Sister,

I did blog on the local impact of one of these cases, including the lame justification of it by the local liberal news, which labels it as a holy fight akin to Biblical, Algonquin and other spiritual traditions that seek to right inequities, against the The hateful, comprehensive U.S. apartheid system.

I kid you not.

If you would like to look at it, it is here.

Exactly how does mandating racial quotas serve the public good? Explain to me how putting a kid on a bus and shipping him into the middle of an inner-city school rife with drug and violence problems does <strong>anyone</strong> even the slightest amount of good. You're worried about what you call "factionalized, color coded pockets." Two points on that: - How's this for an idea: put God back in the schools. Let the ideas of the intrinsic worth of every human being be part of the educational experience. - If you're worried about factions, maybe you folks on the left ought to stop trying to divide us <em>into</em> factions. Who is it that is constantly talking about African-Americans, gay-Americans, hispanic-Americans, female-Americans, etc. Who is responsible for the factions that spring up from hyphenating all of us? The left! Don't talk to me about getting rid of 'factions' when you're busy trying to create more of them. 'Public good' is served when the schools turn out well-educated young people with strong moral fiber and an understanding of their responsibility to be self-reliant and hard-working. There are any number of examples of inner city schools that are doing exactly that because they enforce discipline, stick to educational basics, and push for excellence. And they do it without a quota system. there should just be school… a place that represents the community in which it serves the public good.

DL, if you’re trying to engender more ‘factionalization’, I can’t think of any better way than for some professional busybody forcing parents to send their kids somewhere they don’t want to go.

You’re worried about what you call “factionalized, color coded pockets.” Two points on that:

– How’s this for an idea: put God back in the schools. Let the ideas of the intrinsic worth of every human being be part of the educational experience.

Segregation of students causes problems, societal problems that we don't want to have to go through again in this country. Schools should reflect the district they represent. There should not be a rich school and a poor school, there should not be a white school and a black school, there should just be school... a place that represents the community in which it serves the public good. To do otherwise and let the country slip back into segregated schools under the guise of 'community schools' smacks of backward sliding. Teaching civics does not improve a kid's multiple test scores, but we teach it nonetheless... schools should look like society...not factionalized, color coded pockets.

My Grandfather, bought 20 acres in some small town in Missouri and farmed it for a few years, and then WWII broke out and he left his family and lived in San Diego to help build ships for the war effort. After the war was over he came back to Missouri and farmed and 5 days a week he lived in Kansas City and worked for the GM plant 2 hours away and worked as a welder. After 10 years of that he left to start a welding shop on his own. He did that the rest of his life. He was a heck of a guy. He died almost 20 years ago, and I still remember that goofy Irish smile of his. =)) - Lorica I agree with athat Stackja.
