If You’re Not The Lead Dog, The View Never Changes
My daughter was instrumental in forming an administration-approved Diversity Group at her school; no easy task considering she lives in Dixie’s Bible Belt where diversity is a dirty word. Her group promotes knowledge, awareness and tolerance for individuals with different ideas and lifestyles. I’m proud of everything she does, but this commitment is special.
Starting an organization to promote acceptance and kindness is absurd; we aren’t born mean-spirited, closed-minded and rigid. The Diversity Group should count the entire student body as members, but it doesn’t. Some student sheepeople are listening to their parents listening to Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh.
