What is truly interesting about Brown vs Board of Ed. was that the liberals could not fathom that the average guy out there would ever conceive of just pulling up stakes and moving for the sake of his kids.
Well that is just one the reasons the whole busing, forced integration policies failed and failed big.
People did the unexpected that left the Liberals fuming.
The big story on the news this week is the absolute failure of the school system to even teach the basics to the kids.
Now Obama wants to mandate the kids learn certain basics on a time frame the Federal Government puts out.
Just how in the Hell is that going to work?
When they finally get rid of the NEA and high paid supervisors, principals, etc., and get teachers that want to teach rather than spew Socialism then maybe we can graduate kids that can read and write.

Or in the case of when this happened in Boston, engage in outright violence.

My family went on vacation for a week. When we got back our next door neighbors had put their home up for sale, had sold it, and were gone.

I ran into the former neighbor a few months later. The school board had announced a re-districting and they didn't like the new school. They sold their house at a fraction of its value so they could get into a better district before the deadlines hit for the next year.

That's already the law. Ask W. and the dead Drunk about "No school bureaucrat left behind".
