Yes. I get it. However, I think there is a grave difference between welcoming and catering to. I don't think it's kinkaid's job to cater to minorities nor is it kinkaid's job to cater to homosexuals ... Welcome? Yes. Protect from harassment? Yes. Cater to? Nope. <br /><br />We (collectively) all knew what "values" and "morals" were esteemed at Kinkaid before we filled out that application (and if we didn't our parents did or at least should have). A pep rally where guys dress like Episcopal cheerleaders is not harassment. <br /><br />I just don't understand this argument that this PRIVATE institution is supposed to reject the ideals that the people (who bankroll probably near 90% of the school's financial portfolio) hold dear. <br /><br />People get what they pay for; and these parents chose to pay for an education at an institution that they believe has values that align with theirs (regardless of how backwards and ignorant some may believe those values to be) and can provide their children with a super high quality education. <br /><br />I don't understand this argument anymore than a Christian attending a Catholic school being upset because they are made to go to mass. It's a CATHOLIC school. Well though Kinkaid is not officially religiously affiliated, it does have a religion: conservatism. We ALL know that going in.

So thanks to both of you for sharing your thoughts. I would like to see more open LGBT support and much more positive appreciation and understanding of racial diversity. Please these are musts, of course. Thank you for continuing to raise such important points.<br /><br />If I may add as well a thought on a part of the comment here-specifically the sentence that reads 'teachers may not teach from a specific political perspective'. As an alumna myself, I must acknowledge I am grateful for this rule. Kinkaid is not the right place for teachers to preach a political party's agenda. Both of today's 2 biggest parties have faults - let's be fair. Kinkaid's duty is a much more challenging one: instilling students with the wisdom and content knowledge (through history, literature, or otherwise) to make evaluations for themselves. 'Teaching politics' is simply a lower objective than teaching 'to think'. <br /><br />With sympathies for injustices suffered and hope for this dialogue to earn a wiser kind unity for our community, and with hope that we may all support each other in our learning, I send you both my best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648513860835630741.post-86502048829070384712011-02-17T19:00:28.745-06:002011-02-17T19:00:28.745-06:00Jimmie, this is a fine follow up to a sad story.

As long as people like you are willing to stand up and be heard, injustice cannot continue --- I just tried to write something that would suggest that strong people like you would someday be able to push Kinkaid back on the right path. But as I read your blog and thought about it, I'm not at all sure it was ever the place we thought it was. A lot of bullying went unnoticed by faculty and administration. And while we were able to teach from the liberal perspective before -- and get young people to think, analyze, challenge... That is now forbidden. Teachers may not teach from a specific political perspective. So, I admire your willingness to stand up for what you believe in, and this article has done a fine job of that. I think, however, it will be places other than your alma mater that will benefit from your intelligence, education, and character.raskew28https://www.blogger.com/profile/10723808078611109900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648513860835630741.post-82687057748556518062011-02-08T15:52:39.506-06:002011-02-08T15:52:39.506-06:00As the CEO of an independent (INDIE) music label I...As the CEO of an independent (INDIE) music label I see Nicki Minaj as a huge money maker. But as a lover of hip/hop and someone who has witnessed its growth, along with the rise and fall of female MC’s, I question where we’re going musically. The masses are saying hip hop is dead and I was hoping a female MC could emerge and save it. Being that Nicki Minaj went platinum you would think I would be jumping for joy but my feet are very grounded and my arms are tightly folded. <br /><br />I remember when Queen Latifah came out with “Ladies First” and all the women (generations) in my household were pumping their fist and singing along. Lauren Hill got the same reception in my home but oddly enough the men praised her lyrics just as high as her looks giving her a lot of respect in the rap game. I don’t see my 40 year old African American female co-workers raving about Nicki Minaj but will hear her name mentioned on the DC subway here and there via junior high boys. Male viewers only seem to comment on her rear-end which is how I learned about her for the first time. <br /><br />Lauren Hill and Queen Latifah made socialism, entertaining. They had a captive audience, resources and the power and used it to the fullest. They weren’t going to hold a mic and not say something of importance. Lil Kim and Foxy were groomed by male rappers who encourage them to speak on a sexual level. We all learned that gets old real quick. Even Jay Z went from “Big Pimpin” to “Crazy in Love.” I question why female rapper JEAN GRAE hasn’t received the spot light. <br /><br />Short-term Nicki is on top making millions, going platinum because the kids love her look; she’s this generations Lauren Hill. Long-term, if she doesn’t drop the auto-tune, let go of the flamboyant “Buster Rhyme” characteristics, and say something of importance I see her fame dying quickly. If your 12 years old Nicki is your type of female rapper. If you’re 30, JEAN GRAE is for you. If I had the choice I would sign JEAN GRAE. <br /><br />Jean Grae<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9gE4ybCp_cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648513860835630741.post-66591767539746974912011-02-04T15:36:19.499-06:002011-02-04T15:36:19.499-06:00I think Yemen will probably erupt next, but there ...I think Yemen will probably erupt next, but there is no way to tell for sure and I'd hate to be right about a situation of violence breaking out.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648513860835630741.post-47126665713045241582011-02-04T15:19:35.499-06:002011-02-04T15:19:35.499-06:00I'm not a great student of revolutions but it ...I'm not a great student of revolutions but it seems like so many end up replacing oppressive regimes with another variety of oppressive regimes.
