Since Rev. Meeks has not been able to change things in Springfield, maybe he needs to come back home where the voters are who can get rid of those who are not concerned about the low graduation rate of black students. The next change should be at Clark Street. In corporate America such results would mean out placement.
I have faith that the black community has the diverse viewpoints and understands this problem well enough to do the right thing and save some of the students … that is, if they live long enough.
