Today in the beginning of class we went over the Canada map. IT'S ALSO ALL CAPS LOCK TODAY. NPR WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO FIRE JUAN WILLIAMS. HE STATED THAT WHENEVER HE SEES AN ISLAMIC PERSON ON AN AIRPLANE, HE GETS WORRIED WHICH IS RACIST. HE FEELS LIKE HE GOT FIRED BECAUSE OF HIM USING HIS FREDOM OF SPEECH.
