To my teacher who thought I was "city college material" cuz I was African

<p>You know, this kind of stuff happens to all kids, not only those of certain races. My son is not at the top of his class, and when he told his GC of his plans to apply to such places as Marquette, Johns Hopkins, Catholic U, he was told, “Why don’t you just stay in Louisiana?”</p>

<p>I wonder if he was one of the rich kids at the top of the class, if he would have been given this advise.</p>

<p>This is why we’re number 47 in the nation in technology. They just want to hold our kids down here. Why educate them, when they need more people to make the beds for the tourists at the hotel.</p>
