Public schools need help... NOT money and people running away to gated communities and picture-book schools. Of course, with those resources, those schools SHOULD be good. Need a long term study to see if better than gifted ed in public schools. 3 years of rookie police training would be paid by making the tax code fair as it was in the 1950s. Note: there was a REAL middle class from 1950 to 1975. That went away, to a large degree, by flattening the tax system. The statement that the US is the best at everything is very ethnocentric. Check the world list of countries. WE were best after WW2, NOT today. Today we are about 20th in UPWARD MOBILITY and 30th in many other gauges of QUALITY OF LIFE. Check it out, dare to do that! The US has turned its back on its own principles and the world judges and is laughing at us. Why would government have residential quotas? Because there is a problem. The US is burning! We need solutions, that was the point of the thread. I offered solutions. The government installed speedbumps to solve a problem. And speed limits. And the FDA. The government is the referee for solutions to help people. Obviously, people need help with racial justice.

We don't NEED any more gov. especially more gov control. Sorry, but I do not NEED someone telling me where or where I cannot live, or who my neighbors must be. I see nothing wrong with gated communities, if one wishes to live in them.
"Racial Justice?" Is that different than any other JUSTICE? Why does Justice have to be segregated to race, gender, religion or sexual preference? Why can't one law fit all? Do some have special needs? I am an adult and do not need MORE gov control. The reason the economy did well in the last couple years was because of LESS gov control; less regulations.
The Constitution is color blind and gender blind, therefore if we are TRULY living and moderated by it, then there is NO racial justice, just plain old JUSTICE for all American citizens.
