Condoleezza Says America Will Never Be ‘Race Blind’
And I completely agree. What’s funny is that she says this and was vilified for working under George Bush. Yet our current president who so many of us embrace fully without question acts as though it is. I still don’t get why so many people hate Condi. I always knew she was just doing her [...]

California Dream Act Approved
The California legislature agreed to approve the ‘Dream Act’ for the state. Undocumented students can now receive private scholarships to attend public colleges and universities within the state.
