Give the left another shot...surely they will get it right this time

As most of you know, in the 1954 “Brown v. Board of Education” (and several other, very similar cases that have been forgotten to us commoners), the “separate but equal” view of public education was destroyed.  At the time, busing students to other schools, in order to even out the racial “quotas” (and don’t lie, we all know that is what it is), was not considered an option…..busing students was in existence, but largely it was for getting students to schools in their own neighborhoods, or getting rural students to school.  In 1968, the Warren court (go figure) actually rejected a “freedom of choice” plan in the “Green v. County School Board of Kent County, and ordered the county to desegregate immediately.  In the 1971 Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of education, the Burger court ruled that racial desegregation was such a major social issue, that school districts must be redrawn and busing of students was to be used as a legal tool.

Why is any of this important?  Un-elected courts, the same ones (actually the EXACT same ones), that brought you abortion on demand lied to you, and denied you the choice of sending your child to the public school of your choice, and mandated the redrawing of districts, and FORCED the federal government to adopt the one thing we the people were promised would not be in place; school busing.

Hang with me…..I am going somewhere with this. 

I grew up in Georgia, and did a significant amount of my grade school years in towns like Fitzgerald, Savannah, Valdosta, Hinesville, Athens, before settling in Macon (I suspect my Dad was dodging creditors, because we were the poorest white people I knew).  Thru the ninth grade, except for one year in Athens, MOST of my classmates were black.  My sixth grade year I was bussed all the way across Savannah to a school that had no grass, everything was asphalt and surrounded my wire.  A girl in my class got pregnant in the sixth grade.  I was one of the few white faces in the entire school.  We were kids, not much racism because we hadn’t learned at the Al Sharpton school of human relations.   It got worse in junior high….A LOT worse.  Bussed again, I had to learn to fight in order to survive, then tale an ass beating from my deranged mother for fighting at school.  By high school I had learned how to just stay clear of shit; keep my head down, go to class, get the hell off of campus and get back to civilization at the final bell.  Savannah had three public high schools….two of them were about 70%-80% black, one (mine) was about 60%.  There were, however 10 private, mostly church affiliated private schools.  Except for the Catholic school, they were vitrtually 100% white.  The Catholic school was about 50%-50%.....and REMARKABLY…..they had no race issues.

Busing students (I think they call it “student transportation”) has achieved almost exactly what all leftist, social engineering programs have accomplished; not one damned thing.  It HAS developed an incredibly lucrative transportation industry (MULTI-BILLION dollars per year).  Let’s take Kansas City MO as an example.  Almost $3 BILLION was spent in a three year effort to desegregate the public school system with a net result of nada.  Test scores did not improve, graduation rates did not improve, the quality of teachers did not improve, the quality of education did not improve and the entire state of Missouri payed for that miserable ten year program.  THIS SHIT ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING.

I told you I was going somewhere with this.

With 50 years of failure…….we now have this.

Despite a history of failure, across the nation, these two school districts are pushing a return to forced busing in an effort to improved the performance of poor, largely minority students, by putting them in the same schools with more affluent, largely white students……..even armed with their own statistics that show that there is ZERO correlation between their desired goals and their stated method of achieving those goals. 

This is an amazing story, and you should read it.  This article highlights better than anything I have read lately, how disconnected the left is, from reality.  The left will never, ever stop.  Government, and their control of it is their answer to all of their self made problems, and control of our life…..remember, their ultimate goal is just like the court decision; to ensure you have no right to chose.
