These clowns will scream racism to matter what. The NAACP is trying to get Obama to step in and stop the “racist emergency manager law” in Detroit. Never mind the fact that the emergency manager himself is Black.

In fact the emergency manager (also black) for Detroit schools fired the white interim superintendent and 5 other school board members the other day.

In Stockton California it looks like it was primarily middle aged white women who have led that city to collapse.

HISTORY OF APS

Established by ordinance of the Atlanta City Council, the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) opened three grammar schools and two high schools in 1872 to educate the youth of the city. These openings brought the total number of schools offering free education to the city’s children to seven, as the Freedman’s Bureau had established two schools for “Negro” children in 1866.

The primary objective of the district has not changed from those early days. In the 21st century, APS has a renewed focus on student success, and strives to prepare every child for the future through effective and innovative teaching that meets the needs of the individual learner. Families, teachers, students and the community are encouraged to fully participate in the educational process that offers rigorous academics, relevance to everyday life and builds strong relationships among students, peers, and adults.
