thinkprogress.org — The Supreme Court as just "rejected public school assignment plans that take account of students' race. The decision in cases affecting schools in Louisville, Ky., and Seattle could imperil similar plans in hundreds of districts nationwide, and it leaves public school systems with a limited arsenal to maintain racial diversity."

So you're saying that you want to override the parents' wishes because you find them bigoted and paranoid? And while you brought up the kids on buses thing... How much more fuel are the buses going to use running convoluted routes that will move children to schools far outside of their district? How much more tax money is going to be required so that you can have your perfect world of racially integrated classrooms? I went to a school where I was a minority as a white guy. Did that affect me? No. Do I think pompous airbags like yourself need to stop trying to be a nanny? YES

That's workable for public schools, sure. But once more of the middle class moves its children into private schools to get the level of education they were getting before tax dollars started getting pumped into poor schools, aren't you back where you started?Edit: Didn't think of the mandatory taxation, can't think of anything worthwhile to say, go ahead and bury.

Just wait, one of them is going to ask Why should I have to pay for the poor kids' education?

This limited the use of *race*. The problem with public education that we are speaking of here often is mistaken for race, when it can be more appropriately be attributed to location. Think about it: inner city schools have a great number of minority students, and are usually subpar when it comes to education.So instead of school districts saying "lets move the black children to the suburban schools" they will say "lets move the inner city students to the suburban schools." The wording will change, thats it.
