As a college textbook rep in the early seventies, I called on Tougaloo College. It was a small school but the instructors were fiercely proud of the standards they maintained for the students. Many graduates have become statesmen, lawyers, doctors, teachers ... I'm deeply saddened that Tougaloo has slipped so far as to welcome the degenerate x42 as their commencement speaker! [A further note: Tougaloo was so dedicated to academics that at one time decades ago an athletic program was passed over in deference to hiring more instructors! That is to be admired.]

I wonder why Bubba is telling those folks to ask Trent Lott for $$$$ to repair buildings. Why don't they repair the buildings themselves? How many alumni are there from Tougaloo? It is a private school, and repairing buildings isn't exactly rocket science. Why doesn't Bubba get out there and do some repair work himself? Or hire someone to do it? He lives in a house paid for by taxpayer dollars. (Their mortgage equals what they charge the secret service for existing there.)

Does Tougaloo College have affirmative action policies?
