Sorry. I didn’t scroll down far enough before posting my question. But I rest my case, anyhow!
If the teacher was white and the girl was black that's exactly what would have happened....does anyone doubt it?
i guessed the race of the teacher correctly too. this is another, albeit many, results of affirmative action. promoting unqualified individuals for any reason dimineshed the accomplishments of those who really are qualified. and it makes me make assumptions about the race of people regarding their actions and words i would not have done 30 years ago. ifortunately, i am correct most of the time and that bothers me.
