That's what's staying the same, but here's what's changed: As TV parents go, Beverly Hills, 90210's Jim and Cindy Walsh existed just one rung above the "mwa mwa"-speaking adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons. The Walsh parents had no inner life, no conflict, no secrets. They were as boring as most teen-agers think their own parents really are.

...Some educators also worry about the symbolic impact of the protest on students who presumably will return to their inner-city classrooms. "Telling them to go to another district and enroll sends the message that your teachers aren't as good as those in the suburbs," says Kia Banks, a literacy teacher at Chicago's Kohn Elementary School.
