Joe Clark Interview - Pt.2 (1 of 8)

[@jesseeayala1616]

That was my principal! Class of 1989. He was tough but he was fair and valued hard work. May he continue to Rest In Power!!

[@grussem]

Joe Clark is an American hero!

[@therldrewduncan]

They kept interrupting him because they couldn't get the answers they wanted. Truth is a tough pill to swallow. He got results. Honestly, there should be more educators like, Mr. Clark.

[@jimbeam3783]

This man is extremely intelligent. We need more role models like him.

[@BrianFields-yv7gd]

Exactly and to put the icing on the cake to how joe iz controling the whole situation on how the interveiwer trying to get joe mad and joe reversung it every single time and that guy is dumb enough not realizing that joe flipped the script on him

[@goodtalker]

Joe Clark reminds me of my 8th grade Science teacher, a retired USMC Officer. My dad told me once, "Son, I don't give a damn if you aren't interested in biology. You are going to learn how to behave and that's more important."

[@nlee4566]

This is truth. Respect and proper behavior is most important.

[@ricomajestic]

@@nlee4566 Isn't that your mom and dad's primary responsibility? To teach you how to behave around other people.

[@scoutman]

@@ricomajestic its everyones responsibilty to show kids which path to go by.

[@ccth22]

Mr. Clark got results and he was a fair man. Although I wasn’t @Eastside I used to see him in South Orange and Maplewood often and he was always encouraging...

[@ericwilson4901]

Black men wasn't leaving our homes willing. A lot of them where put in prison with lengthy drug sentences due to unfair laws. Preventing us from being there in the home with our families. Let's keep it real America!!

[@Briguy75]

Joe Clark passed away yesterday, December 29, 2020. RIP sir :(

[@hedanhercules]

[@charliebritger4622]

Godspeed !

[@btobeasoc1725]

An American hero for sure

[@mrfxtrade]

Joe~ I'm with you! Keep doing Great things!

[@victormalyar9200]

yo! Joe!

[@doniezzi6474]

The U S A NEEDS MORE JOE CLARKS

[@lancehood7916]

I totally love it. I Dont agree with bashing ppl publically as far as teachers but he is a role model. Other than that Joe Clark displayed what was needed in the situation.

[@shameDJ5]

What Joe Clark did in the 80s wouldn’t fly like that today. He would’ve in a lot of trouble and in a lot of lawsuits.

[@Nupesohard]

Man, Morgan Freeman was the perfect person to play this role. Geesh! #spoton

[@six3reggie]

.....go ahead and jump

[@mizzchurch3660]

Love Mr Clark💕💕💪🏾🙏🏾👑

[@stanleysims6674]

Mr. Joe Clark is a HERO and will be missed his birthday is December 29 and my birthday is December 30 were both G.O.A.T.S.☀️🌞❄️😇🙏❄️🦁🦁🐐🐐

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

The H.N.I.C.

[@TyGee777]

The greats are regularly criticized (in the now) and later recognized. Stand your ground leaders, lead. You may not get the accolades until after you're gone but stand, fight, and be about the mission!

[@brucefranklin1317]

Try teaching inner city kids i dare you.. This man is an american hero god damn it..

[@dirty364]

Wish this man was around nowadays!!

[@scottbrown7497]

I blame teachers for putting up with what their leaders push up on them Teachers are a first line of defense in fighting the system. 1 teacher can't tell the district no that is not what I'm saying but if you had 8 or 15 teachers . Tell these leaders to go to hell at the district level You teachers you could actually teach without being in fear

[@liberalmadness7248]

Back when CNN was actually relevant.

[@scoutman]

only taught at eastside one year as I was not certified. Clark left an impression on me. he demanded alot from teachers and students. it was his way or no way at all. america needs alot more tough guys with heart and alot less liberals with their pronouns

[@Kingjamesbible6111]

We need the Joe Clark's for President.....

[@chantalsscaleisafibber]

Joe Clark at least tried to help the kids that wanted the help to become educated and the ones who he threw out if school never wanted to be there in the first place and were there to sell drugs to children.

[@MsAaronsmom]

Mr. Clark got famous!! Wonder how he's doing now.....

[@djtopdolla27]

he working at a juvenile jail in newark

[@MsAaronsmom]

Still working? Good for him.....he's still (kinda) looking out for kids.....he was my eighth grade teacher.

[@danielgolarz674]

Have you ever read EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL?

[@victormalyar9200]

how do you know?

[@A_Muzik]

On the edge of 81

[@timothysanders4622]

Why ask a question if you won't hear the answer

[@RedPanda79]

Sigh...that is so frustrating when interviews cut people off. Let them answer!

[@mirandavinci4146]

He sure had a great vocabulary. Some of the words he was saying I didn't know what they meant

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

The real Joe Clark actually looked more like Robert Guillaume, who played Dr. Napier, than he did Morgan Freeman.

[@A_Muzik]

Suicide is a discipline problem? This exemplifies how out of touch and out of answers the producers of this show were.

[@Randomkloud]

They're lacking sensitivity, but I'm certain what they mean is the complex mental health problem caused or exacerbated by school that leads to suicide

[@mridgafwytowell1210]

I'm so glad Sidney Poitier did not take that role and we was able to see Morgan Freeman do an excellent job

[@jmoncado79]

Basically everything he's saying is true.

[@nicholasjanke3476]

Why would the film makers of Lean On Me have first offered Sidney Poiter the lead role, as Poiter had already done two high school films?

[@terrancegerman9864]

2020 the person that wrote the song lean on me friend song

[@hvacwiz7877]

no audio.

[@byronwelichko8577]

Diversity is our strength!

[@newyorkfan16]

Diversity is our downfall.

[@jamesmurray3889]

meant as a joke

[@RedPanda79]

Bombings? what was going on?

[@brucefranklin1317]

Tough love is all of it you damned foolish imbalanced oafs...

[@1986Glory]

Naw that wasn’t true about Alabama it lot of whites and black I lived there so I know
