Thank God We're Not in Kansas (Anymore)
Check out this article from the Mother Jones Blog about a principal in Kansas who suspended a student for speaking Spanish to his friends at lunch. Granted, the school woke up and allowed the kid back in school after the superintendent learned of the reason behind the suspension. The principal who made this brainless (racist?) decision refused to comment, but you can tell her how you feel about by clicking here. Hey, I'm not trying to say I live in a blue state or anything, but what's going on in the "free state?" First the Kansas school board votes to stop teaching evolution (see http://www.cnn.com/US/9908/12/kansas.evolution.flap/) and now kids have to talk to each other only in English? What, is Cousin Eddie running the school system?
