pdc: who gives a tinker's damn about Ej and his opinions? They are his, and he has a right to express them.

Carol C: I was basing my remarks on he fact that Kim posted a message that inferred that there was to be a black student's Prom. I don't think she can be faulted for that. It obviously was her understanding of the event.

I'd guess, with no knowlege other than a hunch, that the decision to have an all white Prom, Nicole, was at the urging of some parents, not the kids. Predjudice is learned, not inherent. Seems to me ...no, no, musn't make this a music thread ...oh I can't help it ...I've already gone down the path ...Rogers and Hammerstein drove that home in "South Pacific."
