[Fabs] I just need to vent.

[Kathy Roskos]

Hi Paul,

     Thanks for responding to my rant. Sometimes it is better to get mad 
than to just break down in tears. I love your solution. Thanks for making me 
laugh!

     I will do everything I can to make sure this teacher feels as much 
backlash as possible for her discrimination. You wouldn't think a psychology 
professor who teaches about the problem of prejudice and discrimination, 
would indulge in it herself. Makes me wonder how people like that get as far 
as they do in life.

Thanks again.

Kathy
