Even after all this time, nothing entirely interesting going on right now save for the comments of my crazy homeroom teacher. My homeroom teacher, who I will have all four years of high school, is a conservative man in his 60's of German descent. This week is diversity week and during the mornings and afternoons my school plays music from different cultures on the TV (we have an amateur TV broadcast thing instead of an intercom system or whatever it is). He was joking that they should play Nazi music, and after hearing about a contest for "most authentic native dress" he said he would win if he brought his Nazi armband. I guess he had forgotten there was a Jewish girl in his homeroom...
And because it's diversity week, we had an assembly on Monday. In assembly they played a 20 minute video about the civil rights movement (the theme for this year's diversity week is fighting racism by the way) and then two bishops spoke. After the bishops were done talking, they asked if anyone had any questions. A senior girl stood up and asked "what did the Catholic church think of segregation?" That alone was obnoxious considering her question had already been answered in the video and was really not that hard to guess the answer too anyway, but that was not the end of the very insightful questions my peers had. Two more senior girls then asked, in different wording, the same question. Apparently people in my school need to ask a question not once, but three times before they can fully comprehend the answer.
