Racism on the High Plains

Four of the six school board members were verbally supportive, and two were stonefaced. One woman in the audience gave a stirring speech in support of racism. I wanted her to talk on and on, because she made our point so well. (Then I wanted Colleen to invite the woman outside).

Now comes the work. The board chairman invited us to help write policy, since heretofore they have had no policy as to what should be done about racial discrimination. We will gladly do so. I was very proud of Colleen, who was there to protect our daughter, and did so very effectively.
