The fact that liberals now want to use "income" as the yardstick makes it less complex, don't you think? Simply stated, this is an attempt to force people to send their kids to(in many cases)schools that have "poorer" students, even though parents most usually would prefer to send their kids to schools with "richer" students. Like, lets all pretend all students, regardless of backgound "behave" similarly..
Oh, and anyone who thinks forced integration "can" work, merely has to look at liberal administered Prince Georges County in Maryland where the percentage of White students in the Public Schools dropped from 77 % to 23 % in 12 years. Why should I buy an expensive house in Laurel and send my kids off to a school where their safety can't be assured (even though safety is probably the authorities number 1 concern, by far)
Is it? People like to be with their own kind but they what the best in educational opportunities for their children.
We see people living in groups of their racial peers across this land by choice. Trying to make people diverse when they don’t want to be is the only thing that makes this issue complex.
Too bad politics has so polluted it.
How true!
Not according to the Feds. Many of the laws go back to the 60's when minorities were primarily blacks.
My county is under a federal consent decree which means the Feds oversee schools for the appropriate ratio of minorities (ie. blacks and whites). Yes, they have messed up the local schools.
