Who will represent the black/brown/poor students of Huntsville in Federal Court on Thursday, May 22, 2014?

The Justice Department would rezone University Place Elementary from Jemison High to Huntsville High. Here University Place students sit for 2012 kickoff of Mayor Tommy Battle's Book Club. (Huntsville Times file)

^This is what Huntsville City Schools looked like in 1963^
The persons who are supposed to represent the children in the first picture are on the side of those who want our schools to look like the second picture.  Those who represent the children in the first photo are marginalized, and victimized.

What is wrong with this picture?

Stay tuned for Keeping Them Honest Vol. 2

It is NOT segregation or discrimination when the whites move from the inner city crime in North and West Huntsville to be better side of town. When this happened it left schools with mostly all black students.This happened all across America but yet we as blacks want to cry racism/segregation when it is not!!

Those pictures you posted also show another story. Those schools that fail now were passing back then!! Why?

We can cry all we want and stir the pot make it something that it is not or we can go into the community and change these young kids way of thinking. This would help with a better education once they understand that education is more important than being the next Lebron or Little Wayne or living a life of the streets! The mentality has to change!!

"We" can't go into the community and change these young kids way of thinking anyway "We" can go inside your head and change your way of thinking. What we can do is stop electing people who share your mentality. The elected leadership has to change.

How does who is elected change anything to do with segregation an failing schools? Will the new elected officials make it mandatory that all black schools have passing grades? lol
that is stupid to think new leadership will change schools! How are the schools in Birmingham, Detroit and Flint Mi under Democratic rule? LOL

LOL How are they in Democratic run states? Those states do not have much input as to how those schools run the local city and school board do. You just try to change the topic instead of coming up with an answer!

Most not all Democratic run cities,towns,countys are have a high crime rate and have failing schools!!! WHY?

Why do most not all democratic run cities, towns, county's, have a crime rate and have failing schools you ask? Because of budgets, policies, and laws passed by republican governors and republican controlled legislatures. That's why.
