LA CROSSE, Wis. – A recent MacIver Institute investigation has uncovered that the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse spent over $26,000 on the White Privilege Conference held in Madison in late March.

The MacIver Institute reports:

An open records request revealed that 23 UW-La Crosse staff and 91 UW-La Crosse students attended the conference. UW-La Crosse covered the costs for each individual to attend.

In total, the western Wisconsin public university spent $26,562.33, including $2,000 to sponsor the conference and $16,496.25 for registrations.

UW-LaCrosse has not, however, specified if federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding was used to pay the $26,000 bill.

MacIver previously reported on the Department of Public Instruction’s use of $2,000 in special education or IDEA funding to send eight staff members to the WPC. It was also discovered that Monona Grove School District used IDEA funding to send 49 educators to the conference.

Nearly half of the staff that attended are faculty, while the others were staff from the Office of Multicultural Service and Residence life, among others..

“According to Diana Vang, a UW-L student who went to the [2008] conference with Multicultural Student Services, the purpose of the conference was to raise awareness about the privileges whites have that minority groups do not,” the Racquet article reads. “For example, the conference touched on the fact that successful white males are more likely to be honored with their own holiday, while Black History Month is celebrated during February, the shortest month of the year.”

The City of La Crosse hosted the conference in 2010, making Wisconsin a two-time host of the WPC.

EAGnews has reported on white privilege in the past, and found that much of the brainwashing that happens at these conferences is pro-socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian. Better yet, it is your tax money that goes to support this leftist ‘social justice’ indoctrination.

In early 2013 EAGnews released an expose, “RE-CREATING AMERICA: Cultural Sensitivity in Wisconsin Schools,” that examined the CREATE Wisconsin program which is funded with grant money from the federal IDEA program. The video uncovered the guilt embedded in white privilege and the inherent racism in society.

When it comes to programs like CREATE Wisconsin and other white privilege-related conferences, they are focused on creating a sense of guilt among white educators by portraying American society, as well as our schools, as hopelessly racist.

That is not something that is good in our schools, and it is certainly not something taxpayers should have to fund.
