"It means stupid, dirty girl." ? California Education Secretary Richard Riordan, when asked by a little girl if he knew that her first name, Isis, meant "Egyptian goddess."
"No one ever accused Richard Riordan of being a prisoner to political correctness, but the feisty former mayor of Los Angeles and now the state's education secretary may have outdone himself last week when he called a youngster at a book event a "stupid, dirty girl."........"
read the rest, if you can stomach it.
Demand this guy step down now!
Californians with kids - it could have been your child he said this to!
-Disgusted and appalled parent of a 5 year old whose name means "dream", and so help me if he'd said that to HER he'd have shortly thereafter found himself on the wrong end of my fist. I'm not sorry, saying something like that to a child is just VILE. "Misunderstanding", my pale white behind. And we all know it wasn't a Caucasian child he said this to either. Sick bastard.
