Inviting minority students to separate “members only” meetings seems a fitting and proper action given this specific problem. It was a good-faith, common sense approach that yielded the desired result.

But once you start discriminating based on race, however honorable (or practical) your motive…well, before you know it, the worst-case scenario is reality; or so says the law of the slippery slope.

I rest easy in the knowledge that my Grand Dad’s 12-guage is safe from confiscation and meltdown. And in the deft hands of this particular educator, I’m comfortable with her method used to quell racial tension and maintain a safe learning environment for ALL the students at this middle school.

But I’m just one nimrod with an opinion. As are the “victimized” parents, the ACLU and your gun enthusiasts.

Is this a great country or what?
