Race War in High School was undertaken to tell what happened at just one of the countless American schools where integration didn't work. Didn't work because those who posed as the champions of justice wouldn't let it. The cast of characters in the tragic story of Franklin K. Lane High School, an integrated public high school in Brooklyn, New York, includes militant black students, panic-stricken whites, opportunistic politicians, adult agitators, irresponsible school bureaucrats, and angry teachers -—all caught up in a conflagration of their own making and rendered helpless to control events leading to the destruction of the educational process.
The author would confess at the outset that his work is definitely a biased one—biased against hate, crime, terror, and all forms of physical and psychological abuse perpetrated by one group against another. The events are described as they happened. Names were not changed to protect the innocent—or the guilty. The analyses of these events stem in large part from the author's own experiences as a participant in the story, and he willingly assumes the responsibility for conclusions that may be distasteful, indeed bitter, to some readers.
