<p>As I read this article, I found it to be about building role models for the future.</p>
<p>Many comments focused on why this school made 100%, usually negatively. Some took issue with it being a charter school. And so on.</p>
<p>I don’t care how they did it. Success is contagious. It’s about time that we had role models in the black community other than rock stars, athletes, and other exceptional careers. Role models should include an ever-increasing number of doctors, scientists, business leaders, and the like.</p>
<p>The same logic applies to every community, every group, however defined. Every young child should be able to see “someone like me” succeeding in a way that “I can too.” Our society should make sure that the path to that success is not needlessly blocked.</p>
