Compulsory integration

CNS reports the DOJ is trying to stop Louisiana issuing school vouchers in districts under desegregation orders.

To recap the history, legally compulsory segregation has - falsely - long been held unconstitutional.

Government action against so-called "de facto segregation" is and has always been legally compulsory integration.

No one has said, so far as I know, that forced integration, whether or not at the hands of the feds, is itself unconstitutional, but that is an interesting thought.

It has always been seen as an outrage of judicial despotism - well,  it's usually some court behind it -  by most of the public.

And this business takes that compulsion to another level, as the kids say.

It appears Louisiana parents, given a chance, send their kids to racially homogeneous schools of their kids' own race.

White parents?

Black?

Both?

The story isn't specific because neither politicians nor journos want to be honest about what is actually at issue.

Why is legally compulsory integration a good thing, again?

It's certainly not what the people want, and never was.

In past polls, parents of all races have opposed compulsory integration and preferred segregated schools.

Just more liberal authoritarianism.
