A swim club in Pennsylvania is accused of discriminating against a group of minority children. The swim club denies it saying that their membership is racially diverse and saying that they simply did not have enough capacity. But members of the swim club were heard, by the children, saying racial comments. The NAACP and the Human Relations Commission will investigate to see whether or not racial discrimination occurred.

Seriously, how is this news? There has been absolutely no confirmation of whether the swim club discriminated against the kids or not. The racist comments came from members of the club, not from the swim club personnel. Even Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, Republican turned Democrat, said this was disturbing, but nothing has been confirmed except that the kids heard racist comments. Kids should not be subjected to racism, but I am certain that this sort of thing happens everywhere on Earth. It is parents’ duty to prepare children for intolerance in the world. What this does show is that racism will not be tolerated, so in a sense, the non-newsworthiness of this story is somewhat of a good thing… but the president is multiracial, I think that racial tolerance is a national creed already… so… before people get all crazy, investigate first.
