Report Blames Supreme Court For Re-segregation Of Schools
Resegregation in American public schools has intensified over the last two decades, particularly in the American South, and the U.S. Supreme Court is largely responsible for this trend. Those are the findings in a new report released by the Civil Rights Projects, which is headquartered at the University of California, Los Angeles.

After reading articles about the resegregation of schools by race I frankly don’t see the problem. Blacks and Whites don’t like each other and 40 years of intergration has created nothing but ill will and hatred. Whites accuse Black Kids of being unruly Blacks accuse whites of being racist. Maybe it’s time that we segregated as races because it can only led to another violent racial conflict. Let’s respect the decisions of Brown v. Board, Civil Rights act of 1964-65 and the Fair Housing act of 1968. Medical, government and other branches should be open to all citizens regardless of race, color and creed.
White Americans and other minorities are bad for Black People’s mental health and I think equal funding of schools would be best like Sen. Ernie Chambers advocated and got in Nebraska would be a good model for this racial impasse. Blacks schools get a share and whites and asians and latinos should get a piece and let everybody educate our own children. The only thing I would want is a separate black school board because of the history of white malfesence in Black affairs and also a waiver from NCLB. James Baldwin wrote that Blacks wanted intergration but not neccesarily with white people.
Black Children need neither Separation or intergration with whites and others but a good education ! W.E.B. DuBois

How about this? We stop trying to engineer education assignnments and let people go to their local school? Some will argue that color blind policies don\’t take into account inequalities as though the government has the obligation to force all people to be equal. We\’ve been trying that through welfare, affirmative action, etc. for decades. If all of the social engineering we have been up to for the last 40 years has been worthwhile then why do we still need to continue racial preferences to maintain the progress we have supposedly made? You can\’t force people to be smart, productive and responsible by giving them handouts and unfair advantages, it\’s only logical that the opposite would result.
