Good morning! A small chance of p.m. showers with highs in the mid-60s. Rain likely again tomorrow. But the weekend looks dry! NewsCut blogger Bob Collins retires next week but he's not going quietly. "It’s 2019 and if high school students in Chaska are still dabbling in blackface, Chaska has some racist students," he writes today. That's right, racist. He wants people to start calling racist acts racist . He's criticizing the Star Tribune for referring to the incident as a "racially charged incident." So why is that a problem, you might ask? "One of the reasons we have racist children -- and educators -- is that our institutions are so reluctant to call racism what it is," writes Collins. | What's on MPR News? | Forecast |
