Trust me, i know the Tea Party's heart is in the wrong place on this, but i think we should wait a while until we see what the results of this turn out to be. The story makes it sound as if it's not so cut and dry.
But as for the Tea Party, i know damn well what they're REALLY up to.

Is this another one of those deals where kids are forced to ride a school bus for 2 hours so they can create diversity instead of having them go to the school 2 blocks away?
Again, Tea Party and School integration. Put those words together, and it becomes pretty clear. At least i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the policy itself. But as for THEM? Uh...no!
From what I read in the article they want to put all the poor kids together.
The distribution of the district is that 10 percent live in poverty.
I don't think it's a good idea, because when you put a group of economically disadvantaged underachievers together, they're going to end up with a mess.
Ok, sounds gross. But I am trying to unravel how they are trying to do it. Not just the why but the how. Are they proposing that all students attend school only in the district of their residence?
A federal judge ordered mandatory busing/integration of the Kansas City Missouri School District. More than one billion dollars and a decade later it proved to be an abject failure and complete waste of taxpayer funds. The school district struggled between loss of accreditation and re-gaining accreditation and severe financial shortfalls. A flight from the largest school district in the metro area to the suburbs by homeowners and businesses alike left the city's central core an economically depressed wasteland with among the highest murder rates in the country per capita.
Is there a reason to throw good money after proven failed practices in the name of political correctness? Is there a reason to do this to other cities and their school districts or can we find a better way rather than repeating the same mistakes decade after decade, after decade?
LOL...let's see...Republican school board, Tea Party, subject of integration, and North Carolina....you can see where i'm going.
Economics? Maybe in part. But race is a non-factor? Hmmmm....Naaaah!
