Characters are fun. I've never heard anyone say it made minorities look bad. As a black woman and a teacher, I think the show is on point.

The principal does not look qualified and self centered but one of the schools I substitute at has a worst principal who is a white, self centered and has caused morale to go low.

My husband and I love the show and have watched from the beginning. So, how do you think this show is giving minorities (which ones BTW) a bad name?

It is as if the showrunners think everything has to be explained.
Whatever, it irritates me.

Parks and Recreation started out with that in a huge way. My daughter had told me I would like it, and I told her why I didn't. She told me to just stick with it and somewhere in the second season we were actually watching the story
