According to
this story, California state education secretary Richard Riordan put his foot in his mouth big time, telling a little girl that her name (Isis) meant "stupid dirty girl" at a promotional event for summer reading at the Santa Barbara library.
But in a startling turn of events, her mom
isn't going to sue.
Quote:
The girl's mother, Trinity Lila of Goleta, said her daughter was fine, and she considered the issue over.
"Obviously it hurt her feelings, but she didn't take it personally. She knew he was wrong and she let it go," Lila said. "I'm not going to sue them for therapy bills."
"He's already apologized repeatedly," Lila added.
