I’m really seeing the down side of the civil rights act - which I supported at the time as a very young person. I now understand why Goldwater was against it.
School integration might be a different thing, as the government mandates that kids go to school. So then the government must afford the kids the same opportunities. (That was the argument made by the judges at the time). (Another hmmm. Could that argument be used to support school vouchers for private schools and easier transferring to better public districts!?)
