I’m sitting here watching the Guilford County Board of Education discuss President Obama’s speech to the nation’s school children. A pretty reasonable, respectful debate, except for Deena Hayes, who says that racist ideology fueled the uproar over the speech.
My source inside Irving Park Elementary told me he was bored after about 10 minutes. I’m surprised he hung in that long.
Update: N&R headline:
Study hard, wash your hands
Geez, you know how many times I say that every day?
