Subject: RE: BS: FoX News TKO's Obama..Shirley Sherrod Firing
What I don't get is why a secretary of anything would rush to get rid of a federal employee, and did not use extra caution in the case of a long-term minority employee. I don't understand why he didn't say privately we seem to have a problem here and ask for a collection of facts, review the speech himself or by a trusted deputy and if found to be problematic, ask for a review. It does not make sense..and her story of her father is truly tragic...and we need as many minorities in USDA as we can get and as many working in agriculture who really want to be doing that sort of work (as opposed to no other opportunities..and we need to redress some wrongs to African American farmers and probably others that she has pointed out. mg
