Museum L-ers, Let me first appologize to Mr. Cogswell - I was responding to the insensitive words of a Mr. Michael Hering. Second, I would like to respond to Mr. Strzyzewski's statement that I should "leave your social consciousness at home and get off your high horse". My understanding and abhorrence of inappropriate, racist remarks is not something that I keep neatly tucked away in a box on a shelf. It is my responsibility as an educator and citizen to speak up when hurtful remarks or actions are made. I would hate to imagine what the world would be like if everyone left their "social consciousness at home". I am firmly grounded atop my soap box Mr. Strzyzewski and I'm not going anywhere!!!
