You all are shameable because youre hurting my children. Reporter dr. Kevin maxwell insists an internal investigation is underway, and policies are under review, but for some, thats not enough.

Reporter edward burros is questioning if the abuse went beyond the Head Start Program into other district classrooms, addressing a another board member, the embattled maxwell attempted to battle back. Im black you are disappointed mr. Blocker, but you should wait until you have all the facts to be disappointed.
