Thank you, Jeff, for confirming my point. Ms. Parks, a regular person (even regular people can be, and are, enlightened), provided a spark. To be sure, not every spark starts a fire (and here, I think I am confirming your point!); but that's often how fires are started. In my opinion, a spark, in whatever form, that might result in the censure or removal of a coach/educator who uses racial epithets like described in this thread IS socially significant.
