Terry, unfortunately the parents not showing up to meetings is partiallt true, but you fail to see the bigger undertones behind these “school closings”

Atlanta, for example, fought the state takeover of failing schools. Yet Atlanta had its chance and failed year after year after year. So with no clue as to real solutions and not strategic plan that works, African Americans keep getting offended. How dumb is that?

Largely you cannot lock up African American kids if they are not committing crimes, though I know disproportionate incarceration and profiling exists.
But we cannot let African American parents off the hook. Are you a good example? Are you watching what influences your children like video games, music and whores like Nikki Minaj?

Political neglect of schools is also true but how many parents are allowing this to happen, not participating at the schools nor attending the PTA meetings? Don’t just blame the establishment.

Much of what is happening is because parents are allowing it.
