Trey Garrison Hates Diversity

Our esteemed contributing editor has himself an op-ed column in today’s paper. Fiery stuff. I’m a little late in getting to it, as I just returned from vacation, and my first day back in the office was consumed by gloating over the 20 bucks I won from Eric (thanks, Alison Draper!). In any case, I won’t say that I don’t get Trey’s deployment of the phrase “Potemkin village” in describing the Dallas ISD, and I’ll resist the urge to call Trey’s bluff that he’s been hanging out with his neighbors (“Some of my new neighbors in Plano include people from Thailand, Armenia, India, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Colombia and the Ukraine …”). Instead, I’ll just say this: wow. On a day when the paper’s parent company announces huge layoffs, the DMN publishes something it too seldom does: a snarky celebration of ignorance. If they did this more often, maybe things down at the paper wouldn’t be so grim.
