  2. Is there a Racine White Caucus and a Racine Alliance of White School Educators?

  3. No, a "Racine White Caucus" and a "Racine Alliance of White School Educators" would be racist organizations. Black and/or hispanic ones are ok though. I'm sure membership to the black/hispanic associations are open to everyone too.

  4. I’d like to personally thank Horlick Principal Nola S-R. While attending orientation at Horlick, she told the crowd of several hundred "Don't send your kids to private schools, it's a waste of money"
    That hateful comment was enough to open enroll my kids out of Horlick and out of Unified. Best thing we ever did. So thanks Nola, you waste of taxpayer money.

  5. Nola was my choir teacher at Fratt in the 70's. She was tough but fair. We were going thru desegregation at the time and it was very confusing to kids our age. I think she's a fine example of what teachers should be like and god bless her for standing by her beliefs. By the way "anonymous", I am a 45 yr old white female.
