New city school blends learning with African cultural flavor

The school is the first with an African focus in the St. Louis public school system, a district where about 80 percent of the students are black.

So just because you're black, it's assumed you want an African focus.

Is the school serving fried chicken and watermelon after basketball practice?

Are you kidding me? Africa (the black portion) never contributed anything to modern civilization. No high rise buildings, not even a wheel, no autos, no steam engines, no water wells, no water systems, no sewer systems, no airplanes, no electronics, no nothing. So why would anyone want to send their child to a school that teaches African culture. I wonder where the witch doctor fits in.

However none of the above is the important concern. The important concern is that these parents and school administrators get to vote.

But then again, we still have a Black Congressional Caucus. It all begins with Congress. Go figure!

Machete art anyone?
