Great Hera! A Tea Party supported School Board has stop the Integration policy in Wake County, NC.

In Wake County School District, a Tea Party supported school board has showed their true colors by abolishing their well-known integration policy. This policy brought unfortunate children into solid, well performing schools.

Here's more info:

The situation unfolding here in some ways represents a first foray of tea party conservatives into the business of shaping a public school system, and it has made Wake County the center of a fierce debate over the principle first enshrined in the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education: that diversity and quality education go hand in hand. 

The new school board has won applause from parents who blame the old policy - which sought to avoid high-poverty, racially isolated schools - for an array of problems in the district and who say that promoting diversity is no longer a proper or necessary goal for public schools. 

"This is Raleigh in 2010, not Selma, Alabama, in the 1960s - my life is integrated," said John Tedesco, a new board member. "We need new paradigms." 

But critics accuse the new board of pursuing an ideological agenda aimed at nothing less than sounding the official death knell of government-sponsored integration in one of the last places to promote it. Without a diversity policy in place, they say, the county will inevitably slip into the pattern that defines most districts across the country, where schools in well-off neighborhoods are decent and those in poor, usually minority neighborhoods struggle. 

I was just told that several civil rights groups are looking into this foolishness. Also the NAACP is thinking of filing a lawsuit as well. This is truly sad.
