If you haven’t heard about the Bill Cosby controversary, you need to. Here is a link to the speech he gave in 2004. After reading at least some of his speech, what do you think?
He is saying that parents are not doing their job. Our country is in crisis because of this. He makes the comment that parents will pay $500 for shoes but not $250 for Hooked on Phonics. It has been said that he is talking directly to the African American community. What do you think about that? This is a place where you can be open and honest, but remember that it is a public blog. :0)
