On C-SPAN McCain says, “One aspect of the (Vietnam) conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”
A Mississippi school district will resume teaching "To Kill A Mockingbird" after the book was pulled from a junior high reading list.
The Sun Herald reports that Biloxi School District administrators removed the novel from the eighth-grade curriculum earlier this month after the district received complaints that some of the book's language "makes people uncomfortable."
School officials said they'll begin teaching it again in class starting Monday. Students, however, have to ask to participate and return a permission slip signed by a parent.
The school district had become the focus of a national public outcry when it pulled the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, which deals with racial inequality in a small Alabama town.
It's supposed to make people uncomfortable, that's the idea. Damn crybabies.
