Say What?

What comes to your mind when civil rights are mentioned?  I’d wager big, that it wouldn’t be reading, yet the 2004 Republican Party Platform, a link provided courtesy of www.democrats.org, states, that reading is the current civil right of choice.

"Our party believes, as does our President, that reading is the new civil right."

The new civil right, eh?  Sheesh.  After reading that, I thought I’d better check on what other civil rights are up and coming, so I Googled up the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to enlighten myself.  Some other up and coming “civil rights” issues.

Environmental Justice, Native American Health Care, and Standards Based Education Reform, to name a few.
