DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT BLACK STUFF

And today's etiquette flag goes to Angelicque Blackmon, principal of Howard University Charter School, http://www.wjla.com/articles/2015/01/howard-u-middle-school-parents-say-principal-fired-social-studies-instructors-for-teaching-black-his.html.  I usually reserve two flags for the worst offenders, but for Ms. Blackmon I have decided to be liberal.   It is alleged that Ms. Blackmon has fired several teachers from the middle school she runs for teaching Black History.  How funny that a woman named Blackmon doesn't want anyone to teach about being black.  I digress.  Flag one comes for the rejection of loving your heritage and denying the next generation the opportunity to learn about their legacy.  The second, if true borders on cruelty.  Ms. Blackmon alleged fired the teachers, 4 in all according to reports who had been teaching about black history.  It's shameful enough to fire workers for that reason, but to then have them escorted out by police in front of children, well -  I have never! If these reports are true, Angelicque has some "splannin" to do!  Keep it Urban Classy - Lady T
