And as much as the local progressive-istas like to whine about the Thomas-Scalia-Alito-Roberts quadrafecta on the SCOTUS, if they have children in the Seattle School District, they should be happy about this development.
Integration is no longer Seattle School District’s top priority
When it came to voluntary school-integration efforts in the late 1970s, Seattle Public Schools was at the forefront. In 1978, Seattle became the first large urban district in the nation to undertake a desegregation plan without a court order to do so.
Today, however, Seattle district leaders appear resigned to living with the resegregation that’s occurred over the past three decades.
Resegregation, they say, is a societal problem too big for the district alone to solve.
Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson hopes Seattle residents see the value of living and going to school with people from a wide mix of backgrounds. But she says she can’t change where people live. And as much as she values racial diversity, she values high-quality schools more.
A quality education, she says, “trumps diversity.”
No shit. It took 30 years of destroying children’s futures and a Supreme Court decision to figure this out?
Ladies and gentlemen, that is what a college indoctrination will get you: Regret that a school district cannot make education the #2 priority.
