RNC Chair, Michael Steele and other prominent Republican leaders have called upon Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), to resign for remarks he made during the 2008 Presidential Election in which he stated that the country was ready to embrace the candidacy of Barack Obama because he was “light skinned” and had “no negro dialect unless he wants one.”  Senator Reid expressed regret for his “poor choice of words” and issued an apology for his “improper comments.” President Obama accepted his apology and considers the matter closed.

Next Tuesday, September 8 President Obama will be speaking to students at an Arlington County, Virginia high school with hopes that the back-to-school speech will be viewed by students across the nation. Supporters of the speech and its educational value are able to visit the U.S. Department of Education website for classroom activities while opponents believe that watching the speech in classrooms is indoctrination.
