To quote Jon Stewart: "I didn't even know this deck HAD a race card to be
played!"

Gosh, I just realized that some of our center's programs were designed by
me - and I'm a white American male! And all my students are Americans (a
fair percentage of them white). Crud, looks like I'm not doing anything
to make kids smarter human beings.
