It was a real slap in my face to learn about White Privilege in grad school. Our school was very social justice oriented, and we students had to learn how to handle the shame of having our previous notions of poverty and to deal with the fact that most of us (not all)had so much material wealth.
I see the children in my DD's school struggle with all the points mentioned in the article. Many of the kids started out so sweet in kindergarten and now, older, turn angry, sullen. Our school is a real mix of socio economic levels.
