AREN'T YOU ASHAMED? Atone for Any and All Sins We just Made Up! Taxpayers Pony Up for White Privilege Conference

False Guilt and Sin are the eternal scams that keep on giving to flimflamming high priests and politicians alike. Religious zealotry turned to indoctrination in political fanaticism are the major sources of dangerous strife.

The worst of it is, these are suppose to be "educators." It never ceases to amaze how easily supposedly intelligent people are taken in. m/r

Taxpayers Pony Up for White Privilege Conference | National Review Online

Maybe this is a way of paying reparations?

15th annual White Privilege Conference (WPC) will come to Madison, Wis., late this March, and Wisconsin taxpayers are being forced to foot a heavy portion of the bill. Educators, school faculty members, nonprofit staff, students, and others are expected to attend the conference, which will be partly funded by municipal coffers, public universities, and hotel-tax revenue.

Funding for the conference comes from a diverse set of sources: The conference will receive $18,375 from hotel-tax revenue fund used to bring organizations to the local Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center. To co-sponsor the event, the city of Madison will pay $1,500 and the University of Wisconsin Eat Claire is paying $2,000. The publicly funded Madison Area Technical College will also co-sponsor the event.

Adam Tobias of Wisconsin Reporter, a Watchdog.org publication, estimates that a teacher will pay at least $690 to attend the WPC, while a single administrator or faculty member could pay more than $850. Though the number of attendees remains uncertain, a venue hosting several breakout sessions in the conference — the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club — is expecting close to 2,000 guests and the WPC claims to have more than 1,500 attendees each year.

Taxpayers will also incur costs paying substitute teachers to fill in for absent educators at the four-day long conference that runs from Wednesday, March 26, to Saturday, March 29. Outside of taxpayer funding, the WPC depends on donations and fees. Registration for the entire conference can cost from $195 for a college student to $440 for a corporate attendee.
