I'm just relating what I was told and have confirmed by both the African American kids in the inner city AND their teachers. Which is very interesting because you'd expect them to be experts on their own slice of American history. I'm a Government guy. That, plus economics and psychology. Next year I might pick up something to do with criminal justice and law enforcement if I get to go over to the magnet school that's trying to recruit me.
