Shame on Fox 2 gatekeepers for airing racist comments. To have them on the internet is understandable, however it is another thing to have to explain to small children why somone would refer to black people as a moral animals. We have to block our children from looking at garbage on tv constantly. Who would have thought I would have to shield her from comments made on the morning news. Thanks Alot:)
Channel Five seems to be more mature and responsible in their report practices...gatekeepers change the channel and take some notes. I am going to take a break from 2 for a while. I will see you later maybe I will return when you put my favorite personality , Tim Ezell on the news desk. PEACE

Indeed, this horrible
atrocity has occurred in our beloved community. Let us not succumb to the tension
that this occurrence has caused and break the ties of unity, of friendship, of
love, and of a sound-judgment. I was mortified when I sat down to watch Fox 2
this morning and listen while Shawn Lindsey read a racist blog on air. I had my
15-month daughter in my arms and my heart dropped. Is this the community where
I am going to be raising my child. Who would stereo-type a race of people
because of the insensitive remarks of a
few black people. The comment said that
maybe black people should be viewed as amoral animals. If that be the case an “amoral
animal” changed the face of history by rallying for civil rights and speaking
out about non-violence. To the individual
that made that racist blog…I will pray for you because it is obvious that you
have no FAITH or education. I say this as I turn the other cheek and offer you
the other to cheek to slap if you will

In regards to the letter distributed by the intermediate school in Wentzville...am quite offended!
I don't feel why it was necessary to single out a African-American students and students that recieved free lunch. This storyhas encouraged me to contact the MO Department of Eduction to determine if the wording of this letter was appropriate. I truly feel that the leadership in the school and the school district has failed the student, the parents, and the community.
As educators and leaders they should be setting an example and what kind of message are they sending in that letter?
The wording of the letter should have been selected more carefully! Their actions clearly show
- that the gatekeepers of the Wentzville don't care how the wording would affect the students.
_ They are making a statement about the students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
I feel this letter opens opportunities for these students to be ridiculed by their classmates and I think it will also cause division among students and the school community.
The PR rep in the package said that they had to create this letter by federal or state law...if so why is this the first case that has arisen?
