On the Today show, one of several television programs that suddenly took an interest in him, Burris was asked about the role that race may or may not have played in his selection. He tried to finesse the question but then shared this insight:Beautiful.
“That’s a fact: There are no African-Americans in the United States Senate…. Is it racism that is taking place? That’s a question that someone else may raise.”
Yep. “Someone” may. These here racists, it turns out, are even sneakier than we had thought. There used to be a black guy in the Senate, duly elected; but they figured out how to get rid of him. They got him to run for President and win.
I believe that mathematics should be taught, not collaboratively explored; algebra and geometry are better than a vague course of Integrated Math; spiraling doesn't work nearly as well as learning it properly the first time; "I don't DO math" should be an incentive rather than an excuse. "I don't DO English" should be treated the same way.
