There was an article on Monica Goodling in the New York Times today, with further details about she carried out the politicization of the Justice Department. I’ve only ever seen one photo of her, I’m guessing from a Regent University alumni event, but it actually loooks like it’s from a sorority mixer.
There are plenty of reason to read this piece, but one bit caught my attention:
[Goodling] joined the [Justice] department in the press office. Soon after, two lawyers said, Ms. Goodling complained that staff members in Puerto Rico had used rap music in a public service announcement intended to discourage gun crime.
“That is just outrageous,” she told one department lawyer. “How could they use government money for an ad that featured rap music? That kind of music glorifies violence.”
I refer you to my earlier piece on hip-hop criticism.
