Maybe they can drive by in their limos and teach the hungry kids about their white privilege.
The son of a bank vice president decided to teach about “white privilege” to his students in Sullivan County, Tennessee where the per capita income is $28,429. After he was fired, the media decided to turn him into a victim. “He Taught About White Privilege and Got Fired. Now He’s Fighting to Get His Job Back,” the headlines blared. A GoFundMe for Matthew Hawn by his sister, a principal in the Tennessee public school system, has already raised over $55,000 of its projected $85,000 goal.
That’s more money than a lot of the locals in Appalachia would be likely to earn in a year’s time. Sullivan County is 95% white and 2% black. The rate of hungry children in the region is double the national rate and a third of those children live in Sullivan County.
