Sen. Mark Norris R-Collierville, TN and His Segregation Policy
February 14, 2011
I’m sure that if Dr. King was alive today, he would certainly join us in this anti-segregation campaign. Segregated schools are wrong even if it happens for a second or years. Sen.

Pledging is a wonderful common practice however, as to many blacks it represents a kick in the rump, a spit in the face, and a violent and vicious rape. Never the less, I must admit that I do pledge allegiance to the flag of America. As I have grown in wisdom and understanding, I acknowledge […]
