i am giving a prom party for the 2 dhs students who did the indepedent study here last semester, as well as for the daughter of one of my servers. there will be about 18 in the group, including friends and dates. yesterday the mother of one got in my face and asked me if i knew that her daughter's date was black. i knew because she told me, and had to admit such. this mother was embarassed that she was so upset about the race thing- and upset seemingly because i did not pick up the phone to tell her. i didn't tell her because it was of no concern to me- the race thing- she should be more worried that this boy is 22 or so - but i din't go into that because she was so upset. i am not sure what she wanted me to say or do about it. these are nice girls- and i told them they could invite their friends- end of story. i cannot wait until all of this end-of-year stuff is over.......
