Hot Talk.
The biggest story of the week is the heroic rescue of three kidnapped women in Cleveland, who were held captive for a decade. A video of their rescuer, Charles Ramsey, has gone viral.
Many people find these types of videos hilarious, but a blogger on Slate.com says they, “play into the most basic stereotyping of blacks as simple-minded ramblers living in the “ghetto,” socially out of step with the rest of educated America.”
Then, students at a North Carolina High School were told they could be photographed for their yearbook picture with a prop of their choice that represented them and helped them achieve something.
Caitlin Tiller brought her 3-month-old son and the school refused to include the photo because it promotes teen pregnancy.
