Some Wisdom From Missouri

From an editorial by Henry J. Waters III, publisher of the Columbia (Missouri) Daily Tribune, on the recent racial school assignment decision:

Affirmative action violates the principle of Brown. Chief Justice John Roberts expressed this idea with a rubric sure not to please his opponents when he said the way to eliminate race preferences is to eliminate race preferences.
....
Civil rights leaders prayed for the day when race would no longer be a consideration in civic life. Many of their self-identified successors continue to push the opposite.

I believe the recent Supreme Court school admission decision supports the original principle and does nothing to set back the educational progress of black children.

Let’s hope the citizens of Missouri get a chance to express their agreement with this wise editorial by voting in favor of the Missouri Civil Rights Initiative.
