School Districts Around the Country Wasting Millions of ‘White Privilege’ Training

Our school districts are always whining that they don’t have enough of our tax dollars. But now news is out helping us understand why. They are wasting millions of our tax dollars on “white privilege” training for school teachers and employees.

EAGNews has a great article detailing the millions of education dollars that our schools are wasting.

EAGnews recently obtained a partial list of American school districts that contract with San Francisco-based PEG for educational consulting services. Most of those services come in the form of workshops for teachers and other staff members.

Forty-two districts on that list responded to an EAGnews request for information about how much they have paid PEG over the past five years.

The total amount was $3.9 million between 2010 and 2015, with some districts spending a lot more than others.

The biggest spender on the list was Pittsburgh Public Schools, which paid PEG a whopping $586,300 over a four-year period.

The district’s initial investment was $231,000 in the 2010-11 school year. It spent $96,100 the following year, then $183,200 in 2012-13 and $76,000 in 2013-14.

Then there’s the Osseo, Minnesota school district, which has paid PEG $533,800 over the past three years.
