Okay, that goes beyond teabaggery and straight into the realms of headf**ked.

[DrScholl]

The wackos are at it again. Make no mistake, this what they mean when they say "Taking America Back". Take the country back to 1955 is what they mean.

[anvi]

This is just pernicious.

[Smash255]

And there is nothing racial about the tea partiers.  sure......

The porcelain was wet...i slipped, hit my head...when I woke up...I drew this...

Ah yes, those wonderful days of 90% taxation on the top 1%, high union membership and.. Wait, why do liberals hate the '50s again?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Because a significant segment of the population had no rights whatsoever.

That's not a problem for a significant segment of this board though.

[tpfkaw]

Oh my, those horrible teabaggers, putting up signs that say "whites only" everywhere...

Oh?  They aren't?  Never mind that, then.

Sorry for not holding selfish political views?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

The article is actually very misleading, the elections are non-partisan, hence nobody voted "Republican", overall, I'd say Wake gets what it deserves. I followed that damn election, they didn't hide a thing they were going to do, in fact they were open about it. Their opponents said the same thing most on this thread are saying right now.

They were elected on this program, no one should all of a sudden be "Oh noes!"

[fezzyfestoon]

Ugh...fools.

[anvi]

We're all allowed to lament what voters decided in an election.  If we weren't, this whole forum wouldn't exist.  But, yeah, I certainly agree, Wake's bad.

Ahh yes this has absolutely nothing to do with race on the part of the tea baggers.....

[nclib]

Wake County should be focusing on doing what's best for its students, not what's best for the Tea Party.

Yeah, because who cares about other people!

Don't forget your favorite part, the dirty, troublemaking blacks couldn't vote or have proper education. Nowadays, they can just run amok and even steal the Presidency. Shameful.

I'm tempted to report this thread for its highly misleading title. But I'm not that petty. I see no need to bus kids all over town. Strong neighborhoods schools are key local institutions that are particularly vital in underserved communities. Whatever the merits of such, it is certainly not "resegregation." This is how schools in most communities operate.

I was thinking about a few red avatars other than you, friend.

That's true but in practice it means that we have less racially diverse schools than anytime since the late 60s. Clearly not a good development.

[cannonia]

So in short, parents hate having their kids bused across town and vote in a school board that listens to them.  What's the problem?

[CatoMinor]

Am I missing something, I don't see the part where it says that back children are not allowed in the same schools? I disagree with them, but there is no racism here, moron.

Segregation does not need to be statutory to be segregation.

The result will wind up being having many school that are mostly or all white and many schools that are mostly or all black.
