The story line is of a black teacher in the mid 1900s, the school is completely out of control, there are drugs and violence everywhere, the school board asks him to come in and be the principal of the school to get it in order. The first day he shows up and calls an assembley. In the assembly he puts 30 or so kids on the stage and annuonces that they are all expelled. those kids are no longer allowed in the school and he continues to fight to clean up the school. In the end the school is transformed and he is arrested for having chained the doors closed to keep out the drug dealers. Any one have any ideas what the name is, thanks,

Eventually his successful, though unorthodox, methods lead to a clash with city officials that threatens to undo all his efforts. Based on a true story.
