I see the chickenshits closed the comments.

N.O. schools were the worst in America Pre K. The school board was just a bunch of corrupt racist assholes who were not qualified to stock shelves at Walmart.
Most people, including many blacks realize how much better N.O. schools are. You still have a few dumbasses like this person and their parents who want their blackness back, but things are good and getting better every day.

I think this guy missed his own message by injecting race. It sounds like he wants to recruit teachers within the area rather than teachers from outside NOLA because they may be able to give additional education not taught from a book. Although a history teacher can give more of a cultural education than, say, a math teacher (I guess those classes will be reserved for whitey since everybody hates math anyway).

Best comment I saw:

Sorry to whomever wrote this essay. Teachers get hired who want the job and who are competent to teach. Students need to prepare themselves for a diverse situation because that is what they are going to confront in life. You aren't going to get coddled in life by people who understand you want want to connect with you. You have to understand many different types of cultures in this nation to get by. Suck it up and get used to it and try to learn. You will be better for it.

has anyone pointed out to the author that he's advocating separate but equal as a solution? i mean frick.

Maybe they should make one of these charter schools a "blacks only" school with a complete freeze on hiring whites. Only local blacks. Then see how it goes.

This goes much deeper than just schools.

Blacks and Hispanics believe that their government representatives must be of the same color. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of the courts (if not all) agree with them, and have forced cities, school districts -- you name it -- to carve out a district so that the predominant race can elect "one of their own."

It doesn't always work out that way, because sometimes it's hard to determine which Mexicans can vote, and which ones are illegals (and can't vote). See Irving, Tx, Independent School District.

The problem of diversity is becoming more difficult here as more and more teachers from outside of the neighborhood and the city take local teaching jobs.

Student: My school has too many white teachers.

I thought we were all equal. What differences does it make if they are white,black, asian...?

Student appears to be a bigot.

Also, from the tone of the replies here, no white family has ever reacted to having "too many" black teachers at a school.
