You are so right. Alabama made a major error including someone who can give youngsters in the 6th grade someone to emulate. Someone with a teenage mother who went to Columbia and Harvard Law school where he served as President of the Harvard law review. He is now the candidate for the highest office in the USA.
Rather, they should include pictures of Run DMC, 2 Pac, LL Cool J, and Snoop Dog. They are rap artists who have achieved success with Gold records, Platinum albums, big Mercedes, and big gold chains.
According to the 2006 Smart School rankings, Alabama is 45 followed by Alaska at 46 and Arizona dead last at 50. Your may not like Obama's politics and I accept that. But to suggest that being a candidate for President does not entitle one to be included in a 6th grade book is pathetic. Wouldn't it be nice if his story, win or lose, gave some kids the feeling that they too could someday achieve success in life other than becoming a rap singer, athlete, or drug dealer???????
