When I taught preschool and made framed eggs with the kids as a cooking/science project, the snack was a big hit. It is easy enough for kids to help make this dish as long as they don't get too close to the heat...

Here we are in the summer of 2015, many years past slavery, past African Americans attaining the right to vote, past forced "back of the bus" seating and water fountains for "whites" only, yet… what do the headlines read?

Because as a boy this man heard hate messages about the blacks from his father, who also bought him a gun for his 21st birthday. Why? Because this young m...
