If they studied their homework instead of listening to that Hip Hop crap and tried to be something they could never be, maybe their grades would be higher. I blame the PARENTS!!!!

this boycott is reminding me of something similar that happened here in socal when the Govenator wouldn't allow driver's licenses for illegals. They're just hurting themselves in the end.

I don't even really get what the article is talking about... It provides little to no background to the issue at all. From what I did read - sounds like some really messed up stuff.

Brandon:

"Some parents blame Eiland for the low number of African-American teachers in the district and the disparity between black and white student test scores, Gregory said."

I am unsure but I think it means that black children cant(or wont) learn under white teachers. That the parents will not allow their children to Go to school(learn anything) until black teachers are allowed to teach in the district.

That's a shame.

My grand daughter starts first grade next year and if my and my wife have to give all our decretionary funds to get my daughter in the next town over and away from these idiots, it will be well worth it. These kids don't want to learn, they want everything handed to them and their parents expect the same. And when they don't here goes the race game. I wouldn't teach these ungrateful little $%^^&'s. I'm surprised the teachers stay here and put up with this crap. When I went to school, the nuns would beat the lessons into you whether you liked it or not. You did your homework before you went out to play and had a note sent home if you were gettting in trouble or being a little @$$^&%. Then you got it from your parents too. There's entirely NO discipline or respect or enforcement or either.
