Pictures/Special Ed
8/2/06
On 8/1/06 went to the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School Administration Building where a male with the last name of Lucus works; first encountered him about ten years ago when I was tying to get a job as a teacher; then realized that I had been dealing with his wife through a job training program with the city. As a result figured out that both of them were not for African Americans even though their skin color says Black.
On 8/1/06 went to the building; nobody was at front desk; went to the fourth floor=spoke to Lucus who again informed me that with a Sociology degree the ONLY and he emphasized ONLY area that I could teach in was Special education or LTD classes=classes for people who were mentally challenged or retarded. I asked for something in writing that stated that was the only area available for Sociology degrees=he said that there wasn't anything available in print that said that.
Since the lady from the substitute office wasn't there, I went to the second floor; I was going to get a bag of chips, but before I could Lucus came down the stairs to the third floor; stopped; told me that I needed to go to the second floor and HURRY and get a security pass before the guard came and escorted me out of the building=Have been dealing with them for over ten years=was the first time anybody told me that I needed a security pass. Lucus was doing it in a nasty spirit. I went downstairs to the second floor where the receptionist was sitting (after I asked her for a pass she got up and left and another white female came and sat behind the desk); in the meantime I was trying to operate the machine which would not produce a photo of me when I matched the button; I mashed the button twice and did not get a picture; so I asked her to write out a pass; then Lucus showed up; nasty attitude and told me to do it again=while he stood behind me(harassing); I took the picture with him standing behind me( neither of them told me what happen to the two other pictures).
Then I went back upstairs to speak with the lady in the subsitute office and when I asked for a copy of my record when I worked as a Substitute teacher=the lady in charge of the substitute office nearly had a fit and kept saying I don't see why you need something that says you were a substitute; what is the problem? An employer would send for something if they needed it and Why do you need it? After about a ten minute session going back and forth with her she gave me the statement.
Before she gave me the statement, she had sent me to the payroll office for me to get a copy of payroll record, which comfirmed that the last time I got a check from them was in 2002.
Then I went to their computer lab and asked to use one of their computers to fill out an application on line; while there I called one of the ladies (slim on the young side/white) and asked her a question. When she came up to me she had a long pair of black sizzors and kept playing with them in an intimadating manner. I just looked at her; after she answered the question, she went back to her desk. Later I asked if there was a pay phone, she offered the courtesy phone; which I used. Upon approaching the phone=above the phone were the words DIE /CUT= looked and her and she smiled.
Also while going back and forth up the stairs, Lucus and some short white male (who I later found out was an attorney that worked for the school system) kept following me up and down the stairs and as I went to the office(s) as directed by the school personnel.=(Harassment) They started following me after I asked for something in writing that stated that Sociology degrees could only teach special ed.
Also there was a lady by the name of Holloway who a Farrarr(sp) told me to go see that sits across from Lucus, who had already told me that I could teach as a History in High School or Social Studies teacher in Middle Grades. Lucus job for the school system is to keep certain Black out of the mainstream; along with making sure that anybody gifted as an African American is classified as retarded. In other words there are two systems for African Americans.
