Tracey Winbush on Youngstown’s Education System

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Tracey Winbush, a radio broadcaster, says young people may get beaten down by their peers if they are educated and speak properly. That can lead to feelings of insecurity.

“And when you feel insecure, then you have to dumb yourself down,” she explains.

That carries into the workplace. “So instead of hiring up, we hire down,” Winbush contends. “Instead of leveling up, we level down. And we wonder what’s wrong with our community.”
