Heidi Stevens: Why the Waffle House shooting should get us talking about white privilege
I used to help out at an after-school cooking program where the kids happened to be mostly students of color.
One week the regular instructor was off, and we had a sub. When I gathered my young charges at the beginning of class to take them to wash their hands, the sub turned to me and said, solemnly, "Keep an eye on them."
I stared at him blankly.
"I don't want them trying to escape."
Escape? From a fun, completely optional class where they get to mix and measure and create and eat?
