WHooaaa!  -----  PC Queen!!!-------ALL I hear TOTALLY PC!!!---Get a 
grip------ Angie was spoofing! --- My Psychology background says ---
--your;"Projecting"-----
-- My common sense  says, "you got an ax to gring for some reason".
--  Why did you bring up Race?-----------Horses aren't a race--duh! ah yeah, 
they do race! Ah, but some just go for completions.---Oh, ah ...off 
trail....;0)
---Talk about Elitest!!! ----------
---You are exactly the kind of Educator I didn't/wouldn't want  near my 
kids----partly why I Homeschooled, I prefer My own  craziness , thank you 
very much!
--- And from my Christian (tolerance of everything is not the ultimate 
virtue !), Forgiveness and keeping short accounts would make your struggles 
in life alot  easier!
----Finally---this kind of attitude will help you   find enemies everywhere! 
Especially if you make sending Hate mail a practice--Matter Of fact I 
gurantee it!

 GEEZ LOUISE!
