Gardner Street Elementary School is undergoing a most unusual soul searching this week, weighing whether to break a symbolic link with pop star Michael Jackson, whose name is on the auditorium of the Hollywood campus. howardblume reports:
when they were children. Jackson was never charged with molesting either.
Their presence at Gardner represents something of a middle-class resurgence at the diverse campus, where families speak languages from across the globe and range widely across the spectrum of prosperity. Voting among parents began on April 10 and 11 and will resume on Wednesday and Thursday. Staff members have been able to vote by picking up ballots in the office.
So indeed was Jackson, when he enrolled after his family moved in 1969 from Gary, Ind., to Los Angeles. Family members were staying in the nearby home of famed Motown president Barry Gordy Jr. The youngest Jackson attended school only briefly before the Jackson Five — comprised of Jackson and four older brothers — scored a hit record — and that was it for public school.
