She had to stop teaching because the black kid disrupted the class &amp; did not want to learn, ever since she found herself not being able to sleep at night.<\/p>\n<p>And that school was mostly white, but the black kids gave her a bad time &amp; she was a strict teacher, one day one black kid had was going to another class so she didn&#8217;t have him anymore, one day he acted terrible &amp; she grabbed his arm &amp; he said you don&#8217;t touch me &amp; she said I will touch you if you don&#8217;t behave yourself. So one day she had to go to the principal&#8217;s office &amp; there was this black kid, &amp; he said hello to her &amp; the principal said oh do you know Miss &#8212;&#8211; &amp; the black kid [said]\u00a0 sure me &amp; Miss &#8212;&#8211; 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&#8217;t because of all the disrupting in class \u2013<\/p>\n<p>A citizen of SF<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I had a nephew who was a teacher in Oakland &amp; he couldn&#8217;t stand it any longer. He gave up his nice home.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s too bad that all the teachers over explain to the kids that the people have to pay for all the school equipment &amp; etc. My nephew said also he couldn&#8217;t make the black kids learn. My brother had a roofing business &amp; he had to hire blacks &amp; he said they would work so slow &amp; it got on his nerves, as they didn&#8217;t care &amp; my brother had to hire them which is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I know I went to school in the country &amp; 3 Japanese kids came to school &amp; we didn&#8217;t like them, they were the kind that really study a lot Kevin never took the eye off the lesson &amp; of course they graduated really early in age.<\/p>\n<p>The black kids who say let&#8217;s get [illegible word] &amp; he was afraid they would beat him up as they were big black kids \u2013<\/p>\n<p>The black mothers &amp; if they have a black father should make their kids mind \u2013 The teacher here in SF said they lose the schoolbooks &amp; ruin them &amp; who pays for that, the white people who have big property taxes.<\/p>\n<p>This lady would make the kids use the paper on both sides as they waste the paper &amp; the kids would say why worry about it &amp; she said to the kids your father &amp; mother have to pay for all this &amp; they said oh no &amp; she said oh yes \u2013 she made the kids stop wasting paper &amp; etc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>EE-2-W-2e<\/p>\n<p>[Envelope addressed to NAACP in San Francisco, Postmark 1 May 1978]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EE-2-W-2a &#8211; 2e NAACP What makes me think the most of black people hate the whites people &amp; why then do they want to go to a school that is all white \u2013 Are you blacks afraid that the black kids will do better by mixing with the white kids \u2013 I know the teacher [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":88253,"menu_order":19,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-126484","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=126484"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126486,"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126484\/revisions\/126486"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/88253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=126484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
