Good for her!

I’m surprised she wasn’t suspended for it.
You must not live in CA or NY.

Why do they call it “Black History Month?”
Shouldn’t it be “African American History Month?”

I’m just saying....

No...I don’t. But I do live in a Democratic minority run cesspool of racial disharmony...aka Memphis. My child is a white minority in her school. ;) The teachers (one black and one white) wouldn’t allow the students to write about the “same old Black History month characters” eg MLK, Jr. Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, etc. They wanted the students to write about individuals that don’t always get attention. I thought that was a great idea, personally.

Yet no one had a problem with Michael Jackson's picture being in the parade? A homosexual pedophile is an acceptable role model?

Besides, he wasn't black at the end.

yes, it was a good idea.
There are many great black musicians who have made wonderful contributions to the music community through jazz and blues.

Rodman once averaged 18 rebounds a game. Thats an absurd number in this day and age especially for a 6’8 skinny guy. I admire him for that and think it a historic accomplishment.

I think the teachers that you are most likely to hear about are the ones with horrific or criminal judgement. The vast majority I came across while my kids were growing up were good people with solid judgement.

Only if he makes money and can sing.

Mayor Marion Barry

Mayor Barry isn't one tenth as ludicrous as Ward 8 Councilman Barry.

Yes, after everything they still insist on reelecting that loon. It's a republican form of government at its finest; he's a perfect representative of his constituency.
