SCHP Wins Grant to Reach out to Hispanic Community

Aug 9, 2006 07:27 PM


The highway patrol in South Carolina has won a grant to reach out to the hispanic community.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded $41,000 to develop a multimeda presentation to explain driving safety, proper use of child safety seats and how to get a driver's license.

The Highway Patrol community relations officers will use the video in presentations at churches and schools throughout the community.

If you would like to request a presentation of the new program, contact the South Carolina Highway Patrol Office of Community Relations at 803-896-7920.

I’m confused; they only want to help out a particular race. Shouldn’t this be something that they offer to the community at large and not just the Hispanic people? Is this presentation in English?

I don't know for sure, but something tells me it's probably not. :roll:

It just seems racist to me for them to be only offering this to one set of people and not to all citizens and races. JMHO
