Thank you for your courage

Matthew Eisley's March 10 editor's column, "Don't assume racism," hit all the nails squarely on the head.

I favor neighborhood schools for many reasons. I have a hard time understanding why all the schools are not the same from neighborhood to neighborhood, and no one from the school board can answer that question for me. If you could get a straight and believable answer from any one on the board, you'd be my hero for a day!

Thank you for your courage in stepping forward and standing up for what's right. All children deserve a quality education without having to ship one in.
