Most of the southern states are still living under desegregation
orders that date back to the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
There are still quotas for everything in the education system and
plenty of Al Sharpton wannabes who will sue at the drop of a hat.
We still have a whole lot of racially guided busing, some than makes
absolutely no sense.



Many of the issues in the south, as far as race relations and equality
goes
hasn't changed much. I don't see how quotas have much to do with
teacher/student performance. I still don't understand what you're trying
to
say with quotas... in the classroom?


Quotas affect "gifted" programs if they do not return the proper
demographic numbers. They certainly have problems if they try to
establish a special school for gifted students and one for "at risk"
students because they will not have equal ethnic populations.
The sociologists decided the kids are being deprived of the right to
attend a school with thugs and morons.


I doubt this is the case. It sounds like you're making up the part about
the
gifted vs. at risk part, since ethnicity can't be used exclusively. You're
clearly making stuff up about sociologists, implying that they have base
motives.

OK who does make up these stupid rules that they use to determine who
gets bused? The football coach?


Most places no longer bus for desegregation. The courts can make an
exception if the situation warrants it.
