I wonder how he would have turned out had he attended Hillhouse High
School New Haven Ct?
I'm betting a bitter, bigoted old man with no life except an imaginary
one in a newsgroup.
the president of my senior class was black.

So *you* weren't the class president? *Do tell.

Did he go on to become an Astronaut and head of NASA? *Of course not,
that was someone *from "rednecksville", SC. *Uh huh.

Things have changed a lot since you were in school in the '40s. *Of
course, that does help explain why you're so "set in your ways" and
forgetful. *It's typical of the elderly, unfortunately.

As I stated, your local guy succeeded because he got out of rednecksville..

How do you know he wouldn't have been just as successful had he stayed
in Columbia? And do you know that many progressive southern cities
have a much higher rate of college grads than in your area? Now, I
mean REAL grads, not made up Yale ones.

The president of my senior high school class was doing very well when we
caught up at a reunion.

How about the make believe president of the make believe student body
of your make believe Yale education?

I was in public school in the 1950's and 1960's, but I agree that
"things have changed a lot" since then, and, as a generality, I believe
today's high schoolers are far less literate than their predecessors.
Too much internet, too many video games, not enough reading, writing,
math, and science.

That's pure bull****.

Of course, you righties aren't big fans of science. Interferes with your
idiotic religious beliefs.- Hide quoted text -
