I support RuPaul! and ramblings on Black History Month

First off, if the local minority community leaders of LA really cared about Black history they'd make some clear straightforward guidelines for elementary school and high school teachers to follow. Secondly, RuPaul is a role model. In school I really wasn't all that fond of Black History Month because it was mostly either about Slavery, George Washington Carver, or MLK. The entire social studies curriculum in most schools is designed to promote a "America is the best country in the world" propaganda and so I think these community leaders' beef should be with the process of who gets to decide what goes in the textbook, instead of self-righteous indignation over teachers who don't teach according to their particular views.




Ooohhh notice how they called RuPaul a "flamboyant crossdresser" as if that is a bad thing. There are tons of entertainers who could be considered flamboyant, Mick Jagger, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, etc. Also, how is cross dressing such a bad thing? I can tell I live in a nation with a lot of idiots when the newsflash to be shocked about is that someone cross dresses. On to the more important stories please...
