Unless I miss my mark, does this article not assert that the presence of white teachers in black districts is the only way to assure they will improve educationally? Does that not basically use an argument that assumes that black teachers are inherently less qualified? Strange logic.

The article is twisted to put the proper racial-hate baiting LIBERAL spin out to the public.

A huge number of new teachers just don't stay on the job once they hit public classrooms. Others have left out of disgust. Bumpersticker propaganda has replaced knowledge in government schools.

Didn't some "black leader" recently state that whites were incapable of properly teaching black kids?

In the past day or so, our local Superintendent of Schools (yes, a black man) publicly declared that anyone who was for neighborhood schools and against forced busing is a racist. Period.

This is in Raleigh, NC, by the way.......hardly some Northeast liberal bastion. He's being publicly gutted for it on talk radio, but nowhere else. The gall of this man. He not only insults his own race to a shocking degree (in effect saying "unless we mix our kids with those rich white kids, we just can't make it").........he insults parents of all races by insisting that he knows what's best for OUR kids.

Strange logic indeed!
An alternative explanation is that the black community doesn't give a rat's elbow about the educational performance of their children: hence the shortage of black teachers.

Strange logic indeed, or perhaps the reason is simpler still; a subculture that is devolving (for the most part) into total cultural criminal helplessness.
