and no matter how you cut it...it is a result of racism Have to disagree Lib. They get more funding in their schools than many districts. Yet, their corrupt school board members hire relatives who never show up yet claim a pay check. They take lavish trips on taxpayer expense. And who are they killing? Whites? No! They kill each other in the name of gang strength. You can use racism as an excuse but I don't buy it. My uncle lived their in the sixties. He moved becasuse property started declining. It did so because of no city leadership. The same corruption in their schools is in their city hall. Whites were not the only ones to flee ESL. African Americans did too. Those who couldn't or wouldn't are now left with the remnants of a dead city. The gangs own it now. Go to a football game at Clyde Jordan as I used to. You see a crowd outside the stadium in front of God and everybody smoking pot, crack and whatever else they want to do. You see the school board and their cronies tucked away in the penthouse of the press box drinking and eating food paid for by the school. It's wrong. Hell the state tried to take over the schools but the corruption was too deep. Lost cause. The difference between GC downtown and ESL is we still have a majority of people who care and work to make this community a better place. I feel for the good people left in ESL but the only thing that will fix that problem is to turn it into a riverfront prison.
