President Obama didn’t dare mention the situation at Richmond, Virginia’s Martin Luther King Middle School during his oh-so-eloquent Selma speech last Saturday. The mess at MLK is being played out in majority black schools across the country.
On March 6 an NBC affiliate reported MLK, a school with 731 students and 99% black, had 1635 disorderly incidents in 2014. The kicker? The $40 million dollar state-of-the-art middle school opened in January of the same year.
The writing was on the wall in May, 2014 when teachers at MLK wrote an extensive email to a local TV station saying they feared for their lives. Teachers claimed the school was not safe for teachers or students and administrators were turning a blind eye to their concerns.

The only reason our public schools are a mess is because too many dysfunctional types are allowed in and any one thing can set them off into a psychoid spiral of destructiveness. Alternative schools do need to be used.
