Dear Leaning Right,

I don't think the author's essay is propaganda. I think it's more likely he had a different set of experiences than you did.

My sons attended/attend (one graduated, one is a rising senior) a 60% black school, and their experiences are radically different from both the author's and yours.

That doesn't mean that because your experiences are so radically different from my sons' that you're engaged in propaganda. Only that you were at a different school with different circumstances than that of my sons' high school.

Perhaps the author of the essay taught at one or more schools with its own set of differences from the schools that gave rise to your experiences.

I see your point, but I still don't buy it. The main goal of this author was not to shine a light on urban schools. The main goal was to incite racial hatred.

If I had to bet, I'd bet that author is a white supremacist who spent little or no time actually teaching in an urban school.
