Furthermore, his past history makes him a prime candidate for inspirational showcases within history books in the same mold as George Washington Carver or any of those other “inspirational leaders” they showcase in our history books.

What is YOUR objection to this? Before you make your objection, let me straighten you out on one rule in the 21st century. If you are a white male, I’m truely sorry, but this decade is not the era of including the white male alongside all other new additions to the historical halls of fame. Since the white male has been “in control” for so long, now is time for the white male to stand back and let others take the spotlight – because that is how the PC-world way works – we ALL take our turns!!

Last I checked though, Nature Doesn’t “Take turns.” It’s all about opportunity, strategy, and LUCK! This will pass.

I find it interesting, though that one argument against including these particular books is that the kids are being put up to this as puppets.

From the Washington Post article:

“Focus on the Family selected and supplied the books. The teenagers assembled yesterday did not say they had read any of them.”

Now, some of you will argue semantics and claim that the wording also doesn’t say that they hadn’t read them.

But it seems to me that if the kids are going to push for adding the books to the library’s collection, they ought to read ’em or step aside and let the adults argue about it.

Anyone complaining about bias now?

Not that lots of bars have it here in San Antonio, but it’s the best gin I’ve ever had. (I usually have to settle for Bombay Sapphire …)

The Annoyed Librarian is a persona, this is satire. Get over it. I am very much over the ‘ooh you are anonymous’ thing now. There is no Annoyed Librarian.
