seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002927599_bcc13e.html"In an e-mail to students, faculty and staff, Floten said she took 'personal ownership that this act of institutional racism could happen despite a collegewide initiative pursued over many years to establish a safe and tolerant place for all to learn.'" There may now be no math questions involving the following: a) Jews and bagels b) Italians and pie charts c) Hispanics and tamales d) WASPs and mushy, tasteless potato salad. I hope Jean Floten never sees the "Ribs" sleep-aid sketch from Chappelle's Show.

Or the racial draft:
"Goodbye Fried Rice! Hello, Fried Chicken!"
Then again, the question was a bit odd.

That this happened at Bellevue probably means there will be significant less backlash than if it happened at one of the schools in Seattle proper. My question would be why did someone think Condoleezza fit better into the question than Gallagher? Too dated of a reference?
But then again, this is also a state where a 10th-grade standardized test featured a geography question that asked students to assemble four imaginary cities in order from east to west. The correct answer was Mayri, Clay, Lee, Turno (Mary Kay Letourneau). That was a fun story.

The fact that you could come up with the Gallagher reference given how old you are probably says something about you...although I'm not sure whether good or bad (I've had Rick Astley references in my recaps before, so there that is). 2. On the Mary Kay Letourneau thing: What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate a whole wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad, that's amazing. 3. Greatest inside joke signature line EVER!!

I fully expect Hoya Blue to make good use of this fact next season. And I mean GOOD use (read: watermelon-smashings for everyone).
