If DeKalb County Had One High School?

DeKalb County public schools were a trending subject across metro Atlanta on Wednesday. And not in a good way.

 

DeKalb County public schools were a trending topic across metro Atlanta on Twitter on Wednesday. And not in a good way, unfortunately.

The Twitter meme, #ifdekalbcountyhadonehighschool, caught on with hundreds (if not thousands) of the social media site's users across the metro area, all of them weighing in on what it would look like if DeKalb County had just one high school.

Many if not most of the tweets were too inappropriate to post on a family site such as this one. But I picked a few that passed my own test. Obviously, they're above in the Storify story. At least one Twitter user suggested that all the county's white parents would send their kids to St. Pius X Catholic High School or Marist. So, shout out to St. Pius... :-(

What do you think about the Twitter meme? Tell us in the comments section below.

It makes me want to leave Dekalb County, ASAP.

What happened to the petition?

That would be the last straw for me too. I'd leave and take the 14K I pay in taxes per year with me - after selling my highly devalued home.

It appears that most of the comments are from Dekalb County HS students. Their comments sadly reflect the divisiveness among our population and this is very troubling....J. Davis
