Can anyone verify the veracity of the prior note claiming that Malcolm X attended Westside. I had not heard this previously. If it were true, Dr. Don Meredith would have mentioned it every third sentence...

That said, I'd like to include some material that details the unique circumstances of Westside/District 66 with respect to the Omaha school district, especially in relation to the recent Elkhorn brou-ha-ha. I would like to learn more about the history of the district and whether or not it existed as a de-facto whites only school during the 1950s and 1960s.

Ernie Chambers did not go to Westside either, he went to Central. Neither did Malcolm X. Malcolm X moved away from Omaha when he was 2 years old, look it up. Either someone has rocks for brains or someone is just playing pranks. Grow up.

And Dr Meredith is condescending and boring.

The Ernie Chambers thing might be a misunderstanding. His brother was the guidance counselor at Paddock Road Elementary, which is in the Westside district. --Infosocialist 11:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Is the show choir part necessary? There are tons of organizations at Westside, many of which are nearly as successful at a regional/national level, and having all of them on there would make the page into one gaint clusterfuck.
