Curious perspective.

First of all, I'd like to know at least which city you're writing from, since I've not seen the "Afrimerican term. I like it better than African-American.

Secondly, your assumption that "qualified" teachers were removed in favor of Jewish ones is quite specious, although in some cases probably true. I'd like to see where you found that statistic and the mitigating factors.

That they lowered the educational standards is debatable; more than likely, it was the substantial increase in black public school enrollment and decrease in class sizes following that momentous occasion that altered the educational quality.

Blaming a particular group does little good, however, unless you mean to replace racism with anti-semitism.

I can tell you from my Houston inner city teaching experience that most of the teachers who failed the TECAT tests were black, some taking them for a dozen times. Other black teachers have varying degrees of competence. While many can maintain excellent discipline, there knowledge of subject matter is spotty. My wife is one of the very few black teachers I've ever known to be competent in knowledge of subject matter (better than most of her white colleagues) and can manage discipline.
