Lotta Amish in downtown Richmond.
Norwegians.
Can't take 'em anywhere!
I taught for decades at an urban public high school. There never were any graduation gunfights when I was there (thank goodness).
But there were always disruptions. Always. And often there were major fights. Somebody in the audience looked at somebody else wrong. Or maybe somebody booed when they should have clapped. Then it’s go time.
It always broke my heart. Maybe 85% of the urban kids I taught were great kids. They persevered in often difficult situations. G_d bless them.
But oh, that other 15%. And their parents. They took every opportunity possible to disrupt.
Dang just posted a different version of this.
Maybe gang related in that part of the state.
...this is really sad.....lived in Virginia for almost a
half-century, most of that time in Chesterfield County (prior to that a few years in the city of Richmond, but when children got to be school age, left and never looked back....). Last time I was in downtown Richmond, it looked like a ghost town....boarded up stores, trash on the sidewalks, etc. No white man dares to walk on Broad Street these days, from what I understand.....life here in Texas is a whole lot better...!!!
My ancestors were Huguenots.
I’m betting the students’ ancestors were not.
