Rev. Kenneth Whalum, who is seeking re-election to the Memphis City Schools board, is abrasive, arrogant and unnecessarily confrontational.
His barely-there attendance at board meetings should embarrass him and those he's fooled into thinking he's doing his job.

Residents of East Jerusalem began voting with their feet when politicians began discussing the possibility of dividing Jerusalem prior to the Annapolis Conference in 2007. Only about 12,000 East Jerusalemites had applied for citizenship since 1967 (out of some 250,000), but 3,000 new applications flooded Israel's Ministry of Interior in the four months prior to the meeting (Ronny Shaked, "Thousands of Palestinians apply for Israeli citizenship," Ynetnews.com, November 7, 2007).
