Comments on: DHS Students Meet Madeline Albright http://www.decaturmetro.com/2011/09/08/dhs-students-meet-madeline-albright/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Sat, 23 Jun 2012 19:48:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Natasha Rachellhttp://www.decaturmetro.com/2011/09/08/dhs-students-meet-madeline-albright/#comment-138812 Natasha Rachell Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:20:04 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-138812 My son was fortunate enough to be able to attend this trip and he and I actually got to meet her. Mr. B. is by far one of the best teachers that I know. I work in the field of education myself and Mr. B. stops at nothing to ensure that his students are exposed to the community and to the world. The pin that she wore that day was a gold flower. Her stories about her pins were very descriptive and made us feel as if we were there with her the very day that she wore them. The DHS students were all very well behaved and had a true interest in Ms. Albright as well as the exhibits at the Carter Center.

According to my daughter, Madeleine Albright recounted her story of "sticking it to Putin". She wore a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" pin on a trip to Moscow during the period when Russia was putting down unrest in Chechnya. When Putin asked why she wore that pin, she answered honestly that it was an acknowledgment of her disapproval of the Russian military brutality in Chechnya.http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-07-28/news/ct-oped-0728-mistake-20110728_1_pins-chechnya-president-putinI have to echo the comments of others. Mr. B is bottled lightning. I don’t know what she was wearing on the day she met our students. According to my daughter, Madeleine Albright recounted her story of “sticking it to Putin”.

I could be wrong. Anyhow, wish somebody had introduced me to that concept when I was still in high school.
