Recently the US Supreme Court decided in PARENTS INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS v. SEATTLE SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 et al.- a typical multiple-mouthful name of a legal case—more generically known as ‘Rents v. Grungetown—that school districts cannot use race as the sole criterion for assigning students to particular schools. In other words, they cannot have segregated schools. The shocker, to any normal sane person, is that this was needed. After all didn’t the famous cases and incidents in Topeka and Little Rock back in the 1950s straighten out the horror of racially divided schools? No, it turns out. All they did was tinker with the definition of segregation. Segregation used to mean a locally-decided rule for schools’ color schemes that was unfair to blacks. Desegregation meant one determined by the federal courts that was unfair to everybody. Socialist equality. Segregated, in the new case, still means a locally determined mix of “white” and “non-white” students, while desegregation now means no rules at all about race, at least in this context. Funny how so many otherwise conscious people thought the last was the intent of the first. Funnier still how many who fancy themselves conscious and ever-so progressive, liked desegregation when it meant aiming at ending race as a consideration for things, but don’t like actually hitting the target. If the Court had ruled back in the 50’s what it has ruled now, but people only thought it had ruled then, would this be an issue now? Yes, it would still be an issue and here’s the evidence:
In the wake of this supposedly momentous decision, school systems all over the country are fretting, hand-wringing, pacing and perspiring over how they can now achieve their goals of diversity and racial integration. That is the news, as reported by the Serious News Media, in regard to this decision. In other words, they are asking—Now that we don’t like the law, how can we break it without paying any price? The law “changes” and the story is, How ever will the school systems manage get around it? I think that was the exact same question that George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, Fielding Wright, Orval Faubus, and many others were asking back when. Of course back then law-violators were the bad guys. The Responsible Question was, How will they enforce the law? Not, How can they break or at least get around the law for our greater goals? In the end, the solution must again be that the President sends the 101st Airborne Division to Seattle to escort non-whites into non-white schools where they, apparently, are not wanted or welcomed because they aren’t white. The solution cannot be that the schools are allowed to flaunt, break and ignore the law—this is not a matter of illegal immigration, for god’s sake.
I know how the educrats feel. I am currently in a similar predicament trying to figure out how I can continue to drive 70 mph now that the speed limit on the main road by my house has been reduced to 50 mph. Otherwise, I am in grave danger of not realizing my idealistic goal which is getting places faster. I am confident that the ACLU and the Big Media will be behind me in my efforts to find a way around this anti-progressive limit to my full integration with society.
