Chilling observations. And yes, to my...Dear Suzi,<br /><br />Chilling observations. And yes, to my chagrin, I teach at a school where the Obama speech was not shown. Censured. Silenced by the voices of a number of extremist parents. <br /><br />I have shared my disappointment with my principal and I am planning to raise the topic at the faculty meeting on Tuesday. I teach at a school where the KKK was allowed to come in and recruit student members as late as 1987. Where they marched in the homecoming parade the same year. The same county where Lemuel Penn was gunned down in 1964 by Klansmen. A county where the schools should be taking a strong stance to atone for the sins of the past.<br /><br />I would leave for a more liberal county or state, if I felt like it wasn't essential that I stay. It would be easier and less maddening to work with more like minded colleagues and administrators. My saving grace is the few wonderful compassionate, brilliant colleagues with whom I share a similar world view. And the kids who make me laugh daily.<br /><br />But I can only take so much. And I am worried for our President. I don't know what to do help squelch all this madness.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, what is your source for Joe Wilson's white supremacist ties? I'd love to pass that on to my people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
