HIGH FOIST, A.C. THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1970 PAGE 3 FASCISM AT CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL oe Malcolm said, “If George Wash- ington didn't get independence for this country nonviolently a Patrick Henry didn’t come up with 2 nonviolent statement and you taught me te look upou thei as patriots and heroes thea its time for you to realize that I have studied your books well.” ‘The schoo] faculty at High Point Central High School is very racist. It all started at the beginning of the school year when bro?!ers and sisters were trying to polt- Ucally educate the students to the fact that they should be able to . learn their true history and should be able to chouse their own cur- riculum, They had been opposed in their efforts to get the cur- riculum they wanted by dog Jerry Shoavers the principal. Larry Medley, one of the brothers, trying tcinitiate thechange was approacked and threatened by pig Shoavers, he was told that if he continued to try to politically educate the Black students, he would be thrown out of school. But this did not dis- courage the brother, because he is strong in his beliefs, After this incident Larry and two other bro- thers (George Dewitt and William Douglass), went to the office to talk to the principal about the crap that he was handing down. Their rap to the foo! about getting Black studies was so streng that the Principal called them Black Pan- After seeing that he couldn't stop them, he moved to kick 1 out of school on trumped up charges. After the brothers were kicked out, a boot- licking guidunce counselor told George that he should go ta law school to become a lawyer, be- cause he was a “heavyrapper”’. Mter the brothers were told to deave the school grounds, pig Shoavers had the Chief of the Pigs (Prichett) to follow them around like dogs; the excuse for this action was suspicion of them being Black Panthers, How can they be Panthers, when there are no Panthers in Wigh Point? So pigs, Shoavers and Prichett, harassed and intimidated the ‘Students of the school to try to get information on the brothers to see if they really were Black Pan- thers. One of the brothers who played football, Eugene, was hacassed by Prichett and the bro= ther had te stop Playine foorball. The brother {s now planning to leave the school. * Shoaver’s true fascist colors showed throah oace again by in= timidatit and harassing two sisters, NeNe were expeHed, Shoaver called Dora into his office and questioned her about her political beliefs. They were asked questions such as ‘Do you believe in the Panthers, Waat do you have to do bad to become a Panther, Are Larry and George Panthers, Why does your mother let Larry drive her car7 etc. This doy has been intimidating other students in the s2ine manner asking them questions about Larry, George, Dora and NeWNe, they are also threatening to put the students out of school if they don’t answer, Peoplet How many more students will you let Shoaver put out before you rise up and see justice done? The next persoa could be you. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Dora Gray George Dewitt day before Dora and” ccc eee ee ee ae en ee ete nate
