So let me get this straight. They State is going to sue 'white' people for not going to a certain school which has a large percentage of Mexican students.

The school admitting the 'white' kids apparently has a superior record when it comes to actually educating children, and the parents of the 'white' kids can actually pay for this superiour educatioin.

Is that about right?

Well pardon me for taking things to the extreme but it seems that the correct 'judicial rememdy' is for the Judge to order that all the 'white' kids be required to attend the admittedly inferior school. If necessary , the Judge can order Marshalls in to ensure that his order is enforced.

To take this entire silly thing to its logical extreme, the Judge could also order that no 'white' families can move out as that would obviously constitute 'white flight' on a larger scale.

Hell, maybe the Judge could order the County to put up a large barbed wire fence around the neighborhood in question just to make sure none of the families affected by his order can vote with their feet.

This topic was brought up on Bill O'Reilly tonight. He said the white students won a partial victory and it looks good for them.

So what ever happened in the Mumford vs Hearne fight? The courts ever rule?
