Lesson Learned: Don’t have your elementary school students put on a skit that makes fun of poor local minorities.

It doesn't mean you can say anything you like and not get in trouble for it. Just to clarify. And don't get too wound up jack. If you got to pick, WASP-Male is still the best choice for the US.

I still want to know if Mrs. Brannick has heard about this and has any comments.; 17/4/06 07:03
Jack T Briggs said...: I know, I know. Doesn't mean I can't bitch about it! (See Garble's comments on the First Amendment.); 17/4/06 07:50
Jim Brannick said...: Mrs. B doesn't work at that school, and she hasn't mentioned hearing about this particular story- I'm going to forward it to her though.

I haven't seen the video, but I'm willing to bet that it wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Sounds like some people down here should enroll in the Spoonhouse's "Desensitivity Training" course.; 17/4/06 08:04
Simon Hawk said...: Jim,
you should post a Course Description; 17/4/06 08:21
Jim Brannick said...: HA! That'd be hilarious! I'd be willing to teach the Introductory (200-level) course... just as long as you and Jack could teach the advanced (400-level) course.
Cohort could T.A.
I'm not sure exactly how the course would be laid out, but I'm certain the first 30 minutes of Full Metal Jacket would be played during the first class session.; 17/4/06 08:36
