I think this is an excerpt from the upcoming book penned by local blogger Joe who runs KC Soil. Whatever it is, it's brilliant and provides a great history of KC and its crappy school district.

Update: However, it just occurred to me that I've talked with and heard stories about a great number of local Latino students who regularly get their ass kicked by those poor disenfranchised black kids which Joe laments. I know that some of them would run away from the KC School district if they could, but they can't . . . so they usually just drop out at a rate of nearly 50%. For Latino kids and parents in the KC school district, it's hard to blame the white people hiding in Johnson County for the horrendous condition of KC public schools that are dominated by KC's African-American community.

Update #2: And then I think . . . Nah, I'd rather just blame the white people in Johnson County. Yeah, fuckers! I'm dating your daughter. How do you like that? She pays for our dates too.
