Disturbing story: Earlier this week my 16-year old daughter came home from public school and told me that "some old black guy with a beard" addressed an assembly that day and ranted about "so-called American democracy" and how the government is "going around ghe world sticking guns in peoples' faces." "Hmmmm", I asked, "Was his name Dick Gregory?" Sure enough, that's who it was! I'm happy to announce that several of the conservative high schoolers booed him and one boy was asked to leave the assembly because of that. My daughter declined to clap for him and did not participate in the standing ovation. This was an unscheduled event. The kids were pulled out of class rather abruptly. There's a black activist parent at this school who's always giving the principal a hard time about diversity, yadda, yadda. I'm betting he leaned on the poor guy to give 'ol Dick some air time. I wonder when they'll invite Newt Gingerich to speak....?
