Yep... It it time for the "Name Police"... That will solve all of the world's problem... You know, I've never seen a John act out... or a Michael act out... No they have proper names... Next, up we'll introduce you to the new food pyramid courtesy of the the "Food Police."

Sarcasm off...

That's not my point, or my argument. Kids of all kinds can be behavior problems. This girl Ja'eisha, is not a problem because of her name. The problems with her name will come from the "outside." When she graduates from college with a degree in Business and wants to work for IBM, and submits her resume, will it be viewed as objectively as it would have been if her name were Regina, Elizabeth, etc.? I just don't think it will. She may succeed, and I hope that she does, but it will be DESPITE her name, not because of it.
