Politically speaking, most people involved in academia are liberal.
|
|
As a teacher, Conroy's views have changed tremendously during his lifetime.
|
|
When Conroy was a youth, he was a racist. Presently, Conroy is a liberal.
|
|
|
|
Pat came from a conservative background starting at high school.
|
|
|
|
"...when I rode in the back seat of a '57
|
|
Chevrolet along a night blackened Carolina road
|
|
hunting for blacks to hit with rotten watermelons
|
|
. . . We called this intrepid form of entertainment
|
|
'nigger-knocking,' and it was great fun during the
|
|
carnival of blind hatred I participated joyfully in
|
|
during my first couple of years in high school." (p. 6)
|
|
|
|
Within a group of other white high school kids, it is very hard to
|
|
grasp equal freedom for blacks and whites within a racist school.
|
|
|
|
Pat's transformation first started while visiting a concentration camp
|
|
in Dachau.
|
|
|
|
"The imprint of Dachau branded me indelibly and
|
|
caused me to suffer the miscarriage of my hopeful
|
|
philosophy. If man was good, then Dachau could
|
|
never have happened." (p.10)
|
|
|
|
The second imprint on Pat's life came after Martin Luther King Jr's
|
|
assassination. Pat noticed that the white students reacted passively to
|
|
the event.
|
|
|
|
"Since the faculty was all white, the black
|
|
students walked the halls in silence, tears
|
|
of frustration rolling down their cheeks and
|
|
unspoken bitterness written on their faces in
|
|
their inability to communicate their feelings
|
|
to their white teachers." (p. 11)
|
|
|
|
This reaction to the assassination stayed with Pat for many years. Pat
|
|
Conroy's view have changed drastically. He is currently a liberal after
|
|
watching and witnessing many acts of brute force against blacks. "I
|
|
lobbied for a course in black history in a school 90 percent white." (p.
|
|
13) Pat wanted change but he wanted to try something new and adventurous.
|
|
When his friend Bernie presented Pat with the Yamacraw job, Pat was
|
|
thrilled. "I did not wish to return to the high school. I was through with
|
|
teachers more concerned with the length of mini-skirts and hair than with
|
|
education." (p. 16) Pat was eager to accept a job with mostly blacks who
|
|
could neither read nor write. Pat wanted to make a change.
|
|
|
|
Pat Conroy changed for the good. Pat started out as a racist who used
|
|
to try to bash blacks and then transformed into a liberal. Pat Conroy is
|
|
currently a liberal.
