Not only are law enforcement agencies, both private and public, discriminating against blacks and hispanics; not they are restricting caucasians from doing things too. Military father Lt. Col. Sherwood Baker was denied access to his daughter's school the other day when he went to visit her. Security for the school instructed him to leave as him being in uniform might offend some of the other students. The family, school, and community were outraged by this and have now taken measures to ensure this does happen again.
While the security team for the school handled this situation very poorly, the school and school system have done a lot to fix their wrongs. The superintendent being a marine himself has openly stated that what happened was wrong and the school itself does not express the same views as the security team. While bothered by the whole issue the family has accepted the apology and has agreed to meet with the principle to settle everything once and for all.
It shames me that even the men who have served our country diligently and put their lives on the line for American freedom are under attack back home. It makes me wonder who's next? Grandma and Grandpa won't be allowed in movies because they're too old? No matter how you put it discrimination is a giant problem in America, it always has been and now it's evolving. It's changing and not for the better; it makes me question if this is truly a great country or if it's all a facade.
