White Guilt Invades Elite Illinois High School

Now that institutions of higher learning have been thoroughly molded in the principles and practices of white guilt, it's time to turn to the high schools.

For that, we take you to Chicago's affluent North Shore suburbs, where the excellent New Trier High School has set aside an entire day to program student minds with the shame of white privilege.

Indeed, the children ought to be deeply chastened for being born into suburbs that are 80 percent white, upper-middle, and upper-upper class. They should feel profound remorse for living in a high school district where mind-blowing property taxes provide the highest-quality education. Where school superintendent Linda Yonke pulls down a dazzling salary in excess of $300,000, where 15 administrators and half of its 400 teachers make more than $100,000.
