ‘You have been oppressed and you’re still being oppressed.’”

I see it as a legit topic of study. Where's the problem?

Nothing wrong with teaching past mistakes so we can learn from them.

Racism definitely exists, but anyone who thinks it's a on way street is crazy.

It definitely goes both ways. I think it should be discussed openly.

Honestly, I think people are more accepting now than ever before. I like it that way. (at least it seems that way within my generation)
