[edit] Unsubstantiated post

This town is the most DIVERSE in the South Shore with 70% African Americans and 20% White and 10% of different origins. Randolph has the most students in schools that are in the ESL program which helps students who can't speak english.

THE ABOVE POST WAS DELETED BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE VERIFIED BY ANY RELIABLE SOURCE.

I'm not sure where documentation could be found, maybe the last census results, but I'm pretty positive that Randolph is by no means 70% African American. At one time, I do remember reading in the Patriot Ledger that Randolph was the most diverse community in Massachusetts, meaning it had the largest diversity of different cultures, not the largest percentage of minorities. I don't know who wrote this article, but they're way off.

[edit] Biased

The school system, as well as it's governing body, the School Committee, have long been recognized for their ineptitude and blatant disregard for the well-being of the school community. Residents are somewhat to blame here, for most are poor and will not vote on school funding overrides. Free lunch and lunch tickets are a large portion of the school costs, although most families abuse the system.

I deleted this post, it seems biased.

It is. tomtom22


All of those comments can be found in the Patriot Ledger. I remember reading them in a weekend edition of the Ledger in April 2006. Did you bother to look it up before you just went and deleted it? I grew up in Randolph. i went through the Randolph Public School System. BOTH ARE TRUE!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.133.168.252 (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion these statements are true, but that's all they are, POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.143.47 (talk) 22:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
