Of course you went to racism.

No, because many people work their butts off to be able to move from Hartford to West Hartford specifically for the schools, and they deserve that.

Not many people like forced busing.

They deserve to not have black kids?

Aren’t we talking about voluntary school choice?

Vermont has had that for years for high school and you have to deal with transportation yourself.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

They have earned the right for their kids to go to good schools. If you're talking about busing a few good kids from Hartford to West Hartford, fine, I like that. Busing can go both ways, meaning I wouldn't support the idea of taking kids from West Hartford and shipping them to Hartford.

And there are white people living in Hartford, and minorities in West Hartford. This is news to you?

"Vermont has had that for years for high school and you have to deal with transportation yourself."

Most blue states are adamantly opposed. Because teachers unions don't want the competition.

How did your union construction guys like it when jobs were awarded to non-union shops? Did you shake the other guys hand and offer a sincere congratulations? I don't think so.
