oh my AAAARRRGGGGHHHH the hyphenated race citizen thing really bugs me

and here is why. it lessens the citizen ship status of a person or indicates that a person prefers one country over another.

you are an American or you are not. very simple Aristotle said a thing either is or it is not.

I wish people would drop the hyphens they may think its politically correct but it really is not it is a political status of someone being lesser that an American I.E US citizen.

Edwardsville actually did a good thing. As a teenager I remember when a teacher told me something I challenged it. they said don't do it I would do it. In essence they made it so that I challenged the system. I thought for myself and I organized groups to challenge the system and question the how's and why's. And that's what the kiddos will do at that school.
