Walmart kick out black folk with money to spend? Why would a school?

Well, schools receive money from the govt based on numbers in attendance. And universities have always received payment from the student body. That didnt keep schools and universities in the south from denying admission to black kids did it? And we know the "separate but equal" philosophy is not acceptable to the supreme court.

What I find amazing about this dialog is, why do you all think we need private schools as a solution now but we never did in the past. As Chaz has correctly pointed out, Ca (at least) had excellent public schools in the 50s and early 60s - and look at the university system in Ca, my alma mater is a public university and the premiere university in the country in many disciplines. Wasnt that the ideal? Why cant we have that again? An excellent public education for everybody, thats what I want. I think we could have that again in Ca if everybody was willing to pay the same taxes as I am.
