Talk:Woodrow Wilson High School (Dallas)

message: Lakehill "had none" because its graduating senior class has 1/25th of the students that woodrow does so the apparent degredation toward a much smaller high school is unwarrented and should be taken out of this article.
I removed the parts about Jesuit, Bishop Lynch, Lakehill and First Baptist. I go to First Baptist, and I'd love to see some proof that we've gone a year without having any. And if that's the case, its due to the fact that there are about 70 students per grade. Woddrow, in comparison has thousands. Plus, Jesuit and BL massacre have about 250 per grade, so saying Jesuit has the same number means that Jesuit is massacring Woodrow when you take ration into account. Anyway, I made the edit because it wasnt NPOV.--Cronosquall 01:42, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article desperately needs sources and another once-over for neutral point of view issues. Let me state up front that I'm a grad of a different DISD high school — not a rival — but have no bias against Woodrow. In fact, there's more information we could add, if only we can get sources: In the 1980s, Woodrow was the setting for the filming of a lot of the TV-movie Crisis at Central High, for which I wrote an article today, and as for the musicals, in the 1980s they did a number of Cole Porter musicals, which is unusual for a modern high school (vs. the ever-popular Oklahoma and Fiddler mentioned in the article). The choreographer even used to travel to Texas from California just to do the shows every year. Unfortunately, I don't have published sources to cite for those lovely details, and until someone does, they're going to have to stay out of the article proper. My point: I've every desire to see a good article about Woodrow, but right now, this one leaves a lot to be desired and smacks of academic boosterism. Lawikitejana 05:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Fiddler.jpg

message: I searched the Dallas Morning News archive electronically regarding integration/desegregation, but could not confirm the article's claim that the school integrated "naturally." The 1980s period discussed in the article isn't covered by the electronic archive (for copyright reasons, they have two, one that ends at 1977 and another that begins in the early '90s), but the 1970s articles I've read so far specifically mention black students being assigned to Woodrow by court order in the 1970s, though in the articles I'm up to so far, from 1975, they were still trying to stave off the start of busing across the district.

replies: text: In this page it stated that high schools were not bussed since the court order did not require busing after the 8th grade. Therefore Woodrow Wilson did not have bussing integration. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
