I wonder what the reaction would have been if a student showed up wearing a dashiki citing his own heritage. I think I know.

As a teacher (I detest the term educator as if being a teacher were somehow beneath contempt), I find that our educational system is rife with incompetents and petitr bureaucrats who thrive on "policy." Actual education is not very important, in case you didn't know that already.

I'll bet ole Jeanne (hmm, French spelling. Coincidence?) would shrink from the suggestion that she had been racially or ethnically discriminatory.

On the other hand, ole Miles can take this as a lesson in life. Sometimes that's the way things go, and you have to deal with small minded people. And often they are in positions of power over you.

Just ask Ron.

If this is the worst he has to deal with this year, he's a very lucky young man.

Now, let's storm the friggin' school and hang the witch--while kilted!
