Yet another article similar to what I mentioned in my email about my experiences (I went to forced-integrated schools, but I didn’t have the kids sent out to where I lived - I was bused into the inner city to go where they lived). We surprisingly (in the ‘80s) didn’t have racial incidents much. Thugs and bullies came in all shades, including the teachers and principals.

btw..even here in bucolic Williamson the public schools still preach “some” of the same crap espoused by NEA and modern textbooks

my oldest got in a row with his teachers over Columbus and his errant ways of not serving tea and crumpets to the minorities inhabiting these shores

Like you, I went to a public high school in the 80's (early 80's). Neither the black nor white students were bussed to our school from another town... because we all lived in the same town. ;-) But, there was much racial tension at our school back then.

So, I don't doubt the overall experiences the writer describes. But, I suspect she's using some creative license for dramatic effect. And I noticed all of the kids who committed wrongs are portrayed as victims of some sort in her article. (That kind of thinking is the crux of the problem.)

Whatever the case, it sounds like another reason to homeschool. Ping to metmom. (It's your call, metmom. Just another article about public school.) Have a good day.
