What makes me think the most of black people hate the whites people & why then do they want to go to a school that is all white –
Are you blacks afraid that the black kids will do better by mixing with the white kids – I know the teacher has been retired from Junior High School. She had to stop teaching because the black kid disrupted the class & did not want to learn, ever since she found herself not being able to sleep at night.
And that school was mostly white, but the black kids gave her a bad time & she was a strict teacher, one day one black kid had was going to another class so she didn’t have him anymore, one day he acted terrible & she grabbed his arm & he said you don’t touch me & she said I will touch you if you don’t behave yourself. So one day she had to go to the principal’s office & there was this black kid, & he said hello to her & the principal said oh do you know Miss —– & the black kid [said] sure me & Miss —– are old friends, so you see he respected her. She said that the Blacks made it so bad that the kids that wanted to learn couldn’t because of all the disrupting in class –

P.S. I had a nephew who was a teacher in Oakland & he couldn’t stand it any longer. He gave up his nice home.
That’s too bad that all the teachers over explain to the kids that the people have to pay for all the school equipment & etc. My nephew said also he couldn’t make the black kids learn. My brother had a roofing business & he had to hire blacks & he said they would work so slow & it got on his nerves, as they didn’t care & my brother had to hire them which is wrong.
I know I went to school in the country & 3 Japanese kids came to school & we didn’t like them, they were the kind that really study a lot Kevin never took the eye off the lesson & of course they graduated really early in age.
The black kids who say let’s get [illegible word] & he was afraid they would beat him up as they were big black kids –
The black mothers & if they have a black father should make their kids mind – The teacher here in SF said they lose the schoolbooks & ruin them & who pays for that, the white people who have big property taxes.
This lady would make the kids use the paper on both sides as they waste the paper & the kids would say why worry about it & she said to the kids your father & mother have to pay for all this & they said oh no & she said oh yes – she made the kids stop wasting paper & etc.
