And, of course, it doesn't sound like any kind of a problem to me, either. Though most of my elementary and junior high days were spent in a pretty diverse community and so our classes were pretty diverse. Of course, at that age, I didn't know that this was an issue, my parents and grandmother never said anything nor did the teachers.

But times have sure changed, we've never had a blatant bigot in the Oval Office before - especially one who believes it's his business to control schools and colleges regarding what they can teach. I know that my college taught African American courses since I can remember sitting with a professor and his wife in the cafeteria during African American food night - and they were really nice, we had a good conversation. I sure hope that nothing has changed at my school - but then it's here in New York. *sigh*
