Thinkin', when the whole world would rather burn

A sign of just how far we've gone off the rails.



"'It was not my intention for anyone to be threatened but they do and I have to take responsibility and I do,' said embattled teacher Catherine Ariemma.

The Dahlonega history appeared on Good Day Xtra Tuesday morning to address a controversial incident that has placed her at the center of a media firestorm.

Ariemma was placed on administrative leave after allowing for students to wear mock Ku Klux Klan outfits as part of a high school history class project. Ariemma says the costumed students were taking part in a reenactment about the history of racism. Some black students in the lunchroom became upset when they saw the students walking through the cafeteria in the outfits.

Ariemma says she was escorting the students [sic] wearing sheets and didn't realize lunch was in session.

'That was the mistake, in that there were a lot of students in there who were not going to hear that this was a class project, so they saw something and took it out of context, and of course they had no way of knowing-- they had no way of knowing,' said Ariemma."

The person being villified, here, is the one person talking any real sense.

Why?

Because she's thinking. When the whole world is reacting. Constantly.

And confusing it with making any damn sense, at all.
