DeSoto principal's e-mail brings calls of racism

DeSOTO — An e-mail sent by a DeSoto middle school principal has stirred up concerns and calls for an investigation by the district.

The e-mail was sent March 8 from DeSoto West Middle School Principal Kevin Dixon to his staff.

It mentions Assistant Principal Audrey Barnes leading "everyone in a 'Westside' River Dance to celebrate the beginning of Spring Break."

Dixon, who is white, added a link to a YouTube page that shows five computer-generated monkeys dancing.

Where did these people grow up? Or did they? The Internet is just too much for some people to handle. Gives them too much of an opportunity to "shoot first and then think later". This guy Dixon needs some schooling on how it works.
