Carver Faculty Disturbed
By Sentinel Editorial
By Yvonne Anderson
Staff Writer
Faculty and students al
Carver High Sciiool art
fuming over an editoria!
written in the Dec. 14 edi
tion of the Winston-Salem
Sentinel in which reference
is made to a drug problem
at he school.
The unsigned editorial, en
titled “A Workable Plan,”
addresses the four-year high
school transition plan sub
mitted by Superintendent oi
Schools James A. Adamr
and highlights problems left
unanswered by the schoo
board’s proposals. But the
article also mentions a drug
problem at Carver,“Publit
suspicion is sure lo lingei
over the classroom environ-
mcni al Carver,” it says.
“where drugs have beer
acknowledged to be a pro
blem. Special efforts wif
have to be made to over
come such sensitive dif
ficulties.”
Thirty-nine Faculty
members signed a Dec. If
letter to the Sentinel staling
that they resented the im
plications of the editorial.
“We think we have a good
school as evidenced by oui
athletic and academic
achievements,” the Jet lei
reads. “We work IfaW-fc’’^”
provide a classroom enviro
ment in which learning i;
encouraged and achieved
We challenge you to com
pare our records-includinj
our drug records-to the
other schools.”
“1 thought it was very un
fair unless somebody car
support this statemcnl
said E. R. Parker, Carvci
principal. “I would like k
see the factual evidence lhai
the article is ba.sed on.”
But both the publisher ol
the Sentinel, Joe Doster ant
the editor who wrote the ar
ticle, John Falls, insist thal
the article was only citing
problems in the genera
school system that must bt
addressed'in the fonr-yeai
plan.
“We don’t think thal
Carver has any more of ;
problem than the olhei
.schools,” said Doster. “Wc
Jusi feel lhal ihe schoo
board has a false opinioi
and thal these are thing!
that need lo be addressee
and corrected.”
