| "The politics of my graduation is quite simple: I am among the few in this world that has had the chance to go higher and higher, and until all have that same right education will remain a privileged power." 1 Comment  "The only Ten Commandments that should be displayed in Narrows High School are those we call the First Ten Amendments to the Bill of Rights...Chiseled into the stone of our foundation, handed down by our forebears, this First Amendment keeps us thriving, even in the face of overwhelming irony."  "The General Assembly of North Carolina has become intoxicated and maligned with such bigotry and hate that they are willing to limit the rights of heterosexuals. It's time to take a stand against this show of vitriolic demonization of our common humanity."
 "May we think with our hearts in our minds, and see that all people deserve and must receive a live-giving education."
 "Fear plays upon the human psyche deterring it from embracing and discovering how the “other” can enhance humanity."
 "If you haven’t heard yet, on Wednesday Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich promised that “by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon, and it will be American.” And, yes, he said second term."

 "It’s over. You made a run, and you failed. Just remember, “Shoot for the moon; and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.” I hear the stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas. If that’s the case then it sounds like you’ll be just fine."
 "The "squeaky wheel" we call the GOP signals more than an out of date, rusted, crusted, and old way of "doing things." Then again, when white privilege is sought to be protected, the old way of doing things are the "right" way of doing things."
