Milwaukee is hardly alone in its segregation. We can try and blame red-lining, but that hasn't been around for ages. Ideally, segregation wouldn't exist, but I'm not sure how one goes about trying to improve that without trying to create a "color-blind" society. Equity and equality are antonyms.

What I do know is that many of these large cities have three things in common:
First, they haven't had Republican leadership at any level in generations. Second, testing shows that a tiny fraction of high school graduates have mastered basic high school-appropriate skills. Third, these are often the best-funded high schools in their state.
We cannot allow this to continue. I can't say I have all the answers, but I'd start by eliminating teacher's unions, privatizing the education system, giving vouchers to any parent who needs one, tying government support to truancy and reversing Obama's disastrous prohibition on suspending violent students. Then try and make sure people don't fall through the proverbial cracks.
I think he's referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which was enacted in April of that year. Who knows with him? He does little else but make the case that we need ignore buttons for the comment section. That legislation specifically prohibits discrimination in financing of housing. Definitely one of the more important pieces of the Civil Rights era.
Yet, we still have segregation in practice. And perhaps we can't talk about it, for many reasons.

Are you answering yourself, or what?

No. I was not. Wrong again, Jim G.
Redlining ended in 1968, Jim. Ancient history.

-Why not?
Your comment makes no sense.

Instead of teaching students academic and life skills, progressives teach them activism.
