Totally Different Destinies?
What the heck is going on here and how much money is being spent on this farce? Does the federal Education Department have nothing better to do with our money than to spend it on nonsense? Starting this month, many of the nations children will head back to school and regardless of their race I hope that they will end the year on a successful note and be allowed to continue to the next grade. In the meantime, the federal Education Department is worrying about adding more check off boxes so that students can "identify" themselves appropriately. The solution to kids rebuffing calls to box them in is not to add more boxes but to simply leave them alone. On the flip side, adding more check off boxes because a growing number of people feel a sense of frustration because they can't easily identify themselves within one box is ludicrious. And I'm not so sure what to make of the statement, "Those categories are related to totally different destinies in our society." Is there something I'm missing here? This statement is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth. You decide.
