Or expanded targets for picking on. [/quote]

Very interesting perspective :-)

This is a fairly serious matter, and making light of it is all the more reasons to diversify the segregated schools.[/quote]

I don't have any problem with either diversifying or segregating the schools - as long as you do it the right way.
The end does not always justify the means.

If you still don't get it, let me make it even more clear: if you invest money on a new merit based school which only accept students with high scores, that is clearly going to be a "segregated" school based on the definition of many posters here. However I don't see a problem for that.

If you, instead, lend money to those who can't afford the expensive housing in those "segregated" school zones and encourage them to move in, that is a way to "diversify" the school. I don't see a problem for that either.

Now apparently you are not going to do any of these. SO shouting out "we need to diversity the schools" does not help. It makes more sense talking about real actions, rather than empty slogans.

Cheaper to simply charter the diversity bus than loan people money to buy housing elsewhere. The county isn't that big. Busing is an easy solution.[/quote]
