Her principal called me right away this morning, the new principal, an African American woman from Trinidad (I only mention this because she shared her discomfort about broaching the subject with the teacher, in case she tried to spin it into a "you're sticking up for him because your black" argument). She was shocked and appalled, assured me that this teacher was not only wrong, but that kind of proselytizing is against federal statutes. She asked my permission to talk to my daughter about this and said that although she believed my daughter was telling the truth, she fully expected this teacher to deny it.About an hour later she calls me back and says I spoke with the teacher and not only did she not deny it, she believed she had every right to say it because "It was on the news" (wonder what network she watches ). The principal quickly disabused her of this notion, gave her a warning that if anything like this ever happened again she would face formal disciplinary action. She also reassured my daughter that she has every every right to have whatever political swag she wants on her person or her backpack as long as it does not otherwise violate the dress code and told her that she was very proud of her for taking an interest in an important issue like politics!Pretty good outcome IMHO
Okay, if she is from Trinidad then how is she African-American?
Hey, blitz, sir, I don't see where this is a duplicate.It's a follow-up.You do good work, sir.

Of course calling General Powell and SOS Rice "Uncle Toms" are perfectly okay with them. The evidence suggests that they are hypocritical idiots who don't lie very well.

Another zero.
On the hardwood, we would call this a double dribble.
