This controversy in a town close to me......

Oberlin - A black teacher will continue to teach African-American history at Oberlin High School, resolving an issue that has captured national attention.

The controversy began when a group of black parents learned this month that a white teacher might replace longtime teacher Kurt Russell, who is black. It prompted a loud debate about whether black teachers are more qualified than white teachers to teach African-American history. The Oberlin black parents said a black teacher brings more credibility, compassion and understanding to the topic than a white person can.
