My rants for the day: School Committee's (sic)

The other night on the news, I saw a segment that posed the question "Should all Massachusetts high school mascots be unrelated to the Native Americans?"  Here's what I noticed about it.  The panel on the school committee had zero native american members on it.  WHAT?!  Yeah, zero.  Some sit at home, nothing to do but bitch, soccer mom/dad comes in and realizes that the "Redmen" isn't just a group of guys with sunburns.  And then decides for the Indians that, they (the indians) don't want that name used because it's offensive.  Albeit, sure, they could be, but who are they to decide.  But that's helped me decide what my course should be for the rest of my life.  I'm going to join a school committee board, and then I'm going to tell the board that the fact that the teachers use WHITE chalk on BLACK boards is offensive to black people.  And I should know, I'm a middle class white guy.

In summation, I hate everyone today.

That'll be all.
