See today's OpEd by Rev. Louis Coleman, director of the Justice Resource Center in Louisville, in the Courier-Journal.
"Our concern is not that Dr. Berman is not qualified to serve somewhere as a superintendent, but it is apparent that he is not the one for this system, and it is disturbing that individuals whose duty it is to plan and look out for the future of our children know so little about their needs. It shows zero interest. It's an old saying that you eventually get out of a project what you put in, and that's what seems to be happening with this leadership...
Maybe this choice was made due to the futuristic thinking of the board, when the Supreme Court makes its decision this spring. Maybe neighborhood schools will become a reality; just maybe the board's thinking is to hire a suburban superintendent now and be ahead of the game in the spring. Just maybe the school board's prime thought is to have a more suburban system, tolerate African Americans, the poor and other minorities, just so long as the state dollars keep coming in. Who cares if they are being taught and are learning? If not, find a timeout program."
