Re: Tape eraser changed color on TV- HELP

Oh, I saw that. Didn't know that was Florida. I got the same feeling,
almost like the teacher was wanting to see how far the girl would go, no
direction given at all. The child is evidently an angry child, but with
some direction the frustration might have been directed. I would like to
have heard what the teacher was saying to her as well. Had she not been
black, I'm curious as to whether they would have handcuffed her? I just
think in Florida they're a little too quick to treat minorities that way and
write them off! But that is JUST my opinion, having previously lived there
albeit many years ago.
