Funny. I was living just across the river from D.C. right after Brown vs Board of Education had ended segregated schools.
That basically emptied Washington, DC of white families with school aged children, except for the wealthy private school crowd down in Georgetown.
The liberal High Priests of SCOTUS spoke, but their unenlightened subjects voted with their feet and headed for the Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
Liberals and leftists have always been about compulsion. Some of us can remember those pests spouting “You can’t legislate morality!” but that’s exactly what they have always been trying to do.
“but their unenlightened subjects voted with their feet and headed for the Maryland and Virginia suburbs”
When something is really important homo sapiens shuts their mouths and just does what they need to do.
Then the “rulers” look around and say “we never saw it coming because nobody told us”.
Lol.
