Makes you wonder if The Reading Eagle would have ran this story if you were a Democrat?
You should see the comments I have had to reject from my site after I announced my support for you while these Democrat Party Hacks try to Bork you out of the school board. Let me know if you still have my e-mail, because I'm willing to trade rejected kook comments with you. If yours are as loony as mine, then I sure it will be entertaining.
As for the Dominican Independence day incident, take it from somebody that has had to go there on business several times. If you have seen their independence day events they hold in their country the term animals would come to mind, because they actually riot, and I mean riot as in firing guns in the air, smashing cars, kicking people around them to a bloody pulp, etc. The Reading School District should consider themselves lucky that the incident did not get to that point.
Another thing that is common in The Dominican Republic is scheduled plant riots. Yes unlike unions in our country that have strikes, with the Dominicans they schedule plant riots 2 to 3 times a year in order for them to blow off steam and prevent unexpected riots. Now with their plant riots they can go in their place of employment and smash up as much as they want. Their government actually gave my employer a check to cover the full amount of damage that was caused which amounted to a little over 10K in U.S. Dollars. Their government does that for everybody.
Bottom line is the school riot was not an issue of race, but an issue of culture. I mean if Reading School District took this approach with another culture like Arab, you might have to scrape the blood and guts of women off the floor from being beaten to death for showing skin. Again it's not race it's an issue of culture which is why I'm sure Reading School district does not embrace Arab customs, because of the potential danger it could have on the student body.
If the rest of the school board members were as well educated as you are, they would have at least researched the foreign culture in question before adopting it with the school for the safety and well being of the student body.
I know it's not politically correct, but that's just the real world.
