Ten dollars says that none of her readers corrects her. What beggars belief is how she got those numbers!
>You have 20 command-staff people. http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/2005_Organizational_Structure/Structure.htm.
1. One is a woman; women are almost 51 percent of the county's population;
2. 3 have what looks like Hispanic names; Hispanics are 22.8 percent of the population;
3. Three faces tell me they are black men; blacks are 16.6 percent of the population;
4. The rest are white Anglo-Saxon born-in-the-cotton-wadding-of-the-unfair-affirmative-action-plan-for-too-often-dumb white males, titular lords of the universe, not from ability but from cheating.
According to my math that makes your staff .5 percent women;15 percent Hispanics; 6.6 blacks; 78 percent white guys. Those percentages are obscenely out of line with the population distribution.<
Holy crap! Your maths is terrible! Honestly, your ignorance in a basic life skill such as percentages is deplorable.
One out of twenty is five per cent. Two out of twenty is two lots of five per cent - ten per cent.
What I find truly disturbing is that any comments you have made about teachers' pay and a pay rise of such-and-such percent were based on something of which you have no idea.
Now, try those numbers again. See me after class if you are still innumerate.
