:25:00
You're a fascist,
clark!
:25:02
Our kids don't
deserve this!
:25:04
Some of them
are smart.
:25:06
They're just
discouraged
:25:07
about their chances
out there,
:25:09
what kind of jobs
they got waitin'.
:25:11
Now what kind of
chance do they have?
:25:15
He insulted the black
football coach.
:25:18
The man's gone crazy.
:25:20
He's declared war
on his own people.
:25:22
Remember,
miss barrett,
:25:24
mr. Clark
was nice enough
:25:26
to come to this
emergency meeting
:25:28
after a very
trying day.
:25:30
I think we owe him
a chance to respond.
:25:42
They say
:25:44
one bad apple
spoils the bunch.
:25:47
Man: My son
ain't no bad apple!
:25:49
Well, what about 300?
:25:53
Rotten to the core.
:25:57
Now, you're right,
mrs. Barrett.
:25:59
This is a war.
:26:02
It's a war to save
2,700 other students,
:26:05
most of whom don't have
the basic skills
:26:08
to pass the state exam.
:26:10
Now, if you want
to help us, fine.
:26:13
Sit down with your kids
and make them study.
:26:17
Go get your families
off welfare.
:26:19
How dare you talk
about welfare!
:26:21
Give our children
some pride.
:26:23
Let them get their
priorities straight.
:26:29
When dr. Napier
came to me
:26:31
offering this job,
:26:33
i saw the lightning flash.
:26:35
All right!
:26:37
I heard the thunder roll!
:26:39
Give it to 'em!
:26:41
I felt breakers crashing,
swamping my soul.
:26:43
We are not in church,
mr. Clark!
:26:47
I fell down
on my knees...
:26:50
and i cried,
"my god...
:26:52
why has thou
forsaken me?"
:26:55
Tell 'em
about it.
:26:56
And the lord said,
"joe, you're no damn good."
