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.
