I’m staying away from this thread…as ‘serial number’ took shots at me and that’s how everything spiraled outta control and caused the OT to be deleted.
Enjoy everyone.
ENY,
From the ‘Brownsville’ entry on wikipedia. I had read some of this stuff before when reading about john Lindsay:
“In 1968 Brownsville was the theater for a protracted and highly contentious teacher strike.[5] The Board of Education had experimented with giving the people of the neighborhood control over the school. The new administration laid off several teachers in violation of union contract rules. The teachers were all white and mostly Jewish, and the resulting strike served to badly divide the whole city. The resulting strike dragged off and on for half a year, becoming known as one of the “Ten Plagues” of John Lindsay.”
To what event exactly are you referring? My Mom will know about it because she was a schoolteacher in Brownsville in the 1970s and early 1980s. But it doesn’t ring a bell for me.
chicken, BRG????

Biff…I thought he was hot in that role but Emilio Estevez was way hot too. I like it when I can talk guy eye-candy with a straight guy.
Is this getting too racy for the Forum OT????? Would it actually be appropriate for the regular OT in this New OT World we now live in???
“Ocean Hill-Brownsville schools controversy”?
