The biggest laugh of this entire article is James Dawson's comments "Dawson said that he is blind to race, but not racism." Dawson is the biggest racist this side of Al Sharpton. The guy sits on the Board of Education. To hear him speak, you would think he was illiterate.
Funny story. I know a coach that teaches history at crosstown rival J.O. Johnson High School. This high school has been taken over by the state because the grades have gotten so bad. They sent a new principle in to "fix the problem".
Her first week there, she scheduled an assembly for the entire 9th grade class. The teachers (my coach friend included)told her this was a bad idea. She wouldn't listen. So, they rounded up all of the 9th graders.
Here they are, 300 or so of them, laughing, talking, cutting up. The new principle walks up to the microphone.
"Children". No effect.
"Children, let's take our seats." No effect.
"Children, that's not how 9th graders are supposed to act."
The hubbub quietens slightly and a voice calls out, "F*** you, B*tch".
Assembly over. Just another day at J.O. Johnson.
