If You Think Racial Segregation of Schools

went out the window with Brown v. Board of Education, you are very much mistaken. Segregation is returning, but this time it is in the formation of those much-touted charter schools, which "Democrats" Obama and Duncan are so big on:

Local black leaders are concerned that York Preparatory Academy, the first charter school in York County open to any student, will be nearly all white.

The academy's organizers are still compiling information about the student body's demographics. But the several hundred people who attended the school's recent enrollment lottery were mostly white, as was the crowd of several hundred who attended a recent board meeting.

The school's governing board of seven members is all white.

Melvin Poole, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Rock Hill chapter, sees the makings of a segregated school.

"I don't think they made a real effort to get blacks in," Poole said. "I think this is just a cover-up way to get back to segregated schools ... creating a school of elites on the taxpayer's dime."

And getting back to Uncle Miltie's voucher schemes, those were designed to reverse Brown. Charter schools, once touted by AFT president Al Shanker, who later denounced them when he found out the idea was being perverted by the right to undercut public education, are now the venue to put the races in their "place."
