So here we are, entering a new era. We anticipate good things, hoping for equality, justice, maybe even the American way.

As I watched the inauguration of President Obama here at White Station Middle School, I was so disappointed to hear a teacher cry out as he finished the oath of office, " No more Bush!" This was met with thunderous applause from the students, all of whom seem to already be staunch Democrats at the ages of 11 to 14, roughly.

How have we started a new era of tolerance if this is the gut reaction of a Teacher in front of an entire assembly full of students?
