As a Student and graduate of Eastside High School I can say that Mr. Clark was a Godsend to us all. I had the privilege to be there for a full 4 years with Mr. Clark from 1983-1987. My mom was really worried about me attending Eastside. She actually sent my older sister to Kennedy High which was all the way across town. She had to us a relative's address just so she could send her there. That's how much she did not want my sister in Eastside. When she heard that Mr. Clark was taken over she knew it would be alright to send me to Eastside. A lot of what I learned from him I carry with me today. Will love him forever. RIP Joe Louis Clark.

Joe Clark is a national hero as far as I’m concerned. As well as Morgan Freeman. Inspiring and Great men to emulate, look up to, learn from, respect.

Morgan Freeman is his own Joe Clark....him and Joe Clark are a whole lot alike in behavior, that was why they probably picked him to act that role..R.I.P to the real Joe Clark

I was a high school student when these events took place. I did not live in NJ, but 30 minutes away in NY & remember hearing some of the controversial student expulsions on the news while getting ready for school in the morning. A few years later when I saw the movie, I loved it. Even decades later, if I see it on, I must watch it. Gets me in the feels every time.

Interviewer should know to address a stellar actor that is a Guest — granting you this interview as MR. FREEMAN! As an Educator you should know that.

This was at the time in his career, when Morgan Freeman was becoming known for more than just Easy Reader (though hes probably still well known for that, just as Harrison Ford is still well known as Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Sean Connery was always well known as 007, and Klinton leave it at that!)

I'd love to see Morgan Freeman and Mahershala Ali worked together
