5. The white libs are teaching Latino immigrants how to do backyard gardening?
"When the master gardener program signed on, La Mesa Verde brought two different communities together — educated, English-speaking and mostly white volunteer gardeners at the front of the green movement with low-income, Spanish-speaking Latinos just struggling to survive.

La Mesa Verde is more than planting and eating. Master gardeners will serve as mentors, visiting each family twice a month. The 30 families so far must attend classes on organic gardening and nutrition, all at no cost."

And for this he gets a salary? What's wrong with this picture?
