I was told to pick a student who was under 15 years old, intelligent, articulate, good-looking, and NOT WHITE. The TV crews were miffed about the boy I sent, as he was white. However, once they heard him speak, they realized I'd made an excellent choice. <br />I chose the kid because he was the best for that particular job; I didn't freakin' CARE what color his skin was.<br />However, I thought it was very telling that my official instructions were to include a minority race for an issue about smoking, which obviously affects all races equally.The English Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982031308501442156noreply@blogger.com
