the naacp, the new director really has made this an important issue, and that is what is going to take. we could run down the list of all the great things there are to do, but we have to push back on this kind of hysteria on crime, and it takes leadership to do it -- it takes individuals, all of us, to do it as well, to put pressure on leaders, but it takes real leadership to do that. that is how i would put it together all in one place. >> in the vein of what is hopeful, and there is a reentry coordinating council in san francisco and also one in alameda county. what has been helpful to me is i think that overwhelmingly, we have this being tough on crime problem as opposed to being smart on crime, but i think that even in places where you would not expect it, people are starting to make the connection. for example, a lieutenant from the sheriff's department in alameda county is one of the most consistent and supported participants in the coordinating council for reentry in alameda county. i would say it is an unlikely ally, and i'm sure that we are lucky in his leadership and support.

naacp's considered judgment is that whenever people given knee- jerk response when violence happens, if you give kids something to do, we will not have this happen. that is not necessarily so. you have people that are professional criminals. we know who they are. the d.a. and police department know who they are. our concern ought to be to put this into perspective and focus on those persons who are professional, career criminals who have terrorized communities, all crcommunities. i hope, pray, and appealed to you, and control you -- cajole you members of the press that the recent spat of crime against asians is not traditional. crime exists everywhere. we must turn to each other and work together on this issue of people or opportunistic clique committing acts of violence -- the people who are committing opportunistic acts of violence. blacks and hispanics are more likely to be victims of crime in this city than other ethnic groups. if you would get that out there, it would help us to make sure the people take advantage of opportunities and not have any excuse to the perpetrator of vi

a think the naacp has conducted of it before. the kids who move across town on the side to the west side have not had a good experience. they felt they were second-class citizens. they were socially isolated. with this integration, this really provides the opportunity and justification to raise quality in east side schools. i do not think the policy that exists now in which the lowest performing schools have the least experienced teachers should continue. thank you. >> i am the parent of a kindergarten girl who is currently unassigned. i want to reiterate the comments about the intent of making it certainty more of a feeling for parents next year. looking at the map and listening to comments in the neighborhood, there are five schools close to me. i see no certainty that if my girls were in kindergarten and the mixture that i would be assigned to one of those schools. i do not think we are accomplishing anything as far as a neighborhood schools as far as i can tell. thank you. >> i am also a apparent at mckinley school. people kn
