Normally I'd agree with you, just not in this case. It's not even a matter of debate. You can draw direct lines from the start of integration to basically half of the current Republican parties platform. I mean the second schools integrated, and the Department of Education was created, Republicans started working to destroy it. It's half the reason the alliance between the religious right and the Republican Party exists. That's why they champion charter schools. So many lines you can draw directly here. And they all come back to conservatives hating the idea of black kids getting educated, more specifically educated next to white kids.

You can't fight a class war without remembering where you're fighting it.
