1996Year For years, there has been both underlying and overt racial tension in Community School District 28. And when a black school board member told black parents last week that white officials want "a return to the whip, the ball and the chain," it was clear that things had gone from bad to worse. At issue was a black principal appointed last September to Junior High School 8, one of the district's most troubled schools. The board's white majority approved by 7 to 2 a resolution allowing, but not requiring, the district superintendent to dismiss the principal, Jermaine Garden, if student achievement does not improve.
