Many of those in the educational field are liberals. It is entirely possible, through the forced attendance of mandated "white toxicity" workshops such as were forced on teachers by the commie Mexican schools chancellor here in NYC, that these white teachers, of both genders, were imbued with a sense of guilt for all the imagined advantages they had based on their skin color.
A retired teacher, I never burdened myself with nonsense like that. I got what I got and where I got through hard work and diligence on my own--no one gave me a darn thing. And only the very young teachers, fresh from their libtard-taught college classes sporting the latest commie slogans and ideas, might have harbored any of this nonsense "white guilt". "White guilt" simply was a topic which NEVER came up in the teachers lounge, from anyone of any race.
So I totally disagree with your statement "teachers have a lot of white guilt". If you turned in a term paper to me with a generalized statement like that, I would have given it straight back to you and demanded specific examples and citations for what you claim.
If the world, according to you, would be a "whole lot better without their ignorance", who do you propose to have as teachers in the schools? Surely not YOU, obviously the most ignorant of all...
The teaching profession in the public schools and the universities is in a shambles. It is infested with ignorant, bigoted, shortsighted people. Anti white bigotry is now all the rage among your precious teaching profession. They can claim the moral high ground all they want, but a growing number of aware and thoughtful individuals know that teachers have dug themselves into a pit of intolerance and academic incompetence based in intellectual dishonesty. You may be an exception as I know there are some out there.
