We would think our school unions would not be afraid of competition. Imagine charter schools where every child could read before receiving a high school diploma? We certainly don’t want that, do we, voters?

Southwest High School was in the Top 10 of High Schools in the U.S. prior to Judge Clark’s ruling. I believe under the “desegregation ruling” the built an observatory in it.

Not only was the school itself ruined by busing, but the neighborghood was as well. After busing, the neighborhood was plagued by burglaries: the Brinks home security folks prospered.

Despite millions of dollars in “improvements,” the school has been closed for several years now.
