What a shame that his career was so unpleasant and short-lived. He went into the situation with a severe disadvantage: he was white. Funny how the racism of the kids and their parents is okay because it is black on white. You can see how the parent's racist, bigoted attitude trickled down to the children. That is what will hold them back in society, not whitey.
The really sad thing is that the liberals in higher education, while overlooking this travesty of education in this and other primary schools, will seek to address it by giving free "malanin" points to many of these kids so they can get into colleges and universities. Talk about treating the symptoms and not the disease!
I agree with big Al Sharpton: there is still a racism problem in this country. It just happens that much of it is in the black and hispanic communities (and others, no doubt). It is bad enough when racism by whites against blacks holds back a promising student or job candidate, but it is infinitely worse when the minority populations hurt themselves by their own bigotry. Seriously, how smart is it to deny your own children's chances of success by showing no interest in their education.
Other racial minorities, in particular, East Asians, East Indians, Jews and others have prospered beyond all expectations by taking exceptional interest in their children's education. This even happens in black and hispanic families where the parents are involved in the children's education, so it is not really a racial problem. It is a parenting problem, and the liberal teaching establishment is doing little on nothing (judging by this article) to rectify the problem.
You can't help people that have no interest in helping themselves. Truly sad.
Waddaya mean "travesty?" What about the beefing up of the union rolls with security guards, and of admin staff and budgets to deal with conflict resolution and lawsuits? All this manna and the instillation of victim mentality in minorities, and class and ethnic strife in the communities. It's leftist heaven, I tell ya!
