She simply said that she and her gubernatorial running mate would provide opportunities for all Alaskans. There is no record that Palin has made any other public statements on diversity and minority issues since then. This in itself might be cause for only a slight eyebrow raise. (Continue Reading…)

Daxx Dalton, a fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School in Aurora, Colo., wore the homemade shirt on a day when students were asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue, according to MyFOXColorado.com. When he was given the choice of turning the shirt inside out or being suspended, Dalton chose suspension. (Continue Reading…)

I hate how the media blows everything out of proportion.
Kind of on topic: you know what bugs me? When Palin supporters point out the fact that her husband is like, 1/8 Eskimo to support her “commitment to diversity”. 1/8? I’m probably about 1/8 white, have an Irish name, and used to love me some “Lord of the Dance” when they showed it on PBS. If he can call himself Eskimo, I guess it’s socially exceptable to claim my my whiteness…riiiight *rolls eyes*. I don’t know maybe I’m missing something…
