Beyond that, I have no clue why the feds should be paying for anything national security related out in the boonies. Maybe because when Homeland Security says Red Alert etc. every freaking police station in the country has to obey?

Seattle Public Schools blinks vis-a-vis the disputed definition of racism. >>Equity and Race Relations In response to the numerous concerns voiced regarding definitions posted on the Equity & Race website, we have decided to revise our website in a way that will hopefully provide more context to readers around the work that Seattle Public Schools is doing to address institutional racism. The intended purpose of our work in the area of race and social justice is to bring communities together through open dialogue and honest reflection around what is meant by racism and the impact is has on our society and more specifically, our students. Our intention is not to put up additional barriers or develop an “us against them” mindset, nor is it to continue to hold onto unsuccessful concepts such as a melting pot or colorblind mentality. It is our hope that we can explore the work of leading scholars in the areas of race and social justice issues to help us understand the dynamics and realities of how racism permeate throughout our society and use their knowledge to help us create meaningful change. This difficult work is vital to the success of our students and families. Thank you for sharing your concerns. Warm regards, Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D.
