Richard Riordan is an overwhelming jagoff. Just like most idiotic state-level political appointments, he is utterly unqualified to serve as the Secretary of Education in this state. He only got the job because Arnold needed to appease the California Republican party. I hope Riordan gets fired and ends up running a dry-cleaning store in Ventura.
BTW, NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, therefore it makes a little sense for them to drop the protest. However, I agree they never should have made a statement like "Would he have done that to a white girl?"
