Description

Ohio Valley Union Free School District towers as the elusive crown C.J.'s father chased after Korea, a public education bastion where he should have reigned as superintendent upon retirement—thwarted by affirmative action's unyielding barriers that elevated less-qualified rivals. Instead, he fades into math department obscurity at William Henry Harrison Junior High, transforming this district into raw nerve center of family betrayal. Amid Air Force One's policy inferno, Toby and C.J. weaponize its ghost, exposing how institutional quotas fracture dedicated service and ignite visceral campaign clashes.
