Out with the Black in with the Incompetent

This weeks lecture was more informative than inspirational. I actually feel like I walked away with something more. I learned that when the desegregation occurred they removed all the black teachers including the qualified ones and replaced them with less qualified teachers. Furthermore, the trend set from that day and age has continued with statistically less african american teachers than caucasian teachers. I can attest to this because of my experience in public education, there are very few black educators out there. They are less in principal positions and even in densely populated areas of African Americans the ratio still prevales. It is interesting because we should be taking the future of OUR youth into our own hands, but were leaving it up to others. This is the ever consisting problem with African Americans, initiative  persistance, and even simply caring. We need to hone these qualities in our young for the success of our society, not just African American culture but American Society.
