The Blame game...

To what extent are the administrators and/or the teachers responsible for the inequities at Wilson and the other dilemmas?

I think that to every extent the administration and teachers are responsible for the inequities at Wilson.  Parents of course did have influence on these individuals, but the staff implemented the social stratification in the first place.  This is no different than 'separate but equal' that took place in the '50s.  These administrators especially should have known better.  They allowed this to happen and if sit here and say they didn't realize what was going on we are just as jaded as they were.  The real issue is leadership that didn't want to sacrifice their careers fighting parents for what is right.  The teachers too are to blame for allowing such things to happen on their campus.  The 'upper' level arts teachers of course liked the way things had been designed.  They should all be reassigned to different areas or retire from teaching all together.  I am sure they could open up some private schools for teaching the arts in the community.  The upper class white parents would probably pay them well.
