A quick look at Equality/Diversity in Adair County By Ed Waggener When Judge-elect Judy Vance is sworn into office today, Adair County will be more gender equal than ever. Here's a look a quick scan of that picture - including racial diversity in leadership positions for several major institutions in Adair County:
Adair County seems to be doing very well. Ironies abound: Most of the female elected officials in the highest posts are Republicans, although a popular notion is that Democrats are the party which champions women's advancement the most. And there is the irony of racial acceptance. A Kentucky governor, a Democrat, inherited a parallel situation to his presidential counterpart, a Democrat. And both performed at parallel levels of extraordinary competence. Kentuckians overwhelming back their Governor, but by the same margin went against their President. One might think there was a shade of difference, which brought on the outcome. But if it were racial, what explains the winning margin of minority candidate, Quinn Lasley, and the near win of Craig Lasley for the six member City Council? Just something to think about, when we ponder who we are and what we believe, and what actions we take. - Ed Waggener This story was posted on 2012-11-30 09:44:29
