    "“We’re quite concerned about what kind of progress we have or haven’t made,” said Andre Guerrero, a white member of the Central High School 50th Anniversary Commission. “This is a power struggle about whose voice is going to prevail,” Mr. Guerrero said as the school board prepared to meet last week. Mr. Brooks’s tenure and the fight over him has thrown the district into turmoil. “I’ve never seen anything like this — the divisiveness, the hate,” said the leader of the teacher’s union, Katherine Wright Knight. Another outspoken critic, Katherine Mitchell, the board president, said, “I’m saying, we have really regressed.” The judge’s ruling in February, disputed by activists and black board members but welcomed by Mr. Brooks, freed the city’s schools from federal oversight. It marked the end of a government engagement that began in September 1957 when Army soldiers escorted the nine black students up the stone steps of Central High."[^] This has been an ongoing ordeal here in Arkansas and I cant quite figure out the real problem. The guy cuts some jobs and now it is a racial issue. There was another racial dispute in the Brinkley school district recently where a leader in the black community had 300+ students attend the church for classes and boycot the school...problem was his daughter continued to attend class at the school due to her pending graduation. The issue that sparked this? Multiple black administrators and other employees would be losing their jobs or positions including his wife.

            Not to worry, it will never be integrated enough.

            Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

              I think equality under the law is a very important principle and should not be toyed with for ANY reason.
