Nevada has a Republican legislature and a Republican Governor, Arizona has been a red state for a very long time, so please answer my question and tell me why the schools in Nevada and Arizona are segregated.

We can clearly see that they don't. Hypocrites.

Come on Libs, pay up and take care of these homeless!

Tell me why blue state public schools are EVEN MORE segregated than AZ or NV public schools. Tell me why Chicago is the most segregated city.

Liberals/Dems are NIMBY racists. FACT. They want no part of minorities living in their communities or going to school with their kids.

And then we have the problem of liberals/Dems refusing to put their money where their mouths are in supporting the poor. Hence, San Francisco's huge homeless problem.

The US border is quite porous, no matter who the president is, if a person wants to enter the country illegally they will find a way to do it. We already have large numbers of Asians flying into the US on tourist visas and staying and having babies and then remaining here to raise them. If you build a wall between the US and Mexico and people will enter another way. And unless someone passes a law to shoot drug addicts on sight I'm pretty sure they will always be walking the streets. And the only way living could become more affordable would be to elect a socialist who imposed price caps on rent, food and services.

Can you prove that California schools are more segregated than Arizona and Nevada schools? The problem is that your premise is flawed. You are claiming that schools are segregated due to some kind of 'liberal plot' and that's not what's happening. A decrease in the number of whites in urban areas in many states means that the schools in those areas have a larger minority population. Gentrification drives out minorities and changes the racial mix of schools and building in suburbs aimed at the middle and upper middle class are predominately occupied by whites.

You can use Phoenix as an example, schools in the city core have a high number of latino students but the suburbs are all white. I don't think the City devised some scheme to segregate students and I don't think there's an easy fix unless you decide to bus students long distances.



A similar situation exists in Clark County Nevada (Las Vegas) again, it came about because of fewer whites in the city core and an increasing minority population. No evil liberals snuck into the state and segregated the schools.

In 2013-14, minority students attended schools that are more segregated than the districtwide population. Using an exposure rate calculation,99 a typical Latino CCSD student attended a school that was 21 percent White, 5 percent Asian, 13 percent African American, 56 percent Latino, and 6 percent other. A typical African American CCSD student attended a school that was 24 percent White, 6 percent Asian, 21 percent African American, 46 percent Latino, and 3 percent other

And Reno is no better, my granddaughter stayed with us for a year when we were in Reno and she went to a school that was 99% white. About two miles away there were schools that were 99% latino. The School district is aware of this and offers open enrollment as a way to give more opportunity to minority kids but they don't offer bus transportation to kids who go to schools outside of their district so few poor kids can opt into the program.. Again, it's not a plot, it's demographics.

Here's a really good, non-biased overview of school segregation. It has some good interactive maps of California schools, you will see that the far north of California have schools that are basically all white but bay area schools are pretty well integrated. So how do we deal with it, busing minority kids a few hundred miles to white schools doesn't seem like a great idea, does it? America's public schools remain highly segregated | Urban Institute

Chicago schools are actually very integrated with a mix of races. As for the neighborhoods there, that has more to do with the history of the city than anything else, but Chicago isn't as segregated as you might think it is.

So... the liberal dream for us all is massive homelessness and poverty?

Contrary to what some people believe or hope, liberal cities have not eliminated human greed.

Conservatives like to cripple the free housing market for the benefit of property owners - they use government to choose winners and losers - but liberals are no better and even worse to the extent they impose more regulation and higher taxes.

Liberals are happy to tax you in order to warehouse poor and non-white people in Someone Else's Neighborhood.

Conservatives zone out the poor and non-white to the extent feasible, tell those people to vote with their feet, and are unwilling to tax you in order to house the others anywhere.
