Poor European-Americans are not included in your concerns? I REALLY don't understand why it has to be about AFRICAN-AMERICANS. The problem is NOT your skin color. The problem is POVERTY and POVERTY (unlike 100 Black Men) is NOT Racist. The LaPESC needs to turn it's attention on the CULTURE that surrounds POVERTY. The culture that idolizes street thug gang dealers, Sex, promiscuity, Violence and dying young. I have a challenge to the members of the LaPESC. Go and have a listen on your kid's iphone. That's your problem. Your role models suck. But most of all, take your damned politics somewhere else. Our teachers have enough to deal with already. Perhaps if all of the wannabe politicians got out of the way and quit micromanaging our teachers, the teachers could find time to actually teach. Right now they spend 2 minutes teaching a subject for every 10 minutes they spend documenting that they taught it. And why are they doing this? To appease the wannabe politicians. - voter Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:34:32 +0100
