Race not the issue

Race is not the issue here. The issue is quality of life and quality of education. I am often in our schools. It is not right that teachers and administrators do not discipline some students for fear of being accused of being racists. There are students who are allowed to speak disrespectfully to adults and other students and constantly interrupt instruction with no consequences because it is considered their "culture". This did not happen in our schools 5-10 years ago.
Students are passed on and on and given all kinds of preferential treatment whether they know material or not. Ask any parent who has tried to have their child retained in a grade in Fayette County - it is like fighting Goliath. Although not always minority students, those students who are not performing academically up to par, who are disruptive, belligerant, and discipline problems, are usually, to use an oxymoron, majority minority!
