    While gassing up I heard two women on the other side of the pump   
    island, talking about schools. Both were black women somewhat   
    younger than I am. One I knew, she is a former teacher. The   
    other I learned was a former teacher who now evaluates failing   
    schools for the state of Ohio.   
      
    Former teacher said the problem she has found with the schools   
    doing badly is, they have overwhelmingly white suburban teachers   
    in majority black schools. The white suburban girls are afraid   
    of blacks, esp young black men and treat them with hostility to   
    keep them in their place.   
      
    The evaluator said she had found that to be typical in failing   
    schools throughout the state.   
      
    Thomas Sowell often spoke of a school in Washington DC, before   
    integration, that maintained results comparable to the good   
    schools, with a black student body and all black teachers.   
      
    Funny, Thomas Sowell probably didn't realize it, but he endorsed   
    affirmative action for school teachers.
