 We went from wonderfully  low  crime rates to nearly the highest in the 
state. My pretty daughter wore dresses  to school and loved to go. We had to 
pull her outafter gangs that had   moved into the school with the new 
students threatened tomess up her face  permanently. Total strangers, they 
just didn't like theway she looked and told  her they hated white girls. This 
is the 6th grade I am describing here.

 My  house  valued dropped 60 percent, effectively trapping me when I was 
trying to  sell and  buy land in the country. We didn't lock our doors, now 
we do. Our  property taxes  have tripled to build schools and cover programs. 
The school  board that lost the  accreditation was comprised of city of 
atlanta teachers,  some not living in the  county who ran as a block to take 
over the board. 

Their campaign slogan was  "Black students deserve black leadership" They had 
no  experience but based on  skin color alone won their seats.
There was so much corruption and graft in this group that SACS says they will 
not  even  consider re-accreditation until every one of them are gone.
