Wait...wait for it...wait for it. All tea Partiers are racist!

The school districts in my state are set up like that. The district my school is on dodges the inner city. I support this, it works for Pennsylvania (except in Philadelphia, where the bus kids from west and north Philly into the northeast and bring down the schools)

Why would someone want to take something that is working & where the parents are all completely happy with the school system & return it to the way it was years ago? Why go backwards if something is successful? I don't get it.

It's all about political correctness. My state's schools are not integrated, except in the City of Philadelphia. You go to the school that is in your district. If an inner city student wants to attend a suburban school in my state, they either have to move to the suburbs, or pay the tuition to attend said school. There is no busing here, and our schools are rated much better than the Southern ones. The facts speak for themselves, no matter how politically incorrect it may be but liberals are going to have to suck it up and stop this insane policy that has failed to work for 50 years

I think the idea is to go back to the days of Articles of Confederation. Some appear intent on going back past 1776 as well.

Well, there are quite a large number who never moved away from the Articles of Confederation and some who still fondly remember the good ole days of Mississippi in the early 60s'(Barbour).

What? More foreign invaders in Florida? We have the Central Americans, the Cubans, the Canadians and now we are going to have the Brits? Maybe we need to build a Disney World or something.

It's far worse than you think. But keep it on the down low.
