The race industry: still alive and looking for growth

"Education bureaucrats maintain an incessant harangue on white racism because they see the writing on the wall: most students are indifferent to race and just want to get along.

If left to themselves, they would go about their business perfectly happily and color-blindly, and the race industry would wither on the vine.

Thus the institutional imperative to remind black students constantly about their victimization and the white students about their guilt. Last month, the elite Phillips Academy at Andover proudly announced a student presentation on White Privilege: A History and Its Role in Education.

Would the student have come up with such a topic on her own without the school’s educators deliberately immersing her in such trivial matters? Of course not."
