Former San Diego Mayor: Public Schools Are Anti-American, Teach 'Hatred of White People'

Roger Hedgecock is a syndicated right-wing talk show host based in San Diego. For years, he was a regular fill-in for Rush Limbaugh, and before that he was a Republican mayor of San Diego – briefly, that is. He was convicted of campaign finance violations and thrown out of office only two years into his first term.

Speaking on his program earlier this week, Hedgecock lamented that “hatred of white people has now become an epidemic in this country” and is even “informing political decisions that are made.” The cause? President Obama and white-hating public schools.

He is only talking about the California public school system.

Presumably he is cool with the one in Texas, for instance.

He was a BAD Mayor and is even worse on the radio. I'm forced to listen to his dribble every now and then when I right a shuttle for work. Luckily it is only a 5 minute ride. Don't think I could take listing for a longer period of time.
