Linda Christas ripoff Linda Christas has engaged in fraudulent business practices, and using skullduggery concerning a racially insensitive curriculum Sacramento Internet

As stated like a broken record over the past five years, the issues are ripping off $400 without rendering services, harassment and using lies and character assassination to cover up a flawed curriculum and fraudulent business practices. Who in the hell is Sarah Thompson and what does she claim to know of the events of five years ago? The answer is she is an email address used by the Dean of Linda Christas, Ron Bernard, an accomplished liar, rip-off artist and a renowned sleaze-ball.

Anyone who has read at least a few of these posts can easily discern that every reply/comment on Linda Christas' behalf says the exact same thing , yet all of those persons claim to be parents. So the questions that beg answers are: How do these parents claim to be privy to the facts of an internal school matter, if none of these parents serve in an official capacity? And, why would any paying customer parent be so passionate about an informal institution of distant learning, if it can be characterized as an institution of learning at all?

The only logical answer is still more fraud by sleazy Ron Bernard. My advise to Ron is to engage in the "three Rs"; no, not the traditional "three Rs" of Reading, wRiting and Rithmitic, but Retire, Repent and make Restitution. In that way perhaps he may be able to lower the temperature of that hot spot which awaits him in hell.

I have investigated this complaint.

The report that this gentleman is referring to is one that was approved by the University of Wisconsin in conjunction with Temple University.

The subsequent book was entitled Beyond the Classroom.

The book's main point is that everyone should to some degree take responsibility for their life situation. This gentleman believes that minorities in America are simply victims of the system and will never get ahead. (Ask President Obama about that.)

The gentleman was offered a full refund by a parent at the school, but he refused to accept it preferring to lend his name to eternal racial strife.

My daughter and I are so happy with Linda Christas.

They teach a very important lesson regarding taking personal responsibility for our lives, a lesson that this gentleman evidently failed to learn.

Who in God's Name is Rob? And what makes this Bozo privy to any alleged offer made to me by Linda Christas? Answer, Rob is sleaze-ball Ron Bernard attempting to use the anniversary of 9/11 to spread still more lies and continued racial discord.

Why does this deranged racist and hate-monger continue to flog the same old dead horse by whipping up the same old lies under the guise of a new name? There are no details hidden from what has already been reported in the two complaints filed on this site and those made known through xxxxxx.

Just when you think that sleazy Ron is somewhere hibernating like a reptile or has died and descended into hell, he manages to drop the bar still lower. I guess that I should not be surprised by this since he has already staged a round of lies and character assassination on Christmas day 2006. So why not on 9/11? There is consistency within his diseased mind.

In utter disgust,

I am writing this on the anniversary of 9/11.

Mr. Williams has been offered a full refund of his tuition. He has refused to accept the funds, and continues to malign this fine school simply because this is America and he can.

CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTION: In the spirit of the memory of 9/11, IF MR. WILLIAMS WILL SIMPLY ACCEPT THE REFUND HE HAS BEEN OFFERED AND APOLOGIZE FOR HIS UNFAIR AND INACCURATE RHETORIC REGARDING THIS GREAT SCHOOL, WE AS PARENTS OF LINDA CHRISTAS STUDENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATIVE.

Message to anyone reading this: Mr. Williams has termed Linda Christas a racist institution. Please look at the Advisory Board of Linda Christas. The presence of minority opinion on the Linda Christas Board is phenomenal. (Mr. Williams is black and charging that our children's school is racist. This is very wrong.)

A fool can be characterized as someone who repeatedly does the same thing, yet expects different results. Obviously, this latest foolish episode advanced by Dean of Linda Christas, Ron Bernard, still does not address the issues of the complaint that Linda Christas has engaged in fraudulent business practices by ripping-off a payment without rendering services, has contradicted its mission statement by engaging in racially insensitive skulduggery relative to its curriculum and has engaged in malicious and racist character assassination against the complainant.

All this nonsense about being accountable for racial conduct is not and has never been at issue, neither is agreement with Laurence Steinberg or anyone else an issue. Sleazy Ron must be operating under the premise that if he tells a lie long enough and persistently enough that it will somehow become believable.

"We've been at this racist game for fifty years now, and I believe America is sick to death of hearing it." Actually racism in America is about 400 years old. The best way to prevent hearing about it is to discontinue its practice. Apparently, to a racist and sleaze-ball, like Ron Bernard, discontinuing and avoiding racism is a lot easier said than done.

As 2007 approaches, Linda Christas should be circumspect of its past racist, sleazy and foolish conduct. If not, Linda Christas may be a former institution by 2008 and rightfully so.

Merry Christmas to you, Miles.

As a student from Wisconsin I am not in agreement with you at all that the book "Beyond the Classroom" is racist in any way.

That you would think so puts the complaint you make here suspect in my mind.

Why does somebody saying that people of all ethnicities should be held accountable for their behavior make it a racist work.

If you disagree with my university's report, why not do a study of your own.

From reading what is here on the site, I would say that you started this argument with reasons that only hurt black people of all ages, including me.

I think you owe this school an apology. You also owe me as a black man an apology.

As long as we as black people keep pretending that the white man is responsible for our suffering, the longer the suffering will go on.

Just look at what's happening in Somalia and Ethiopia. Ain't no white men there.

Also, since Mr. Mogabe threw the white farmers out of his country, the blacks are starving to death while Mogabe uses their former farms, not to grow food, but to vacation at.

Merry Christmas to you, Miles. But, my opinion of the study you condemn and the one that, as far as I can see here, is the reason for your being upset has nothing to do with racism. I suppose since I agree with the study, in your mind I'm a racist too.

Linda Christas is not in my opinion again owing you anything. Just the opposite.

I am kind of ashamed that there are still millions of black folks in this world who harbor the kind of resentment that you are displaying in your articles.

Look at the world around you, Miles.

I am a descendent of American slaves, and am very grateful my acestors were brought over here by the Dutch. Otherwise I might this day be in a Sudan "camp."

Not many people know this, but pirates on the Barbary coast brought twice the number of white slaves to Northern Africa during the 19th century than black slaves brought to America. For some reason, we never hear of that though. I guess it doesn't pay to emphasize reality when one is very race conscious, and is looking for reasons to hate the other guy.

Once again, I think you at least owe my university an apology, and certainly, the same for Linda, whose only crime seems to be that they support responsible parenting for all races.

Also, if the parents mentioned in this article want to reimburse you, why not just claim the reimbursement if that's what you think you deserve. I don't, but then again, I am only sorry to see an intelligent black person make the situation in this country worse. Until this kind of black rhetoric stops, the "grievance leadership" of Louis Farakhan and Jesse Jackson will continue.

I don't know about you, Miles, but I agree with Ward Connelly. It's time to stop looking to somebody else to "take care of us."

We've been at this racist game for fifty years now, and I believe America is sick to death of hearing it.

James Wisconsin Class of '09

If Ron Bernard has something to say let him come forward and address the complaint and stop communicating through proxy at best or fabrication at worst. He has had more than two years to act with integrity but has instead chosen to take the moral low ground, which this so-called conciliatory gesture is a perfect example of.

To date there has been no restitution made of the $400 that was ripped off without services rendered, no apology for defaming my character or for engaging in racially offensive conduct directed towards me.

As for the Rip-Off Report posting made by Gail Lombard or whomever based on lies and a racial attack, it is a negative reflection on Linda Christas as an institution and not on me as a victim. So it will take considerably more than grandiloquent rhetoric and posturing to convince me that Ron Bernard has departed from his well worn and well entrenched path of treading through and wallowing in sleaze.

Well, this is interesting.

Bill and I received a telephone call from Dean Ronald Bernard, Linda Christas, this evening.

He asked us politely to be kind to Mr. Williams.

Also, he has asked that Gail Lombard to request the Rip Off Report to remove her material regarding Williams Accountancy.

I am going to honor the Dean's request.

I know Gail, and will follow through with her as well.

The Dean is impressed with our loyalty, but at the same time, he is worried that this argument has gone way beyond reason.

The Dean told us that he supports the tuition reimbursement pledged to Mr. Williams by a Linda Christas parent if that's what he, Mr. Williams, really wants. He told us that Mr. Williams agreement doesn't call for reimbursement until the end of the Tier II course he was taking, but since Mr. Williams decided not to complete the course for whatever reason, resting on an original agreement or technicality, the Dean said, doesn't always work out well for all parties.

Kind of amazing to have someone like the Dean who has been attacked can turn the other cheek. I didn't realize there were still people like that in America. Bill, my husband with a career in law enforcement, says that that is the sign of a real man.

OK, so we are impressed. I can see why our kids are doing so well with that kind of leadership.

Maybe kindness is the way to go after all.

I will call Gail.

Summer

Hate? A comparison with Louis Farakan [sic]? Rage? You, like the institution that you are defending, stand condemned by your own racist words and deeds.

If you are indeed a real person and you give up, then keep your racist and bigoted lies and opinions to yourself. Whether you are real or a figment of a sick imagination is of no consequence to me or to the merits of my complaint. Real or imagined whoever is responsible for such sick and vile behavior should pull himself out of the mire of sleaze for the sake of the children who seem to always be mentioned without regards for the development of their impressionable minds. I give less than a d**n about any money being offered on conditions of silence or censorship and even less about what a depraved fool on the other side of the continent thinks about me.

Dear Miles (If I may call you Miles),

Once you have satisfied yourself that Jennifer has benefited grandly as a Linda Christas student, we understand that there is a second student who was given a big helping hand by Linda Christas also studying at St. Olaf.

He's from the People's Republic of China.

Ask Jennifer about him. His photo can also be seen on the Linda Christas web site. The school has an Asian branch in Shanghai doing great work, so that would at least be two students whose lives have been changed for the better by Linda Christas. And, with our two, that's four.

Are you interested in resolving this misunderstanding, Miles?

Summer and Bill

I give up,

There is no arguing with pure hate. But, if that gives you purpose have at it.

The man above has already offered to reimburse whatever small tuition has caused your outrage.

In the meantime, please see someone.

Or, as I expect, don't see someone, and go into another rage.

You are welcome to come to California to meet my so called shill family. In the meantime please don't judge the good parents who have had such good results with Linda Christas.

Take a look at the kids photos on the school's site Mr. Williams. Are these fake kids also.

I have written to the student of the year for 2005, Jennifer Fagre. Why don't you do that before condemning this fine school some more.

You really are doing the world a disservice here, and the sad part is that you think you are right.

Who is it who goes into these same kinds of rages, I think, Louis Farakan? Are you associated with him?

Summer the so-called satisfied parent from Sacramento, CA, like the the preceding shills engaging in lies and character assassination who pretend to know the issues but who refuse to acknowledge Linda Christas' fraudulent business practices and its wanton racist policies and deviation from its mission statement which have been clearly set forth by numerous documents put forward on behalf of Linda Christas in the written chronology contained on the website youbethejudge.info. Linda Christas stands condemned by its own words and deeds and not by any accusations made by the complainant.

It has now becomes quite obvious that there are no parents that are so passionate about this corrupt and misguided institution which would warrant that lies and disinformatrion have to be concocted in order to protect it. These damnable lie are hatched by the arch sleaze-ball Ron Bernard while pretending to be parents from various part of the country. What parent in his or her right mind has time to plead the case of an organization when the issues involved have nothing to do with that parents particular situation? Yet sleaze-ball Ron would lead you to believe that parents are concerned with Linda Christas' web image. If these parents are real and are truly concerned about Linda Christas' web image they should convince sleaze-ball Ron to climb out of his cesspool of lies, scams, fraud and racism.

As a parent of two kids at Linda Christas, I am amazed at what this man has written.

I even purchased the study he is referring to.

I read the book, and for the life of me, I can't see anything but quotes from all ethnic communities in there.

The author makes no statements of his own. He just quotes hundreds of interviews from 20,000 kids and their attitudes and take on their study situation. It's just common sense.

The message is basically no matter what color a parent, he or she is reponsible for their own kids. If that's racist, then I guess I'm racist.

The time has passed when folks of any color can get away with blaming others for their situation.

The black kids I have met at Linda Christas, most of who are on scholarship, are polite, smart and going places.

I haven't seen any of the sense of being a victim of someone or some thing that this gentleman, seems to somehow think that Linda Christas supports.

If this gentleman doesn't care for the Temple University study, so be it, but to react as if the study was somehow biased or prejudiced is just silly I think.

But, in America and somehow throughout the world, today we have people who unless then have someone to hate, they lose purpose in life, and I think that's what's happening here.

This man seems to have made an agreement with my kids' school, misinterpreted a study during his course to be qualified, and then blamed everything on the school, when in fact, everything that was going on seems to be in this gentleman's imagination.

But, if indeed he is so offended by what I believe to be a reasonable and thorough university study, where are his comments regarding Temple or the Univ of Wisconsin or the team who wrote the report. Why take such rage out on my children's school when, at least the people I've met, couldn't be less prejudiced or biased.

I bet Linda Christas has done a lot more good for the black community than this gentleman ever dreamed of doing, and certainly I have to say that it's too bad that this web site gives voice to such people. It's thinking like this that is causing such bloodshed in the Middle East.

When people begin thinking, feeling and, especially acting, like this gentleman, we end up with death squads like we are seeing in Basra.

Thank the good Lord that there are more reasonable people of all colors in the United States than there are the Miles' of the world.

I do hope that at some point in the future, he will look at what he is doing and repent of his ways.

All I can say in conclusion is that Linda Christas is a wonderful school, treats my kids like gold, and has offered them so much more opportunity than they would have had otherwise.

If I had the power, I would not allow this gentleman to say these things, untrue and unfair as they are.

I'll sign this as Happy to have Found Linda Christas, and I hope during this holiday season that the love and caring that Linda Christas stands for can somehow find its way into this gentleman's heart.

Management at Linda Christas must really be desperate if they have to engage liars who, claim to be parents, for the purpose of pretending to know the facts about an incident that took place more than two years ago which is well documented on the website youbethejudge.info with a plethora of written correspondence from Linda Christas officials and a timeline/chronology that cannot be refuted by johnny-come-lately liars. These parent/liars on one hand claim that its is obvious that the complainant does not make a case for his claims; while on the other hand they are interested in purchasing silence through the shut-down of a website or removal of material that they find offensive.

Their lie and hypocrisy speak for themselves and warrant no further comment. It appears that Ron Bernard's sleaz is contagious and infects anyone who comes in contact with his corrupt organization, including parents. I pity the children who have liars, hypocrites and sleaz-balls for parents, like Buth Haliran and Mike from Leominster, MA.

Mr. Miles evidently purchased a program from Linda Christas having been informed up-front that the School would have to pay a nonrefundable retainer of $400 to the professor delivering the program. The instructor was not a Linda Christas employee. Mr. Miles agreed to this arrangement.

Once the course had begun, and Mr. Miles had completed 20% of the work given by the independent instructor, Mr. Milles took exception to a study released by Temple University and the University of Wisconsin called "Beyond the Classroom" which has been endorsed by the majority of black intellectuals in the United States.

Evidently, Mr. Miles put on quite a show about the KKK, etc. (Of course, the Temple University study only talks about the conditions in our society that encourage good parenting, and says nothing derogatory about the black two parent community at all. As a matter of fact, the parenting SYLE of the black two parent community in the study was found to be better than many other minority groups. (It is the black peer groups and the single mother parenting that in many cases are hurting the chances of black teenagers to excel. Anyone who reads the news can't help but come to that conclusion, and black two parent families throughout the nation have asked for more law enforcement to curb the growing black gang problem. Black on black and brown on black homicide now is the top killer of black men under 35.)

Having been put off by the study, Mr. Miles decided even though he understood that Linda Chrsitas was simply a pass through for the course, that since he, Mr. Miles, didn't care for the Temple study, he would demand a refund of his $400 tuition from, yes, Linda Christas.

When Linda Christas reminded Mr. Miles of his agreement, that made no impression on him at all.

And, then Mr. Miles demands and threats to the School began.

Any reasonable consumer making a call here would understand that Mr. Miles has no case at all.

Not only is Linda Christas not racist, and is supported by the black community, but they informed Mr. Miles up front about the conditions of the program he was purchasing.

If in America one can still be subject to such abuse while conducting a straight forward program as Linda Christas presents to the public, we are truly a sick society.

Buth Halliran
Parent of Three Full Scholarship Students at Linda Christas

My position has been made clear through the website, youbethejudge, as well as to Ron Bernard and Otto Benchley. If these so-called parents spent more time reading and less time passing judgment they may know the facts.

As a matter of principal, I am not making any deals in order to obtain funds that were fraudulently taken by Linda Christas without services rendered. Restitution has nothing to do with anything posted that may offend Linda Christas. If Linda Christas is concerned about its image its should not engage in fraudulent business practices and unseemly and sleazy conduct.

If parents want to pay to have a website removed then they should be willing to pay the cost of registering domains, for the time spent responding to lies and character assassination, as well as for the cost of web hosting for several years, in addition to the $400 that was ripped-off. Otherwise, these parents should crawl back under the judgmental rock that they emerged from.

You can see here what the Linda Christas Help Desk Sent to this guy. I was willing to pay this guy off. I hate to see this kind of thing about my kids school. At any rate, the guy is hopeless.

Butch

Sorry Mr. Hxxx, But this is the response we got from Miles. We're afraid he's a bit beyond our help:

To Whom It May Concern:

It is a foolish mind that does not know the difference between a complaint and an advertisement. Indeed, it is an even more foolish mind that insists on continuing to make the same empty offer that has been rejected more than once in the past.

If Linda Christas wants to make restitution for its fraud, then it is welcome to do so. However, I will neither apologize for any comments contained in any previously filed complaints nor will I remove or retract any previously posted statements.

I am considerably less than amused and quite irritated that Linda Christas and its supporters are not content to live with the consequences of their own actions, but instead continue to posture in a self-righteous manner as if they are innocent victims. Please refrain from wasting my time with any more of your arrogant and foolish nonsense.

With contempt,

Miles

Mike from Leominster, MA, who seems to think that he is in touch with reality, has launched into a personal testimonial on behalf of Linda Christas. However, the reality of the situation is that Mike needs to work on his reading comprehension. This is not a message board or forum for making self-serving and biased comments.

Who cares what his opinion is if it not relevant to the issues of Linda Christas engaging in fraudulent business practices, having a racially insensitive curriculum and acting contrary to its mission statement. The composition of its Advisory Board, which has not been divulged, and who the the chairmanship is named for, even if true, is irrelevant to the issues contained in the Rip-off Report.

"How can we even use the term 'racist' in the same sentence as Linda Christas unless we have lost touch with reality." Mike or anyone else who aids, abets and defends the actions of a racist and corrupt organization like Linda Christas was never in touch with reality in the first place -- at least not a reality conceived in integrity.

I'm not really sure what the fuss is all about, but I can tell you that my three kids have been with Linda Christas for two years on full scholarship. It's really hard to rip off a family by teaching three students for free wouldn't you say, folks?

Sorry to see this kind of thing.

Linda Christas is also the only school in the United States (to my knowledge) that "gurantees" their AP English and AP Calculus courses.

Further, all my contacts from Linda Christas teachers have been of the highest quality. They all have state credentials that can be verified.

Finally, if anyone will just look at the people on the Linda Christas Advisory Board, you can see that all racial groups are represented. And, these are not just any people. They are prominent people from the black as well as other communities.

Even Pat Boone accepted an honorary chair at Linda Christas. The chair was established in the name of a black concert pianist, John William Boone. How can we even use the term "racist" in the same sentence as Linda Christas unless we have lost all touch with reality.

I've also spoken with Dean Bernard, and I have to say that a kinder, more intelligent man I have never spoken with.

I am not kissing up here. But, facts are facts.

Not only is Mr. Blanchard's comments not in the least bit relevant to Linda Christas' fraudulent business practices, a racially insensitive curriculum, not adhering to its mission statement and crass lies and deception to cover-up these matters, but he has been so hypocritical as to pretend that he has done research to support his biased remarks. Since Linda Christas is a nationnwide organization the California Better Business Bureau would not divulge the entire scope of its operations. In fact the complainaint filed a BBB complaint, on July 21, 2004, concerning Linda Christas as a nationwide not-for-profit organization. Needless to say, Linda Christas made no effort to resolve that complaint, neither has the BBB done a follow-up. Fortunately, for the Complainant, he had the knowhow to launch the website youbethejudge.info and to file this ripoff report.

Additionally, Gail Lombard designated herself as "Working with Linda Christas" and not a Webmaster as you are suggesting. If she is indeed a PTA Officer, she could have admitted as much, rather than misrepresenting herself and what she claimed to be privy to. Having espoused these misrepresentations of the truth you have destroyed your own credibility and would lead an ojective observer to believe that you are just another one of Ron Bernard's shills and dupes.

Since Linda Christas is a nationnwide organization the California Better Business Bureau would not divulge the entire scope of its operations. In fact the complainaint filed a BBB complaint, on July 21, 2004, concerning Linda Christas as a nationwide not-for-profit organization. Needless to say, Linda Christas made no effort to resolve that complaint, neither has the BBB done a follow-up. Fortunately, for the Complainant, he had the knowhow to launch the website youbethejudge.info and to file this ripoff report.

Additionally, Gail Lombard designated herself as "Working with Linda Christas" and not a Webmaster as you are suggesting. If she is indeed a PTA Officer, she could have admitted as much, rather than misrepresenting herself and what she claimed to be privy to.

I wanted to place before the public the results of my due diligence regarding Linda Christas. I had some trouble finding the people and certificates involved, but when I did, I was very surprised with the results. I expected to discover the bad guys. Instead, I found some need to know information that anybody wanting to do business with Linda Christas should be award of.

So here is what I found out:

BBB California - There was one complaint from a Southern woman who didn't like the name of the School. She had never used their service but wanted to register a complaint anyway because she thought the name was too religious (??????). There was also one complaint from a guy who decided after ordering the School to hire someone to present him a course that he didn't want to pay for it after all, even though Linda Chrsitas had evidently advanced money from it's account in good faith. Incredibly, Linda Christas not only reimbursed his money, but paid the teacher as well. In other words, as I understood the situation, the man asked that Linda Christas retain the services of a professor for him, they paid the professor, and then the man, basically said, NEVERMIND, I've changed my mind. No other BBB complaints in fifteen years. I found that particularly impressive, since some of the brand name companies and schools have cart loads of complaints registered against them, especially in California.

Los Cerritos News, The Argus Newspapers, WMAL Radio (New York), WATN Radio (Washington D.C.), Public Broadcasting System: WNPE - WNPI. Everything Christian Magazine (Linda Christas is not affiliated with any specific organized religion);Public Television, Channel 5 (Connecticut). Curious Parents Magazine.Again, only the best word about Linda Christas from these sources.

Linda Christas Advisory Committee shown at lindachristas.org. I checked with only two of these people and they had nothing but sincere praise for Linda Christas. I tend to give more credence to these people because they aren't being paid to support Linda Christas. For me, that's the best kind of endorsement.

Academic Dean: State of California master teaching credential number 30568 - In good standing with the State for 35 years.

P.S. I know the woman who originally rebutted Mr. Williams' message. I talked with her yesterday. She says that she never claimed to be a Linda Christas employee. She is, however, one of the Linda Christas PTA officers. Just to set the record straight. She gave me permission to do that. So if the web master wants to change her designation to Conumer Comment, that would be
fine with her.

What better typifies a partisan dupe hurling insults and racial epithets, than the discursive reasoning and the asinine lies offered by this so-called "proud black" person? She doesn't seem proud enough to identify the capacity in which she is employed by Linda Christas.

She claims to know the Complainant but nothing can be further from the truth. The Complainant has never heard of her, has never spoken to her in person or by telephone and he has never corresponded with her in writing.

The issues that she has raised have nothing to do with the merits of the complaint. Instead, her comments like those of Dean Ronald Bernard and Ann Voisin are focused on red herring issues such as black teenage pregnancy and religion and not on ripping-off funds without providing services or not adhering to the institution's mission statement.

Worst of all she has resorted to the lowest and most vile form of character assassination which is to accuse the Complainant of being "an extreme black Muslim" and the type of person "responsible for 911." Needless to say I do not have an Arabic name nor have I had or have any religious affiliations with Islam. Her ignorant and malicious demagoguery is not only an affront to the Complainant but is also meant as the ultimate insult to Muslims and to Islam. To date and to my knowledge there has been no passenger manifest, no recovered body and no conviction that can implicate any Muslim in involvement related to the events of 911.

Because this so-called proud black woman has neither identified her role with the institution nor has she put forward anything that would remotely shed light on the merits of the complaint, the complainant can discern the sordid fingerprints of Dean Bernard in all of this. What better typifies sleaze and corruption and racially insensitive skulduggery?

I know the person, Miles Williams, who has written this hateful material about Linda Christas.

I am also a black person, but I am willing to allow that some black families don't take responsibility for their situation.

Before the New Deal, for example, black teenage pregnancy rates were lower than that of whites. But now, fully 80% of all pregnancies among black women between the ages of 15 and 24 are to unmarried individuals.

Miles Williams objects to a study done by Temple University and three other schools that talks about the issues of parenting as that applies to the black community.

As a black woman, I fully support this report which was coordinated by Dr. Laurence Steinberg, a noted and respected scholar.

If anyone has any doubts in terms of the instability of Mr. Miles Williams or his racial bigotry, all one needs to do is correspond with him for a few minutes.

You will find him to be a very sick person who, if given any power in America, would do exactly to whites every evil thing he attributes to white on black activity.

Mr. Williams is the kind of fellow who promotes racial tension in the tradition of the extreme black Muslim movement. We surely do not need the internet giving voice to more racial hatred, especially aimed at a school, Linda Christas, that promotes more black people than many black owned businesses.

It is people like Miles Williams who were responsible for the death of Malcolm. And, people like Miles Williams who were responsible for 9/11.

We must put hatred based on religion and racial identity behind us if this world is ever going to know a day of peace.
