When asked what she said, she said it again. Come on, this is getting ridiculous Poor little kid got his feelings hurt. Guess we'll have to take down zither statute to make him feel. I have never thought that saying as being racist . Everything and anything is now racist , my guess is the kid , his mother , and granny are racists as well. What’s next? Whippersnapper? Cockamamie? Cruisin for a Bruisin? Word from Bird? Soft man kids are soft.

Christian revival at high school prompts student walkout in West VirginiaStudents in a West Virginia high school hosted a walkout in response to a school assembly where they were told to give their lives over to Jesus, or that they would go to hell, a student says. Truth hurts Good for him. Happened to me in Dallas. Anyone who was late to class without a note had to go to 'Grounded At School' where you were held captive in a room with a teacher literally preaching at you that you were going to hell.
