Guilt-tripped? Interesting new word. 
So our students should be isolated from the real world? Shouldn
't they know what is going on? Of course I don't believe in isolation-won't 
work in today's world. Political purpose? Is it wrong to want others to be 
free from slavery? Is it wrong to want to help someone.
