Nothing racist about my post. Fact is fact. Public education went down hill when concessions were made after integration. Standards were lowered. Every retired black teacher in my old home town will tell you the education for blacks was better when it was segregated. The black teachers were respected and whipped butt when it was needed.

You're wrong on all counts. When George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door, he was denying black students access to the University of Alabama. University education in Alabama didn't decline after integration -- and in certain respects it didn't exist for black students prior to integration. Specifically, Vivian Malone Jones, one of the black students Wallace fought to keep out, wanted to study accounting. However no black university in Alabama offered a graduate degree (or accredited undergraduate degree) in accounting - it was a whites only field. She would have had to leave the state to pursue her studies.

Justifying that is impossible - it was illogical and immoral and stupid. You're either incredibly misinformed or you're simply a racist or maybe you're both. There's nothing remotely conservative about denying equal access to education to students on the basis of race. I'm shocked that that idea is tolerated in some corners of FR.
