When Common Sense Prevails...
...you can be sure there's a pissed-off liberal waiting in the wings somewhere, crying like a baby who's just lost his binky, as a direct result thereof.
From the Boston Globe:
Schools won't close on Parks's anniversary
Good.
Not good (or surprising).
Up yours, you assmunch. The single biggest roadblock to overcoming racial bias in the City of Boston today is bloated, race-baiting douchebags like yourself who fly the racism flag everytime you hear someone ask for cream in their coffee at the corner donut shop, for Christ's sake!
What? Advocating for the education of children of color? How dare he? What a racist! Everyone knows school is just for nerdy white kids.
I'd take it one step further. I'd recommend additional mandatory schooldays, on at least a half-dozen Saturdays a year, to be dedicated solely to the teaching of proper English grammar and basic math skills, for all school-age children in the city.
I guess I'm not as "progressive" as Councilor Porno-gate Turner there.
From the Boston Globe:
Schools won't close on Parks's anniversary
School Superintendent Thomas W. Payzant rejected a request to close Boston schools tomorrow, when black leaders and antiwar activists plan a rally honoring the anniversary of Rosa Parks's refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus 50 years ago.
Good.
Councilor Chuck Turner of Roxbury blasted the decision and said the move will leave the school system open to accusations of racism.
Not good (or surprising).
"To keep the schools open and penalize those who chose to commemorate such an historic occasion is going to expose the City and School Department to unnecessary ridicule and create a level of anger, confusion, and sadness that will cast a shadow over a celebration that should be a high point of the year," Turner wrote in the e-mail. "Unfortunately, your decision will also be characterized as racist, based on the definition of institutional racism -- disparate treatment of people of color."

"I believe that Rosa Parks was passionate about the importance of education and equal access to opportunity and that she would want children to be in school and not miss a day of learning to celebrate what she did," Payzant said in a letter to Turner.
