MD Governor Determines Individual's Worth By Physical Characteristics

Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley held a “Governor For The Day Essay Contest”.

The purpose of the competition was aimed at encouraging young women between the ages of 8-12 to pursue careers in public service in honor of International Women’s Day.

Would the state sponsor such a celebration targeting young men?

Could such an initiative calling for Whites only have been announced without riots breaking out in the street?

On what grounds now do we have to be sympathetic should the Maryland governor drone on about the days of “Irish Need Not Apply” when he auditions to be Obama’s replacement in the next election?

Given that the opportunities of ALL children will likely be restricted and curtailed in the future by an increasingly intrusive government, why shouldn’t all students be allowed to participate irrespective of how the shudders are painted or the plumbing hooked up?
