I posted this in another thread but I think it bears repeating:
The only thing that matters in Metro schools is the number of white students that are sitting next to black students. Whether either of them learn anything isn't even a consideration.
The infiltration of the underclass into the public school system via busing has created the biggest element in the class warfare phenomenon. It is called some families can afford private school for their children.
Nothing in the socialist world has created such a rift among Americans like busing.
Public Schools at least in Davidson County are at best a part of the welfare system. No family with pride and enough money will tolerate the bruhaha that now envelopes the public schools. (charters,vouchers,magnet schools,pseudo magnet schools) What an awful mess.
Regardless of the problems we face in Davidson County, and there are many, having the state take 3.4 million dollars away from the district will only compound the situation. Please sign my petition.
