In response to

I work at a school.  For the very most part, I like my job.  Garner a great deal of satisfaction from it.  Yesterday I was not so sure.  It has taken me a day to put some perspective on it.
On Tuesday, September 8, the President of the United States is speaking to all kids in school.  Talking about staying in school.  Staying away from drugs.  Taking personal responsibilty.  You know, "communist" ideals.  At least that is what some parents are concerned about.  They don't want their children being brainwashed by the black man. By the democrat. 
I am appalled and angry by their thinking and actions.  Or rather their willingness to be mislead down a narrow path of lies and ugliness. 
I thouight better of some of these parents. 
They consider themselves "Christians". 
I am not seeing it.  If that is the way their brand of Christianity works, then we are all in very sad shape indeed.
What was even more maddening, was one of the administrators actually considered not allowing the
President to be shown.  To bow to these individuals for fear they would make a scene.  My response was to say "Let them".  It is a bluff to be called and to show their ignorance and hatred and bigotry for what it is.  For everyone to see a bit of themselves in it.  To educate ourselves against the racism and fearmongering. 
Bring it on.
