VICTORY! Supreme Court Rejects School Race Plans

Only the Germans could paste together saw dust with blackstrap molasses and paving binder and call it "good bread."

The Chief (of course, I am a respecter of precedent)Justice apparently cannot decern the difference between a system (prior to Brown) which used race to EXCLUDE children and those systems which were part of the the present case which used race as one factor to INCLUDE children.

He should resign before he does any more damage.

PS: Has anybody started a grown-up discussion about the decision itself yet somewhere? If so, I'd be grateful for a link, as I don't find it.

Maybe the Chief Justice, as well as most of the human race, have come to realize that ANY form of discrimination is wrong and the only way to stop discrimination is to STOP DISCRIMINATION.

What makes you think there is a constitutionally relevant difference? Inclusive or exclusive, the Supreme Court's equal protection jurisprudence compels that every race-based legal distinction must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest. In your opinion, what government interest was at stake in this case? Why was it compelling? And how was the school district's policy narrowly tailored to achieve it?

As fer them Germans... God DID give them Beer. We can't argue about that.

Oh that's a brilliant plan. I'd also add: "Best way to stop hating is to stop hating.... and best way to vacuum your house is to vacuum your house.... and Best way to eat pastrami is to eat pastrami..."

All is nicely laid out ahead. What a clear, brilliant strategy. Everything will be nice and easy from now on.

The irony is that Woiyo has to make this argument in this thread-- started by a member whose stated goal is to prevent race-mixing.

Does woiyo think Michael's goal is to stop discrimination?

Among many more glaring examples of reprehensible public behavior (such as invading Poland at the drop of a hat), yes, Oktoberfest would be a good example.

So do you think that Americans who come to Germany and consume absolutely incredible amounts of beer do so in order to learn the art of invading-countries-at-the-drop-of-a-hat?

Michael, like you, are irrelevant.
