[Schools with majority minority students aren’t bad schools because of the students ... Many inner-city schools are also plagued by discipline problems and violence.]
“In 1972, a Gallup poll found that only 20% of respondents favored “compulsory busing of some children both black and white so that school desegregation can be achieved.” Seventy percent opposed.”
We live in a “democracy” (I know it’s not, but that’s what our betters are always calling it) where the will of 70% of the people was easily pushed aside in favor of 20%.
Mona Charen is a horror show.
Joe; that is NOT the Red, White and Blue of our Nation’s flag behind you.
I guess it all depends on whether it actually washes, the claims of victimhood. You see that all the time on the ground, and it doesn’t always, or even often work. From where I sat, among quite a few Democrats, it worked if someone else had a use for getting rid of the alleged guilty party. Then the “victim” would be fawned all over until they were no longer useful, then they would be gotten rid of, because I guess, you really can’t run things around grievance, it’s just good for “creative destruction.” They may do things differently in California, but generally I’ve seen Kamala types before, but it is a first to actually see anyone actually get behind them to help them run the show. Joe’s number is up by conventional calculations. He has been shown the door and he didn’t take the hint. Problem is, though, hes the best the Dems have, so the leadership are fools. The question is, do they have enough power to sell their b.s. to the citizenry and not just to the workers who have to listen to them or be made an example of?
Oh no not this racist crap again,can’t democrats get an original thought out of the old playbook
Busing is great for home values in adjacent communities.
I think the reason Joe is persona non-grata is because the Dems REALLY don’t want the doings of the Obama administration to be current events. They don’t want ANYBODY to take a closer look while a Republican sits in the White House able to pull the levers of power. They want no referendums on the Obama administration. Problem is that Joe played by the rules, and that too is a tradition. You don’t screw over the people who play by the rules, so it is union people vs the Obama administration’s quest for continued power. Nice little schism if you can exploit it. Might even put the Dems back on the footing of being reasonable humans you can work with with all the rapacious ones in jail, if you’re really lucky.
I hope some reporter looks into this (probably won’t). As I understand it, princess Kamala was born into wealth. Her mother was a breast cancer scientist and her father a Stanford economics professor. The wealthy elites back then did not have to worry about their little princesses being bussed. I find it uncreditable that she was part of forced bussing into white neighborhoods. I think she was already in those upper class white neighborhoods....
Kamalalala should run on busing.
It’s a sure winner..../s
“Jeff Jacoby of The Boston Globe reminds us that in 1970, before Boston’s disastrous experiment with busing, 62,000 white students attended public schools. By 1994, only 11,000 did.”
The problem with liberals in a nutshell. They will mouth all kinds of nice-sounding platitudes, but when it comes to putting their money (or kids’ futures) on the line they vote with their feet. Private schools, gated communities, elite universities...
She did not look "nice" doing it, she came across as a beotch. As for Joe, he's got problems: 1) He can't enunciate a statement without correcting something he said or mispronounced, sloppy and old. 2) His attempt to constantly talk "yokel local" and hip to ingratiate himself with Blue collar folks looks and sounds as phoney as a 4 dollar bill. Where do me get a huntn license like Kerry. 3) His own party will undermine him. He ain't no Hillary Clinton. 4) The President he served with for 8 years has not endorsed him, it doesn't get any worse. 5) He less exciting than Jeb!
