Re: NYT article by Professor/Obama advisor-It´s hard not to notice that desegregation in US schools is effectively The failure of school desegregation was probably the biggest blow to the Leftist agenda in the twentieth century. The only students who benefited from school integration were a handful of blacks (they would send their best) who ended up in "choice" public schools in better White neighborhoods. And, that improvement was only very, very marginal - something you don't hear about in this article.



What the author fails to note about the "spate" of research he cites is that many of those schools were re-designated as A/V and training centers after a decade or two of busing black students in and out of such neighborhoods. One way or another, White communities found a way to end the infestation.



Likewise, "magnet schools" have been around for some time and, while sucking off the taxpayer teat, are not accountable to the same degree as public schools. They, as well, have been largely unsuccessful, but not because of a "hostile" Supreme Court. They have failed because they have not provided a suitable alternative for students or parents. (It makes my day to hear liberals call the Court "hostile").



One hallmark of American liberals is that they are always willing, even eager, to "revisit" the policy failures of the past - the bigger the failure, the more eager they are to repeat it. It is as if they intentionally look to infuriate those with whom they disagree rather than seek to actually improve the lives of their pet negros.



The bottom line is that negros can't learn. We tried to educate them and it didn't work. We tried everything. Liberals would rather throw their own pets "under the bus", both literally and figuratively, before admitting these facts.
