Interesting they try to put a racist spin on it when the real issue is overcrowded schools.
Funny, I don't see a racist spin. Perhaps I need Laser vision then....
In 1953 there was a massive redistricting effort, throughout the state, which was fairly successful. Most one room country schools, including the one I attended, were eliminated within a few years, there were forces at work at that time, which were trying to create a one school per county system in all the rural countys, the small town school districts stood up, and fought it, and won. Painting something as Racism has worked well for 40 years. It looks like the consolidation crowd has noticed, and is using it to achieve their goal.
