May I ask *what* in the world is wrong with saying something positive
about females, Russians, Native Americans, kids with abusive or strict
parents, Blacks, or Spanish people?  Am I being humor-impaired or overly
sensitive?

We demonize "Goals 2000" because it (allegedly) teaches kids to say bad
things about cops and white males, then we turn right around and mock
school teachers, many of whom are very fine Apostolics and who have a
tough enough job as it is without us fine Christian folk making fun of
them.

Can someone explain to me why this is not hypocrisy?
