However, as much as race is part of politics in Memphis, I don't think the charter surrender had anything to do with race.

With some right wingers, a minority I'll grant, but a significant one, it's like stepping back in time to 1956.

I would say that post was in extremely poor taste, which is why I didn't respond to it.

I would like to see a source for your position that the SCS board planned to cordon off part of the county.

Of course. The "bad" people should just always make sure they consider the interests of the "good" people first.

What a fucking bigot. Typical local right winger.

Hey, you're the ones who are making hay out of "good" and "bad" and digging a moat between the two. Not me. Not to rehash this whole thing, but the SCS board was the entity who started the snowball that led to this charter surrender; what was MCS supposed to do?

Please explain how this will return the "bad" part to prosperity rather than causing the "good" part to opt out one way or another.

Please get your facts straight on welfare and foodstamps and other programs. First of all, the welfare system was designed, primarily, for the poor rural whites.

Its not going to happen, OTP. I do believe you are just going to have to continue to eat Mark Norris' dust because he has been ahead of you and the quitters downtown on this all along.

While we are here, why don't you tell us why you think the City of Memphis, home of the worst school district in the state before it was dismantled by the Memphis politicians, should be running the schools in Bartlett?

OTP, I think Mayes ruled as he did to give the municipalities time to get their plans in place for their MSD's.

Let the current SCS, lame duck board, make policy based upon what the public wants, within reason. I mean both the city of Memphis and suburban Shelby County.
Posted by oldtimeplayer]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:15:02 -0600 Memphis Flyer So this merger is going to make a lot of suburban folk mad and not do anything to help the inner city kids?

SCS isn't all that great right now, it's mediocre on its best day. SCS's results with poor inner city kids haven't been any better than MCS.
