Anger as school board pays for Minnesota teachers to attend
'White Privilege' conference despite massive budget cuts

Just two months ago it announced swathing budget cuts of $7million, which will cost 94 teachers their jobs and force the closure of one elementary school.

But now the Lakeville School Board in Minnesota has found the money to send a delegation of teachers to the annual White Privilege Conference at the Bloomington Sheraton Hotel, Minneapolis

It's paying $160 for each teacher to attend the event, which aims to address ideas of white supremacy - but has been attacked by right-wing commentators as a 'white guilt' festival.

According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, the board is also shelling out $125 a day of taxpayers' money for substitute teachers to cover the missing staff.
