As an old white person, I am appalled, disgusted, and revolted by both the racist attacks on the mural and the principal's decision. I am appalled that any elected official anywhere in the country is a racist, and more appalled that, being one, he encourages others to racism. I guess elected officials in Arizona don't have to take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States--or, if they do, simply never read the founding documents of this country. I am appalled that such a person has a talk radio show. I am appalled that the children in that school are surrounded by adults with so little compassion for children that even their principal--the person who ought to spearhead the school's attempt to serve the children--is siding with the racists and trying to wipe out the record of those children's existence in his school.
Here are some Clues for the Clueless:
If you're a racist, you're not a Christian. (Read the Bible. Read the Gospels and Acts in particular. You will not find "And God said, Let there be White People and let them be better than anyone else and run everything and have all the goodies" anywhere in there.)
If you're a racist, you're not a patriot. (Read the Declaration of Independence AND the Constitution, every word.) Consider that "treason" is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and by blackening the reputation of this country, you are, in fact, giving aid and comfort to its enemies--as well as directly harming millions of its citizens. Including other white ones, who get blamed for your idiocies.
