School was okay today. It sort of sucked because I had a lot of stuff to deal with after being absent yesterday. That was tough and time consuming. There were a lot of new student teachers which sort of annoyed me. The teachers that have student teachers at the moment are the slightly lazy ones that don't want to teach themselves.
When I got home I read an article that made me really, really, really mad. It was another article about Muslim people that are better citizens of this country than most getting thrown off a plane for making other passengers nervous. This man was just wearing a shirt that in Arabic said, "We will not be silent". I think that is an awesome shirt and wish I had one (even though I'm not Middle Eastern). The quote in this article that disturbs me the most is this one, "He was told the other passengers felt uncomfortable because an Arabic-inscribed T-shirt in an airport is like "wearing a T-shirt at a bank stating, I am a robber,"the ACLU said.". So the airport was telling him basically that it is a crime to be Middle Eastern in an airport. Things like this only get worse. It just brings you back to McCain's family man crap.
These things are so annoying. There is enough trouble in the world. Why take out anger on people who have never done anything except share the same ethnicity as some insane people? People from every race have done bad things. A whole group of people should not be punished for a few peoples actions. Stereotyping is never progressive or helpful. Why can't be all just get along. Everyone doesn't have to be all lovey dovey but they should not have such displays of hate.
Well, I'm a little tired now. Frustration does that to a person. Well, life is tough. Everyone must keep fighting for justice though. Every person helps. Whether its telling someone bigoted against a group or posting on a blog to try to make people understand I encourage everyone to help.

Stuff like this is so stupid. You know how the people who crashed the plane in 911 were like two from Michigan and random places in the USA? Yet we don't take the blame... >.> But if you get that shirt... get me one! And great post ^^.
