Dear Benton Harborites more importantly to those who believed the hype and sent their children to Coloma, Berrien Springs, Lakeshore and Eau Claire schools:
If Benton Harbor High School dies it is because we have neglected and abandoned it. We believed the hype that Benton Harbor students were the worst performing in the state and nobody and nothing came out of Benton harbor High School. We were trained much like lab rats to believe Benton Harbor High school was inferior so we began to believe and act like the school system was inferior.
If Benton Harbor High School ceases to exist ,we are all guilty, and saying that the statistics are concocted or skewed is just the manipulative way to make those who make the decisions feel a little better about the murder.Systematically the problem has been created and the lie is that the state is reacting to the problem.
The issue of indebtedness is minor as the lottery was allegedly to help ailing schools. Well Benton Harbor is on Pallative care...come on Governor Whitmere..FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM... redistribute the debt, forgive the debt do whatever you must do.
I am holding you directly responsible for any closure...no deflection or hiding behind lame excuses.
