Forgione Interview Did Not Reflect Correct Biases
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 27, 2009
Dear Editor,
That Pat Forgione interview was Chronicle style [“Bringing the Group to the Vision,” News, Feb. 27]: It never sought input from those who pay his salary, was pretty congratulatory, and ignored every statistic for Austin Independent School District schools. So, I see all Austinites qualify for the Pendejo Excelsus Award for allowing outsiders to manipulate arts and science away from Hispanics and African-Americans in favor of Caucasians, break up Johnston High with the same purpose, increase drug proliferation inside LBJ High School, obliterate our children's minds – and their eventual extermination by policy – as they get pushed toward criminality for survival. (Check out the upcoming 2010 census, please.) The Chronicle needs to send Richard Whittaker for a take on actual taxpayers living around East Austin schools to write on the misery he's left behind.
