"Segregation" is not actually segregation

Differences in the racial compositions of student bodies arising from where people live or from parental decisions where to send the kids to school are not segregation, which is (or rather, in America, was) racial separation mandated by law.

What these people want to do is not end segregation, which is long, long gone.

What they want to do is use the power of government to organize and compel school assignments achieving a degree of homogeneous race mixing (they call it "diversity") in and across American classrooms - all American classrooms - desired by race whiners and addled bureaucrats.

America's schools are still segregated by race and class. That has to end.

The talk about schools dominated by minority students being under-resourced and over-disciplined is a canard, as well, though I believe schools in poorer districts are still less opulently funded than those in districts with a wealthier tax base.

Should that sort of inequality be altogether done away with by whatever means come to hand?

Well, don't do it on my account.

I am not distressed at the mere existence of inequality, per se.
