[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, I agree with what the guy says and I'm a liberal.  Second, the behavior he describes is true of conservatives as well.  He's just appealing to liberals because he is one himself and he thinks he has a shot at influencing them.  If you want to make this some kind of generalized attack at liberals, be sure you include the conservatives who have the very same views about schools[/quote]

Yes but conservatives are very open and transparent about their views on this.

The liberals are hypocrites in the sense of the old saying "Do as I say, not as I do"

There is a huge difference.[/quote]

I am a liberal and I have to agree with this. Well-educated affluent liberals and conservatives in DC make similar choices about schools, but with liberals there is more hand wringing and mental acrobatics to reconcile choices made with a liberal/progressive worldview.

Actually let's be more precise: happily participating in economic segregation is perfectly consistent with liberalism, but not progressivism (aka soft socialism).
