    I just think that just because something doesn't harm you doesn't mean that it's okay.

I agree wholeheartedly. Reading my comment back I realize that a) I sound selfish and b) it might not be so relevant to the US situation as I'd thought and c) that I am probably that lucky (white) guy who gets away with it.

To be honest, I just wanted to add to the discussion any way I could, because I think there is a whole lot wrong with education in all sorts of ways, both in Europe and in the US (although you guys have it way worse on the financial side of things). I feel the same about the Ferguson / racism issue that is at hand now, but I don't respond there because I know I have nothing meaningful to say.
