Centered on Angelo culture and beliefs, possibly designed to cater and enhance the attributes of White Angelo Americans? What do you think: Do Americans living within the the U.S have a greater tendency to ore judge; selecting such factors as economic status or race as their possible reference when making these assessments?

Could we as a nation possibly influence educators, as well as community leaders to change their opinions? Speak out and let your voice be heard!

All of the proceeds raised for Curvy Idol are going to send girls to camp. Not just any girl; not just any camp. We want to send girls who battle with weight and self-image issues to a camp where they will learn to respect and love themselves and not succumb to the bullying comments that we all remember h earing in the halls at school.

Make sure that these girls know that they are lov...
