Private school debt and segregation in Prince Edward County
A reader argues that privately financed schools facing debt risk closure, and warns that Prince Edward County’s segregated private system is unreliable. The letter praises Southern teachers but condemns sacrificing children for politics, likening the situation to the Old Testament tale of Solomon and two mothers. The writer urges teachers to seek fair pay and working conditions elsewhere if needed.
