I went to Bayside High School from 1967 to 1970. The first year, things were great. Bayside was one of the best schools, academically, in New York City. The second year, NYC began a busing program, after which the school went from eight percent black to 55 percent black. With another 15 percent Hispanic, that left us whites at about 30 percent. Everything changed. It became more important to bring a switchblade to school than a pen. Fights, mob violence, disruptive behavior. robberies, drugs, vandalism even rapes became common place. The teachers were victims, too. You didn’t dare go into a restroom without several buddies with you. Blacks constantly disrupted classes like a bunch of zoo animals. This denied other students their education. It was obvious that blacks do not value education, not any that I met.
