From the comments of local NAACP President Dot Scott, people should logically conclude that Scott hates integrated schools; she hopes for all-black ones.
Scott happily supported Charleston County Schools Superintendent Nancy McGinley as long as McGinley kept appointing blacks to administrative positions. Now she is outraged that two high schools--Garrett and Stall--will have white principals. Someone should ask her: where is the tipping point? If the school is 49 percent black, should it have a principal who is half white and half black? If the school is 51 percent black, should the principal be black? Just plain silly.
What Scott should be outraged about is that CCSD policies have produced a pattern of schools that are 95 (or more) percent black! Instead, her goal is de facto segregation. The NAACP (and Scott) will control the public schools only if they are no longer integrated. Appointing principals based on race should put the icing on the cake.
No wonder the local NAACP has the lowest percentage of white members of practically any chapter in the country! Measured by Scott's statements, it's composed of a bunch of racists.

If Dot is questioning the integrity of the superintendent, she's a little late. Better late than never. Too bad, according to the P&C article, Dot only made passing mention of CCSD's new practice to out-source its maintenance workers to private companies owned by former CCSD managers.
What is sad in all of this is what has been lost in the story. David Parsons. Good man. Great educator. Great principal. David went about his job every day, meticulously, passionately, and without fanfare. He even retired without even as much as a farewell at his final graduation. Why? Because it has always been about the kids with David. Always. Too bad this part of the story was never written. Then again, it's the way David would have wanted it. To David Parsons: Great job! Thank you!
