Teach for America – Making the Underclass Much Like Rich Folks

By Tom Hanson | Related entries in News

Teach for America is a “colonial project.”

It is a “missionary project.”

It begins with the basic premise that the solution for the underclass in America is to make them ‘as much like’ rich white folks as possible. When you listen to the TFA leadership, they don’t really talk about “education” ……..

    If they can make the underclass stop blaming everyone but themselves for their problems, good on them! If that’s being “rich white folks,” good on them! If that’s colonialism and a missionary project, good on all those missionaries and colonialists! I’d say exporting self-respect, self-restraint, self-reliance and self-control are the key to success everywhere and at every time in human history, including now.
