UNC Volunteers Your Cash

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, also well-known as the Berkley of the East, has revealed that slavery existed in the United States in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Apparently no one knew about that before today.

"This university was built by slaves and free blacks," said Chancellor James Moeser. "We need to be candid about that, acknowledge their contributions."

Again, good thing they revealed this, as until they made this announcement and spent millions of taxpayer dollars building exhibits, displays, monuments, and statues to admit it, apparently no one had any idea that slavery existed. Or maybe some people knew there was slavery, but they just assumed the slaves didn't actually DO anything.

Far down in the news story, we find out the real purpose for this:

Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree. But he believes those found to have had links to slavery should pay reparations.

There you have it. The University, since someone did something 200 years ago, wants to take MORE money from you, the taxpayer, and give it to someone else who had nothing to do with anything. Isn't that nice of them?

Once again, it is NOT charity; it is NOT good, nice, or honorable, to TAKE money from one person and GIVE it to another. Explain to me again why in the hell education can only exist with government running it? Oh yeah, because people who were accountable wouldn't consider such moronic ideas.
