Breck Girl Wants Busing

Same old same old. Haven’t we been through this crap for a generation or more? It’s not going to work any better this time, Johnny.

To add to my opinions over at St. Louis CofCC Blog, if Edwards wants to spend only $100 million on deseg, that would just about cover the cost of busing his two school-aged children from their front door to the edge of their property.

Edwards also wants more magnet schools. I wonder if he wants any for Orange County, N.C., and if they are established, whether he will send his kids there.

You also see that he wants to tear down the projects and disperse the hood through the suburbs by means of “housing vouchers” (i.e. Section 8).

While these proposals will go over like a fart in church with the electorate, I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a part of me that wish the housing voucher plan would happen. After all, white people flee minorities, move further and further away, and they forget why they were driven out, and vote liberal. Until whites realize that there’s nowhere left to run, and are forced actually to live around blacks and Hispanics without the ability to flee or to run, this body politic won’t have the moxie to lobby elected officials to formulate a reasonable but effective political solution to our race problems.

Two Stories on Deseg

Hungate kicked off. Now that he’s gone, I can say his name, and say that he was the person I was referring to back in late December that the local media made an object of praise, when he reacted to the death of Gerald Ford. At the time, since he was retired but not disgraced, I did not want to say his name.

The other story is that, in spite of their earlier rhetoric, St. Louis County’s school districts will continue with the deseg program while the St. Louis City Public Schools are under state control, and all but Lindbergh, Ladue and Pattonville will accept St. Louis City refugee students. Jane Cunningham must be smiling today.
