I don’t know about your local school systems, but the ones in my area are a fairly big mess. I am lucky to live outside Davidson County, where the biggest mess is, but ours aren’t in the best of shape either.

That’s why it’s so great to see one educator that’s really on the ball. Working with tireless energy, he’s causing change within his own school. Many of my family members are educators, and I know they would love to have a principal like this at the helm. There are so many teachers and principals that care so much, but are tired because the system itself is broken. They should look to this man as a good example of what they should be doing.

This is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day:

From the “they seriously said THAT?!” files- a private swim club kicked campers out from their club because, and I quote, “There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club.” I can tell you right now, being black isn’t “catching.” America can elect a black president, but we certainly can’t swim together?

I actually had to check the date on this article to make sure that it didn’t come from some really old archived article. It didn’t. Change is coming to America, and we’re getting better as a whole, but will *some things* never change? That kind of prejudice directed at children really burns me.
