I wish we had principals in this country as courageous as Joe Clark. I remember the left really gave him a hard time even though he was trying to do his job of keeping East side high safe and making sure the kids were learning. I mean why weren't there enough security guards? Why wern't there magnetic locks on the doors of the school the same way they got all those nice things in rich schools? The left never had an ounce of concern and they wanted to get rid of Clark and go back to the status quo of shootings, drugs and other problems.
I also liked what he said about expelling students. Those damn kids don't want to learn, they are being forced in that school, if you have teenagers that are like that just let them drop out or throw them out! Let them see why they need an education to begin with! He also said that we should let them back in once they get that in their head and to keep those doors of oppertunity open for them. The leftists don't like that.
the teachers and students in these schools, especially the teachers need a good kick in the rear from the likes of Joe Carter. Even though the kids didn't all pass the exams and meet the state's quota, Carter DID succeed in making East side high a safer place and a model school.
