AS a resident of the Berkley School District I must clear something up about its demographics.
The school district encompasses three adjoining towns. Berkley is one of them; its ethnic makeup may be as stated in Q's posting of Nov. 18. The other two towns are:
Huntington Woods, about 50 percent Jewish and with one of the highest rates of folks with college and advanced degrees in the whole USA.
Part of Oak Park, also about 50 percent Jewish, and with more African Americans.
Although most of the Huntington Woods and Oak Park kids attend Norup Middle School, which is in Oak Park, this issue involves the whole school district.
Peace's crack about the "Horst Wessel Song" is far from the mark, and uncharacteristically ignorant.
