You know I haven't really posted about the school or the school board. There is a reason for this, basically because my wife is a teacher. Well we have a school board that cannot or will not know the rules. It's still the old Whale Branch High School dilemma....again.
Mr. Campbell thinks that he is the only person that goes through hardship because he's black. Guess what? My daughter endures an hour long bus ride... every day. Every single day. We live only 3.5 miles from the school. So you see Mr. Campbell it is not just your black people that have to wait for long bus rides, white kids suffer too, on overcrowded buses at that.
We have the same problems now that we had back then. Except now we have this economy to deal with and there is just not enough students in the right places. They needed to move attendance zones, they needed to do so, before they asked for the referendum money. They didn't, and now we have what we have. Which is a bunch of shit... basically. They can try and assign whatever they like as to reason why they think the school is needed, but in all honesty the school, even reduced is too big and still too far away to make any difference. And the rest of us will pay, pay in tax money and resources that could have been better spent. Thanks School Board.

It's been that way ever since I can remember. No matter how many people - of whatever race, religion, or socioeconomic culture - suffer, it's always the black leadership who say that they are still enslaved, still the most downtrodden, and still the most put-upon. Try to say, "hey, what about this group or that?" and you immediately get shouted down. Many southern blacks really believe that the new Prez wll pay their house payments and give them gas vouchers - because it is OWED to them. They have a culture of 'you owe me' that can't be altered no matter how many of their race succeed. If the big O doesn't give them everything that they feel they deserve, he will be known as an "uncle Tom" rather than as a man who tried to make a difference. This attitude of "we have to be GIVEN everything" insults the decent folk of EVERY race who work hard for everything they get, and who take a righteous pride in not asking for anything, from anyone. The School Board catering to and actually paying attention to and funding this "guilt" is one of the main reasons they are in so much organizational and fiscal trouble - because they base their decisions on emotion, not reason. They are but a tiny microcosm of the nation's attitude.
Hey I miss you guys on the BT Blogs. Just wanted to say hi.
