[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it embarrassing? It should tell him he’s not as important as he thinks he is, and it should humble him. I think Dunbar is also mostly African American, so a(nother) rich white guy isn’t going to be exciting to hear from. Why couldn’t they find a speaker that’s relevant to their students?[/quote]

I think it is awesome that the kids didn’t care or know who he was. (My 10th grade would know and would have walked out - he has read about how their workers are treated and the obscene wealth he has, and the paltry amount he gives to charity as a percentage of wealth).

He was at that school because he gives some $ to subsidize some comp sci classes and the school is a recipient.

Moral: don’t expect a middle aged white dude billionaire to be greeted like a hero by students. [/quote]

I was on the why should they know him camp.  But if he is giving significant funds to the school, they should have let the kids know.  That is a bad on the school.[/quote]
